Madrone Cottage - Sea Ranch cottage with private hot tub in the redwoods, dogs welcome

Step off the deck into a cathedral of coastal redwoods on the Sonoma Coast. Soak in the hot tub under a canopy of stars and redwoods. Bring your pup along -- miles of trails are right outside. A cozy 1-bedroom retreat for two. A short walk from the heated community pool. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. The scent of redwood and salt air mingles on the breeze -- you know you're on the Sonoma Coast.

Worlds away from your day-to-day, this tranquil home presents a minimalist retreat at the fabled Sea Ranch. This idyllic community provides lap pools, tennis/pickleball courts, playgrounds, and over 50 miles of scenic hiking trails. The Sea Ranch Chapel, a unique (and non-denominational) work of art.

Designed by Fiona O’Neill, this stylish cottage is fully equipped for your stay. Moveable shoji paper walls create a flexible and calming interior, and large picture windows provide peaceful views of the trees and meadow. Whip up trail snacks or delicious dishes in the kitchen, configured with a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. Cozy up by the wood-burning stove after long walks on the beach, or unwind outside with a view of the stars.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step outside to the deck, where the fresh coastal air and natural beauty of Sea Ranch surround you. End the day in the private hot tub under a canopy of stars and the quiet of the coast. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy a barbecue with the sounds of nature as your dinner music.

Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.

Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
