Four detached buildings and expansive decking comfortably accommodates large groups. You'll be located within minutes of the beaches of the Sonoma Coast and the vineyards of the Russian River Valley, and be amazed by the solitude that surrounds you. Some unique aspects of this property include: \- A jetted hot tub centered in a ring of redwoods \- Chefs kitchen with commercial range \- 6+ separate outdoor seating areas \- Free 150Mbps WiFi \- An extensive collection of family board games The grounds have been landscaped with indigenous grasses and ferns, highlighting the phenomenal native redwood trees on the property, including a beautiful 500 year old redwood tree. Pathways and decks wind throughout, offering innumerable walks among ever-changing scenery, including a serene running pond, an antique stone masonry fountain, and an enchanting seasonal waterfall to delight and awaken the senses. When you hike from the main compound, pathways become forest trails beckoning further into remote adjoining terrains still on the property. Austin Creek, with its numerous swimming holes and opportunities for river wading, is delightful in summer and winter alike. The entire retreat is professionally lit to a stunning degree, complimenting its allure day and night. Entertaining is effortless and everyone can still have their own privacy, while gathering together in the large entertaining areas. All 4 bedrooms, with a total of 3 king and 1 queen beds, are furnished with quality linens and down comforters. There is also 1 queen pull out bed in the living room of the main house, as well as an inflatable mattress that can be used as needed. Main House & Kitchen The main house is a contemporary craftsman structure with a great room combining the living room, dining room, and kitchen, a master bedroom with walk-in closet, and two bathrooms. The master bathroom has a large bath tub, and the other is exceptionally large with multiple shower heads and a walk-out to a Zen-inspired private garden. There is also an office with desk and printer. The fully appointed kitchen is centered around a granite island and can accommodate multiple chefs. Appliances include a professional six burner gas Wolf range/oven, microwave drawer, stainless refrigerator/freezer, garbage compactor, serving trays, and complete dinner service featuring the kind of tableware you might find in a high-end restaurant. A pantry offers a variety of seasonings and other basics. The main house is replete with fine attention to every detail, from the refectory-style dining table (comfortable seating for 8+), the deep Restoration Hardware leather sofa, to custom designed decorative Portuguese candle chandelier, which radiates throughout the main living area. The West Terrace, BBQ, and Fire Pit The West Terrace, accessed via a large sliding door from the main house, is the essence of indoor/outdoor living and is an example of what makes this estate so unique. The outdoor kitchen and gardens were crafted from river stone years ago when the property was a summer campsite. It now includes a state-of-the-art gas BBQ, sink, lighting, and seasonal herb garden. It's an outdoor living room and is a great place to enjoy a warm day or cool evening in the company of friends and family. The original river stone fire pit is now the focal point of a modern and sophisticated outside entertainment area, including outdoor speakers controlled by your mobile phone via the Sonos Sound System. The outdoor dining table with seating for 14+ was custom made from the center cut of a local redwood tree. It’s the perfect setting for a large family gathering or a romantic retreat. The Guest House The guest house has its own terrace and seating area. Its windows have beautiful garden views as well, but with different vistas, giving this two-bedroom space a unique atmosphere and privacy. It has two bedrooms, one with a king size bed, and one with a queen size bed, each with their own private entrance to the outdoors, connected by a common hallway to the bathroom. The spacious multi shower head bathroom offers a mini spa experience off a secluded and private patio. The Cabin The “cabin” is everyone’s favorite. The pine-paneled interior is a classic recreation of the traditional summer camp cottage. It has its own bathroom, luxurious king size bed, and heated outside shower. The cabin also adjoins a very large deck with its own views of the redwoods and gardens. It's a secluded gem. The Yoga + Exercise Studio This quaint structure is situated in the quiet of the lower gardens, accessible via a Japanese wood walkway. The deck off the back offers another sitting area with meditative views. The studio offers yoga mats, blocks, adjustable weights, mirrored wall and more. The yoga studio can also accommodate overnight guests if the need arises, using the provided inflatable mattress. It also has a Sonos sound system connected to the main house, controllable by your phone. A Hot Tub in the Redwoods At the center of the compound is the spa area, featuring a circular jetted hot tub situated in the center of an ancient ring of redwood trees. It’s truly a magical location: A soak in the Elements hot tub at night lets you link with nature and the starlit sky, a wonderful harmonious experience. The Treehouse Terrace There is a tranquility and peacefulness to this place that feels unique and special. It's one of those things that must be experienced to be appreciated. Not only does this deck perched at the top of the property offer some of the best views, it has this amazing restorative energy about it - it's difficult to describe, but many of our guests have agreed they can feel it too. The Latest in Entertainment & Technology Located throughout the property you'll find all the latest that technology can offer including three HDTV’s, a full range of cable programming (On-demand, HBO, Showtime, ESPN, Sports, and more), Blu-ray DVD players, and high speed internet (150 Mbps).

