**Recently refreshed/re-furnished!** This house was named 'The Ranch House' by its architect Don Jacobs, this updated 70s cabin is a forest getaway with modern sensibility. The house is surrounded by redwoods & has 2 large decks, 1 w/ propane firepit w/ ample seating, the other w/ hot tub. Living room has picture windows w/ forest views & Morso wood-burning stove. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the hiking trails, pools, and outdoor amenities. House comfortably sleeps 4, plus fiber-optic internet

The space
Having won design awards, including an AIA Design award as well as a TSRA Design award, this 1 bedroom house features vertical-grain Douglas fir natural and whitewashed interiors and pitched ceilings. In the living room picture windows look out to the woods and a Morso wood-burning stove sits on an elevated section, with its tubular black chimney rising to the roof. Also, included is a large pull-out queen mattress with guests seeking to enjoy the striking morning views.

Despite its small footprint, The Ranch House has the feel of a much larger home. The kitchen features a U-shaped counter, hand-cut Heath Ceramic tiles, and wood cabinets. Guests are free to cook their own meals and take advantage of the craft coffee and tea provided.

The house is surrounded by redwoods and ferns and has two large decks, one with a propane firepit with ample seating, the other with a hot tub. Hiking trails take you in minutes to the Gualala River and a sunny picnic area known as the Hot Spot.

The bedroom has a wide closet, premium Casper mattress, multiple picture-window cut-outs with access to the private back patio. The recently remodeled bathroom features a skylight and shower, complete with premium Public Goods shampoos, soaps and conditioners provided.

Wifi is extremely fast and reliable, for those looking to do work or stay connected while at Sea Ranch. Follow us @thesearanchhouse.

Guest access
The entire house, patios, front and backyard are all yours to enjoy during your stay. There is only one immediate neighbor with a fairly obvious property dividing line. When hiking please stay on the trails and stay off of other homeowner's private property. We also ask that you respect the local flora and fauna.

Other things to note
1) We take cleaning and sanitation between guests very seriously. Our cleaning fee includes a deep clean prior to your stay + a hot tub cleaning by our technician after every guest.
2) The Sea Ranch pools are opened. Please message me if you are interested in taking a dip.
3) Wifi at the Ranch House is extremely fast and reliable (fiber-optic!), great for working remotely.

Born in the 80s
My work: Travel + Nonprofits
I was born in Hong Kong but moved to the US when I was 5. Since then, I've had the constant bug to explore new places! Luckily, my husband, Julian, is the same way and we've been fortunate to travel to many places together. On our trips, you can expect us to stumble upon incredible local eats, walk throughout the entire city, make many coffee stops, and say hello to the local dogs/cats. We're also hosts to our lovely forest getaway in Sea Ranch, @thesearanchhouse. Come visit!
