Cazadero Private Home for Rent: OTTER CREEK - Property 22961

How about a brand-new remodeled creek-side cabin in the redwoods for your perfect getaway? This lovely cabin has redwood siding, trim, and deck built from three redwood trees from behind the house that were milled on site.

Everything about Otter Creek is fresh and new! This is a delightful little cabin with a charming bedroom with queen bed and a double living room sleeper for extra sleeping. A gas fireplace provides both heat and ambiance on chilly evenings.

But it gets better....... how about sitting quietly and watching adorable river otters at play, sliding down the nearby creek banks they use as a playground. These endangered cuties are rarely seen except by those in this vicinity, but they will disappear if they hear you or your dog coming their way! So be one with nature and you're in for a treat. Can life get better than this?

On the deck are built-in benches, a hot tub, and a gas grill piped to propane so you never need worry about running out of gas in the middle of a barbecue. Right out your front door is a 65' path down to the creek. In the summer there is a large gravel bar; bring some folding beach chairs and spend the day sunning or you can wade the creek to a nearby swimming hole. The cabin itself is in a redwood grove, which keeps it cool at all times. With only two houses in the far vicinity, one screened by an ingenious carport, the other considerably in back of the cabin and barely visible, Otter Creek offers a quiet, tranquil location.

One bedroom, one bath newly remodeled creek-front cabin with gas fireplace. Beautiful, tranquil setting in a redwood grove, access path to Austin Creek with gravel beach. Hot tub on private deck; gas grill. Queen bed in bedroom; queen sleeper in living room. Bathroom has combination tub/shower. Washer/dryer. Dog okay.

Forestville is most convenient to wineries, Sebastopol, and Santa Rosa, followed by Guerneville and Monte Rio.
There is little difference in temperature between Guerneville and central Monte Rio. Forestville will be slightly warmer, while Duncans Mills and Cazadero will be slightly cooler. There is no air-conditioning here (with a few exceptions): the ocean breezes provide natural cooling at night and homes in warmer areas have fans. The Northwood golf course area is 2 - 3 miles west of Guerneville and, although this is technically Monte Rio, these homes are as close to Guerneville as they are to central Monte Rio.

Duncans Mills is close to the ocean, with some marine influence, yet still enjoys warm, sunny days in the summer.

Cazadero is redwood forest, with an all-year creek running through it; in general the most secluded homes will be found here.

Homes along the river are generally not as private as the homes along the creeks or in the forest, although there are exceptions. The river homes are rarely fenced and most will have some small degree of road noise since River Road, running along the river, is the main artery for the area. We do have some river homes free of all road noise. If this is a major issue for you, please ask us.

There is a 24-hour Safeway and a health food store in Guerneville and smaller markets in Forestville and Monte Rio, as well as a general store in Cazadero. On Hwy 166 north of Sebastopol, Andy's Market is worth a stop. There are video rentals in all towns except Duncans Mills. Guerneville has bicycle rentals. The best shopping is in Guerneville and Duncans Mills.

Boat rentals are in Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Duncans Mills. Boating depends upon river and weather conditions and many homes with boats have seasonal docks. We cannot guarantee boating will be possible or safe anytime other than mid-June through mid-September.
