Wagging Woods - Cazadero Dog-Friendly Redwood Cabin with Hot Tub and Wood Stove

Soak in the deck hot tub as redwoods tower around this Cazadero retreat. Inside, knotty pine cabinets meet dark granite at the U-shaped kitchen, and a black wood stove warms the open living room. Walk forest paths 0.7 miles to Point of ridge, or 1.5 miles to Cape Fear Café. Dogs welcome.

Spend mornings on the deck as mist lifts off the Russian River, afternoons floating the river or visiting Korbel and Joseph Jewell tasting rooms, and evenings around the firepit with the day's bottles. The heart of the home wraps a stone-framed wood-burning stove. Sink into the seating, browse the board games, or slip into the separate sunroom with its own TV, writing desk, and vaulted ceilings. Knotty pine cabinets in the kitchen echo the forest outside, a gas range and dishwasher ready for any meal. Pull up to the dining table for six or claim a stool at the bar — Caz at its most lived-in. OUTDOOR LIVING The wraparound deck offers multiple levels — grill on the upper deck, dine outdoors, or soak in your private hot tub surrounded by redwoods. The covered front porch and game table in the secluded yard provide even more space. A fenced play yard with picnic table and seesaw is for kids and dogs. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Two peaceful bedrooms each offer a queen bed with traditional wood furniture against pale yellow walls. Sleeps 4. PROPERTY AMENITIES -- Private hot tub -- Full kitchen with dishwasher -- Gas grill -- Fully fenced yard (dog-friendly) -- Two-car driveway parking -- No AC (naturally cool under redwood canopy)

Drop into the private hot tub on a deck wrapped by old-growth redwoods, then stoke the wood-burning stove inside under exposed beams. The whole single-level cabin is yours, dogs included — the multi-level decks keep you tucked away in the forest. Let yourself in with the keypad code, and pull up to two cars in front.

Cazadero is about an hour and 45 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and River Road — a scenic drive into a quiet redwood canyon. A car makes the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast easy to explore, from redwood groves to coastal bluffs. Cell service gets patchy in the redwoods, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is worth it.
