**Baywood Redwood Retreat: Your Gateway to the Majestic Redwoods**
Nestled on the doorstep of the world-renowned Redwood National Park, Baywood Redwood Retreat offers an unparalleled vacation experience for nature lovers, families, and adventurers alike. Designed with your comfort in mind and purpose-built for family fun, this newly renovated property gives you direct access to the awe-inspiring beauty of the Redwoods, with towering trees right in your yard. Whether you're here to explore the park or simply bask in the natural beauty of the Redwood Coast, this retreat is the perfect home base for your Redwood adventure.
**Outdoor Living Amidst the Giants**
Step outside and immerse yourself in the ultimate outdoor experience. Surrounded by ancient redwoods, this stunning property boasts sweeping views of the Baywood Golf Course and a serene backdrop of towering trees. As the afternoon sun sets, the emerald fairways of the golf course glow, and fog often rolls over distant mountains, creating an atmosphere that is both peaceful and rejuvenating.
The expansive 1,200 sq ft patio is your sanctuary for outdoor living. Featuring a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen with a bar top, it’s perfect for al fresco dining while grilling up your favorite dishes. Nearby, a 7-person hot tub awaits, offering the ideal spot to unwind after a day of hiking through the nearby Redwoods.
At the heart of the patio, you'll find a unique gas fire pit with a custom concrete table crafted from handmade steel logs and pinecones—just the place to gather after exploring the nearby Redwood forests. With room for 8-10 people, this is the perfect spot for an evening of conversation, drinks, and stargazing.
For a little friendly competition, enjoy a custom-made Cornhole game built from Redwood wood—perfect for soaking in the serene surroundings.
Beyond the patio, the property leads you through a wooded trail to a grass turf area where children can enjoy a swing or play games like soccer, badminton, or volleyball. For an elevated view, the deck above the grass offers a lovely spot to watch the kids and relax under the glow of 400 feet of twinkling string lights that make the backyard just as inviting at night.
The highlight of your stay is the peaceful connection with nature. A trail leads you to the top of the property, where another deck offers sweeping views of the golf course and surrounding woods. Here, four hammocks are strung between majestic redwoods—offering a tranquil retreat where you can let the sounds of nature soothe your soul.
**The House: Cozy Comfort Meets Redwood Charm**
Baywood Redwood Retreat is a charming, tri-level home that balances modern comfort with timeless natural beauty. Originally built in the 1960s, the house has been thoughtfully updated to include an open-concept layout that is ideal for large groups or families.
Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a game room that doubles as a cozy 6th bedroom with a comfortable Murphy bed. This fun-filled room features a pool table, a 65-inch TV, and its own bathroom, making it a favorite for teens or anyone looking for a private retreat within the home.
The main level is home to a spacious great room where the living area, kitchen, and dining space seamlessly flow together. The kitchen is a chef’s dream—fully stocked with high-end appliances and everything needed to prepare memorable meals for your group. The large dining table seats 8-10, and the expansive windows provide beautiful views of the golf course and its occasional golfers. It's an exciting, live-action backdrop as you enjoy a meal or relax in the living area with a movie on the 85-inch TV.
The great room leads to a covered sun porch, a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while soaking in views of the surrounding trees and golf course. Just off the sun porch, the bunk room feels like a cozy treehouse, with windows all around, a TV, and an electric fireplace to keep things warm and inviting.
The upper level of the house features three spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with a king-sized bed and a spa-like bathroom. Two additional king bedrooms offer plenty of space for rest, each with its own internet TV and a quiet, serene atmosphere.
**Additional Space for Larger Groups**
For those traveling with a larger group, a charming cottage on the property provides a 7th bedroom. With a queen bed and a stunning view of an old-growth redwood stump, this cozy space offers a peaceful retreat. The cottage is located just 50 feet from the main house and is perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy, though it does not have its own bathroom (the main house is just a short walk away). A mini fridge is provided for drinks and snacks.
**The Ultimate Base Camp for Redwood Adventures**
Baywood Redwood Retreat offers you the perfect mix of comfort and adventure. With immediate access to Redwood National Park, you can spend your days exploring trails, discovering hidden groves, and marveling at the towering giants. Afterward, return to your home base, where the redwoods continue to surround you, offering a peaceful escape and a chance to unwind.
Whether you're hiking the towering Redwoods or simply relaxing by the fire pit, Baywood Redwood Retreat is the ideal place to reconnect with nature, family, and friends. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories in the heart of the Redwoods!
Guest Access:
You will have access to the main house and yard.
The Neighborhood:
Imagine sitting on the covered patio, sipping your morning coffee, and watching the deer in the distance. Emerald green grass is in full view, as the Baywood Golf Course surrounds the property.
The house is located on Baywood Ln, which is a private road. Because this is a private road, we ask guests not to walk further up the hill to the neighbor's homes. You can walk to the left out of the driveway and go left or right for a nice stroll around the golf course
Baywood Country Club is a private course. If you are interested in golf, please let us know and we can see if it is possible to get you on the course. The official rule is that the member needs to be with the guest but we have found calling the pro shop with reservations can often work.
A short drive from the house is Murphys Supermarket for stocking up on supplies (2 miles)

10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Great place to share with lots of friends. Had a small plumbing issue upon arrival, however, the host responded immediately and sent a plumber right away. Did not impact the stay. Beautiful grounds and comfortable rooms.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Nice location. Visited the redwoods and enjoyed that. Some beautiful trees and trees stumps on the lot. Some of the property is a bit dated. Three bathrooms made it a little tight for our large group. Sofa and coffee table were a bit big for that living room. Hot tub and yard was very nice.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The house and backyard are both so beautiful, and the location was private and quiet. We had children with us, and it was very thoughtful of the hosts to include toys for them in the bunk room, and a baby gate! We were able to get an early check-in which was MUCH appreciated. Check in and check out were very simple, and the hosts offered great communication and wonderful recommendations of things to do.Regarding cleanliness, I would give 3-4/5 stars. There were some stains/goop on various walls that could’ve been easily wiped away; unopened candy in the bunk room (choking hazard for dogs/kids); as well as trash under the couch (including food wrappers). The beds seemed clean though, and that’s always my #1 priority.The home came with lots of amenities including televisions and WiFi, but unfortunately, these were not all working. The TV in the master bedroom seems to be having an issue with the screen as it was so dim (despite the brightness being turned to 100%), it was basically impossible to see. The TV in the bunkroom was also non-working. The WiFi did not reach the basement or master bedroom barely at all, and didn’t reach the separate cabin at all so that TV was useless, as well. This was disappointing. I was also a little perturbed that I was unable to find basic cleaning supplies, like a vacuum or even extra paper towels (we were only left with 1/2 roll). Overall, I would stay again despite these minor issues.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We had a great time during our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed, including some great local recommendations in their guidebook. Jon was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The location was also perfect for exploring the National Redwood Forest. We'd love to stay again!
