About this property

Cazadero 2BR cabin on 3 gated acres — private hot tub, dogs welcome

  • Summary:

    Soak in the deck hot tub as redwoods tower overhead on three gated acres in Cazadero. Two queen bedrooms sleep 4, with a stone-framed wood stove, a sunroom with its own TV and writing desk, and a fenced play yard for kids and dogs. Forest paths start 0.7 miles from the door; the Russian River and its tasting rooms are an easy drive.



    The Space:

    Three gated acres of redwood forest wrap this single-level Cazadero cabin — a private, unhurried basecamp where the hot tub steams on the deck and dogs get room to be dogs. Spend mornings with coffee under the trees, afternoons floating the Russian River or tasting at Korbel and Joseph Jewell (both an easy drive down the canyon), and evenings soaking under the redwoods.



    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.



    Evenings are the point here. Fire up the gas grill on the upper deck, eat outside as the light drops through the trees, then trade the dining table for the hot tub and let the forest go quiet around you. Cell service fades in the canyon — the WiFi keeps you connected, but the better move is letting the redwoods win for a weekend.



    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 on the deck

    -- 3 gated acres of redwood forest

    -- Full kitchen with dishwasher

    -- Gas grill

    -- Fully fenced play yard

    -- Dog-friendly (1 dog up to 50 lbs.)

    -- Washer and dryer, WiFi

    -- Two-car driveway parking

    -- No AC (naturally cool under redwood canopy)



    Guest Access:

    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, dog 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.



    The Neighborhood:

    Cazadero is a quiet redwood canyon community minutes from the Russian River. Forest paths start 0.7 miles from the door, Cape Fear Café is 1.5 miles away, and Guerneville's shops, restaurants, and Johnson's Beach are about 20 minutes. Armstrong Redwoods and the Sonoma Coast at Jenner make classic day trips.



    Getting Around:

    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.



    Other Things to Note:

    The cabin stays naturally cool under the redwood canopy — there's no air conditioning, and most evenings don't need it. Cell service gets patchy in the redwoods, so download offline maps before you arrive; WiFi is available at the cabin. Dogs are welcome, and the fenced play yard is theirs too.

Perfect getaway in the woods

Wagging Woods was the perfect getaway for our family get-together before school starts back. Great for kids and great for adults! Plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. All the kitchen appliances, the hot tub, the tv, and the washer/dryer worked fine and were much appreciated! I definitely recommend it!

WHAT A GEM!

We drove into a mini redwood forest with a cozy cabin in the middle of it. The hot tub was the perfect temperature, the redwoods were stunning, and inside the cabin was clean, with older furniture in the living room but modern appliances and an updated bathroom. Overall a wonderful place. We hope to go back next year.

Cute and Cozy

We enjoyed our stay at Waggin Woods and appreciate how dog friendly it was. The house was cute, cozy and well equipped with all of the amenities. The only real complaint would be that it appeared that at least one of the beds did not have linens changed, as there was sand and human hair in the sheets

Wagging Woods

We really loved the place. Our grandchildren had a great time. Wish I would’ve brought the dog because he would’ve very much enjoyed it. The only problem we had was the Internet is spotty at best and the beds are not very comfortable and the pillows are not that great everything else I would say five stars but I believe they need new beds and better pillows, and something with the Wi-Fi works

Good place for traveling with dogs

The home is very well equipped for those traveling with dogs, but we did not. Also given that it is dog friendly, I'd say the house was very clean. Kitchen is very well equipped especially if you want to bake, and the beds were comfortable. Location was a little difficult to find because we arrived at night but we managed. It's a great spot if you are exploring the area and just need a home base, but nothing special. Hot tub was nice during the day surrounded by trees but was difficult to figure out how to turn on.

Mildew and scum in hot tub

I was hoping I would be able to give this property a favorable review. Unfortunately, this is not possible. For our mother daughter retreat, I chose this property in the redwood forest because of the hot tub. When we arrived it was covered in scum. The water was green and opaque and there was mildew. It was unusable. My hopes of my Mom enjoying joint pain relief in a soothing hot tub were dashed. I brought this to the attention of management and received an insufficient credit on my credit card. If you rent this place, you may want to ask them to confirm with photos that the hot tub is clean and ready for your use. Disappointed.

Redwood Retreat

The setting is absolutely magnificent and has great potential as a place to relax. It is a very dog friendly place. Time spent on the deck was lovely. There were about 15 chairs and a table outside on the deck. The hot tub was clean, but we weren’t told about the lighting and could easily have slipped on steps in the dark. Except for the dining room, the furniture was worn out and uncomfortable. The kitchen appliances were good so preparing meals was fun. The house heater worked well once we figured out how to run it. The management, apparently not through VRBO, left no instructions on how to use the house, i.e., the combination to the hot tub lock, running the house heater, information about the pass code for the the one tv that worked, and no information about the area (restaurants, parks, stores, and hikes). They sent an email with some of this information on the day of our stay. Additional management charges, not including the pre-paid pet fee, through VaCasa, were more expensive than was the rental fee. As far as we could tell, they responded to texts, put the laundry in the dryer and made the beds after we left. There may have been more that they did that wasn’t apparent to us.

Wagging Woods was the perfect cabin in the woods getaway we were looking for! This is one of those stays where you can tell that the people that own it actually stay there themselves. It has all the amenities that make a home feel extra comfortable and cozy and kitchen has all the equipment that you need for making great meals. Also this cabin truly feels like you're in the forest by yourself. There are neighbors but you can't see them. Every morning I went out on the deck and enjoyed my coffee while listening to the birds and feeling an immense sense of peace and relaxation- just me, my dog, the trees, and the birds 3 The hot tub is in the perfect spot and the outdoor lights make it so cute and welcoming. Just make sure to watch out for ticks which is to be expected but I didn't think of it right away. It was also quick and easy to pop over to Jenner to see the ocean and there is a general store very close by if you forget anything. The hosts were really helpful and accommodating with getting us some items we left behind too. Really a great experience end to end. We can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay at Wagging Woods. Very clean, quiet and peaceful which is exactly what we were hoping for. My husband is a chef and he loved the appliances! Our dog had an absolute blast exploring the outdoor spaces under the beautiful redwoods. Close enough to fun stuff, yet distant enough to feel in your own world. We had a relaxing stay.

The windows and doors to the outside dodge have screens to prevent bugs, etc from flying in. It would have been also better if the rental didn't look like it had any caulking or repairs done near the electrical outlets, as in certain areas it was obvious that the electrical outlets were barely built/screwed into the walls?
