Deep Woods Hideaway - Dog-friendly forest retreat among redwoods, walk to Hot Spot & Gualala River

Forest light filters through the canopy onto this secluded Sea Ranch gem. Bring your pup along -- miles of trails are right outside. Curl up by the fireplace after a day exploring coastal trails. Room for 4 in this 1-bedroom home. Just a 12-minute walk to the heated community pool. Sea Ranch's iconic trails, tidepools, and heated pools are all at your doorstep. Morning mist drifts through the treetops as deer graze in the meadow beyond.

A true forest retreat awaits at this blissfully private Sea Ranch home, a secluded coastal hideaway tucked among lush ferns and towering redwoods. It's a side of Sea Ranch you'll delight in exploring, with miles of nature trails - leading to the Gualala River and the Sea Ranch Hot Spot - practically outside your door.

Designed by Don Jacobs and built by Jack Richardson in 1978, this home sits on an oversize parcel of land that abuts quiet, open space. Walk down to the Hot Spot to barbecue and picnic in the afternoons, or head in the other direction to access the oceanfront Bluff Trail at dramatic Black Point Beach (two miles). You'll also be equidistant to the heated pools, tennis courts, and saunas at Ohlson and Moonraker (two miles), two of Sea Ranch's three recreation centers.

With its generous windows and skylights framing the redwood canopy, this split-level home fills you with the feeling of waking up in a treehouse. Unfurl your yoga mat in the loft upstairs, and step out onto the redwood deck afterward with your first mug of morning coffee.

There's no TV to distract you here, leaving ample time to read, play the provided board games, and reconnect with your loved ones. A private washer/dryer is provided for your convenience as well.

Bring your pup along -- this home welcomes up to 1 dog.

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.

Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.

Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.

Welcome to bring 1 dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on a leash on trails and clean up after them.

Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
