About this property

Forested home with private hot tub & fireplace near trails

  • Summary:

    Forest light filters through the canopy onto this secluded Sea Ranch gem. End the day in your private hot tub surrounded by forest quiet. A warm fire anchors cozy evenings after forest hikes. Room for 4 in this 2-bedroom home. Sea Ranch community pools, tennis courts, and the Lodge are nearby. Trails, tidepools, and two heated community pools -- all within reach. Wildflower meadows and shaded forest trails start right outside your door.



    The Space:

    Enjoy everything from quiet window seats to a private hot tub at this, forested rental, surrounded by trees and natural beauty. This serene lodge is ideal for a family getaway for up to four or a romantic vacation for two.



    Located in the Sea Ranch community in Northern California, this two-bedroom home feels like it's built right into the trees! Surrounded by nature, this perfect getaway has plenty of peace, quiet, and opportunities for relaxation - indoors and outdoors. Natural wood walls, comfortable surroundings, and amenities characterize this charming Sea Ranch home.



    Relax in the living room on the sofa, watching a show on the cable TV or bringing a DVD along for movie night. This bright and airy room has large windows and oversized window seats, where you can lounge and read a good book. If you love to cook, you'll delight in honing your craft in the kitchen with professional cookware. Your fully equipped kitchen has all of the basic appliances, including a dishwasher, and extras like Henkel knives and KitchenAid appliances. At mealtime, a six-seat dining table surrounded by large windows is the ideal place to eat dinner.



    Sleep in the main bedroom in the comfortable king-size bed, or head into the second bedroom to sleep in one of two extra-long twins. A maximum of four guests can sleep here comfortably between the two bedrooms. You'll also have two full bathrooms to share. Other amenities include a private washer/dryer and two outdoor lounge chairs, where you can relax in the pool and get some sun. In the evening, take a soak under the stars in the private hot tub, spend some time sweating all the stress of everyday life out in the sauna (at Sea Ranch rec centers), or both. Golf pros and amateurs alike love Sea Ranch Golf Links, a 6,649-yard course with rolling hills and incredible ocean views from every angle.



    When you're not cooking in your vacation rental, you'll love dining at Black Point Grill in the Sea Ranch Lodge. You'll have incredible panoramas of the sea and a delectable dining experience full of internationally-inspired fare. Or, head into Gualala (about 10 miles away) for a dinner at Trinks (Wednesdays and Fridays).



    Ready for the outdoor escape of your dreams? This and quiet vacation lodge in Sea Ranch has all you need for your Northern California getaway. Book today.

Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.



    The Neighborhood:

    Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include community heated pool and hot tub (South) (3-minute drive), Pebble Beach access trail (3-minute drive), Black Point headland trails (4-minute drive). Explore over Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails, discover tidepools at low tide, swim in heated community pools, and end the day with dinner at The Sea Ranch Lodge. Stock up in Gualala, just 10 minutes south, where you'll find grocery stores, restaurants, a hardware store, and gas. Bodega Bay is a beautiful drive for fresh seafood.



    Getting Around:

    It's on the eastside of Highway 1 and all of the Sea Ranch beaches are just a quick drive away. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.



    Other Things to Note:

    Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



    Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



    Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.



    Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Relaxing Time Away

We had a delightful, relaxing and absolutely beautiful stay here. The accommodations were perfect. My only (minor) complaint was that the office was nearly 10 miles beyond the property. We were supposed to go there for a parking pass before entering the house. Since we arrived as the sun was setting (totally gorgeous) we postponed that until the following morning. Not a problem. Overall we had a fabulous time. Loved the forest view!

Fantastic stay

We stayed for two evenings as a getaway from SF. Longwell House was really perfect for a weekend where we were totally rained in. The house is totally secluded with fantastic forest views from every window. Tons of porches to enjoy the view from (though we didn’t get to enjoy too much cause of the rain). The layout and architecture of the house is really great and very “Sea Ranch-ish). The hot tub was warm all weekend and the wood sauna was perfect and quick to warm up. Importantly, the house was meticulously cleaned, which is probably the most crucial aspect to a vacation rental to us. Overall a great stay and will return! Just make sure to bring your own firewood if you want to use the wood burning fireplace - otherwise you’re going to need to pick it up in Gualala.

Great location and a great home

This would be a five-star review in all aspects except for a few maintenance issues that need attention: 1. Some light bulbs need to be replaced: one in the entry hall, one at ceiling level in the living room area, and one under-cabinet light in the kitchen. 2. The guest bath sink drain plug is inoperable. 3. The guest bathroom toilet paper dispenser falls apart when used. With these maintenance issues addressed, we’d highly recommend this home for a quiet retreat for a couple.

A Charming Getaway with Room for Improvement

Our stay at the Longwell House offered a picturesque retreat amidst the captivating forest surroundings. The charm of Sea Ranch itself is undeniable. However, the home had a few drawbacks that affected our experience. A leaky skylight caused a sizable puddle in the living room during heavy rain and despite our attempts to contact Vacasa after hours (5:15pm on a Tuesday), we were unable to reach anyone nor leave a voicemail. The absence of batteries in provided flashlights or lanterns made navigating the property after dark a challenge. Additionally, a couple of burnt out lights (most notably in the outdoor sauna), two of four not-working burners on the stovetop, and a broken coffee grinder affected our ability to carry out regular tasks comfortably. While the location was idyllic, these maintenance issues detracted from the overall enjoyment. Simple fixes, like ensuring flashlights have batteries and promptly addressing leaks, could elevate this rental to match the charm of Sea Ranch. With some attention to detail, it has the potential to be an exceptional getaway.

House was perfect! Loved the location in woods and cozy/well-appointed. Still easy to get to the ocean or take walk in the woods. Just wished the hot tub had been heated before arriving—took a little over a day to get to temp. Sauna was amazing

Beautiful views lovely home

This was the best of both aspects of Sea Ranch. Close enough to the beach to go every day for a walk on the beach. But also up in the wooded area for fantastic woodland views, and gorgeous woodland hiking trails.
