About this house rental
Super Private Custom Built Home on 388 acres.
This is a one-of-a-kind vacation rental because of the level of privacy and the large piece of property that is exclusively yours to use and explore. You will have the entire property (388 acres) all to yourself to enjoy. note- (occasionally the landowners may be staying in a cabin at the other end of the property about 3/4 of a mile away but this does not disturb the privacy or quietness of the house) . The house is a beautiful custom built home with hardwood cherry floors, two large redwood decks, four bedrooms and two baths, a family room, living room, dining room and is in one of the most beautiful locations that you can imagine. It is like renting a park without any other people. Located in the redwood belt you can enjoy miles of trails along cascading streams and little waterfalls that run through fern covered redwood forests. Swim in the pond, bike or hike along the trails, (kids can catch crawdads in the pond). The quietness of the property is truly amazing and is like nothing you will find anywhere else.
Have an undisturbed family reunion in one of the most beautiful pieces of property that you will ever visit.
The custom built home is well maintained and has many homelike qualities. There is a gas barbeque for entertaining. A beautiful creek runs past the front of the house and two ponds are on the property. One of the ponds is only 100 feet from the house. There are numerous species of wildlife including hawks, owls, pond turtles, river otters, and great blue herons to name a few.
There are two decks, one is covered and faces the pond and the other faces a meadow with 250 year old oak trees. The kids can pitch a tent in the adjacent meadows and explore the forests and creeks while you lay in the hammock among the oak trees.
This rental is as close to a wilderness adventure as you can get without actually having to rough it.
Please no electric vehicle charging since we are off grid and our system can’t handle it.
Holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Labor Day Fourth of July etc) are charged at normal summer rates and may have longer minimum stay periods.

This place is magical and so spacious. If you like to unplug and be with family and friends this place is for you and the family dog (s). Super kid friendly, comfy beds and great spots all over to chill.Tips: bring a ice & cooler for drinks, your own oven ready food (no microwave) & keep in in your off the grid running in solar.

As others have said, the home's setting is quite gorgeous. It is basically in the middle of a redwood forest. We saw a variety of birds, numerous deer, and an otter (or something similar) in the pond our last morning. Blackberries by the creek will likely be ripe for the picking in August. However, during our mid-June visit, numerous ticks and mosquitoes made it difficult to enjoy hikes and other outdoor activities. I wonder if the pond contributed to the mosquito issue?There is a master bedroom downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs. The fifth "bedroom" is simply a bed in the back of the upstairs family room with a freestanding screen mostly blocking it from view. The home is off the grid, and with no A/C, the upstairs was pretty hot later in the day, even with highs only around 80.I read all the old reviews and want to update some information found in previous reviews. There is no landline but our cell phones worked pretty well (Verizon & AT&T). There is a combination DVD/videotape player so if you have an old VHS tape you'd like to watch again, bring it! There also is Netflix now, as well as a large refrigerator with a very large freezer, and a four-burner propane stove with a large oven. There were virtually no children's toys. Overall, the home was pretty comfortable and very clean. And yes, communication with the host was excellent!

We spent 4 days in the rain on this property for our family Holiday and it was amazing! The caretaker 'Kale' was excellent, easily to communicate with and answered all of our questions. The home was perfect for all of us. For those of us that needed wifi, Starlink worked very well. We loved wandering through the vast forest and found a ton of edible mushrooms for a feast. Black trumpet chanterelles and hedgehogs were going off with all the rain! The hot tub and BBQ were great! This property will definitely be at the top of our list in the future! Thank you, Michael