What a beautiful property. The redwoods are amazing. Enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor kitchen, patio and the guest cottages. Heather could not have been more accommodating. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. Sonoma County is beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the area. Would definitely highly recommend staying here. Raymond's Bakery is a must see. We went there our first evening for pizza and wine and good music. Their bakery was excellent as well. ##### Mary E.

It's secluded among the grandiose redwoods and has every accommodation you can imagine. Born, raised and living in the city, this was exactly what we needed, a country getaway. The property easily accommodated 8 people and we all enjoyed cooking dinners in the beautiful chefs kitchen and grilling steaks on the outdoor grill. Watching stars from the hot tub was a perfect nightcap. Wine tasting and restaurants were a bout 20 minutes away. You can't go wrong in this "postcard" home. We will definitely be back. ##### Ricardo G.

It was an outstanding venue for family to come together and enjoy the "elements". The grounds and home was in perfect condition and well appointed. We were able to visit wineries in Sonoma, Napa and Dry Creek. I wish we would have dined more at home...3 nights were not enough! My husband and I plan on returning by ourselves for a special retreat! Michael is a gem and can make anything happen! Thanks for sharing this wonderful home. ##### deborah b.

The location was perfect to enjoy private time with the family yet partake in a variety of activities as challenging or sedate as one chooses. The facilities were extremely comfortable for our party of eight adults. The pictures are all accurate but you cannot truly capture the the asthetics and physical relaxation we enjoyed observing an artistically lighted landscape from the relaxing hot tub. Michael knows the area and had some good suggestions. This was the best vacation I have yet to experience, the only downside is that future adventures will be hard to meet these standards. ##### Mark P.

The setting is very private, quite, exactly what I was looking for. It was awesome to wake up in the forest, drink coffee and look at the trees. I loved that we could spend time together with my parents in the main house and take an advantage from staying in separate houses when we needed it. Out kid had so much fun at the yoga house. I hope we left everything in the right place. Thank you for excellent bathrooms, comfortable beds, fun washer and drier, well equipped kitchen, the web, Netflix, the heater in the house. It does matters. ##### Ekaterina Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie S. 29 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Stay! Hannah and Bryan were very accommodating and responsive hosts. They were easy and professional to communicate with. Elements has all you could ever need in a vacation rental. Nestled in the redwoods, it felt like a retreat. Everything was very clean, comfortable and thoughtfully organized. The kitchen cabinets even had labels inside which made it very easy to find what you need when cooking. The outdoor entertaining space was great for intimate family dinners and chats around the fire. The entire property had great sunlight the whole day. The River is a quick jot down the road and the beach was a 15 minute drive. This place was spectacular! My family and I spent 3 days there and wish we could have spent more. We will definitely be back for a longer stay! Thank you Hannah and Bryan! ##### Leslie S.

This place exceeded all of my expectations. First of all, the owner could not have been more accommodating. Before I arrived at the property, the owner provided me with great recommendations for my trip. Second of all, the property and surroundings were stunning - a beautiful, private retreat in the middle of giant redwood trees. This property has it all - you never have to leave..... Beautiful outdoor patio, commercial grade grill and indoor kitchen, awesome firepit, jacuzzi (in the middle of the beautiful redwoods), etc. Also, the property was very well kept and clean. I would highly recommend Elements. This place is truly something special and I will be going back again. Thank You Michael.

From the first moment I arrived, I knew this was going to be a life-changing place. It was important to me that my party venue have the perfect balance of tranquility, beauty, nature, style, comfort, and luxury; Elements did not disappoint. In fact, it far exceeded my expectations. Michael, the owner is a delightful person. He addressed all my questions and concerns and was extremely helpful when it came to suggesting local activities, restaurants and favorite shops. He magically merged rustic beauty with sophisticated style. I wanted a place where I could entertain my friends in luxury and comfort, and give them the feeling of being in a secluded forest setting enchanted by the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains, and towering redwoods, yet provide them all the “creature comforts” of a spa resort where they could relax and unwind. We also enjoyed Austin Creek’s many swimming holes, just a short walk from the property. True to its namesake, Michael created a perfect blend of all nature’s elements: wood, water, earth, fire, and air. Whether you are looking for solitude, intimacy, celebration or assembly, Elements provides a full spectrum of experiences. I can’t wait to return! ##### Sandra P.

We stayed one evening at Solage Calistoga and had an amazing time, then it was time to drive West to The Elements. I was worried that maybe I had made the wrong decision and should have stayed at the hotel the entire 3-day weekend. Then we arrived. For one, the property was gorgeous: up on a hill surrounded by beautiful redwoods, stream running nearby, and the gorgeous view of surrounding mountains. Each house was immaculate and well-appointed with everything we needed and more, and the outdoor entertainment areas were fabulous. My absolute favorite piece of this property was the hot tub area. A deep, wooden hot tub built into a deck surrounded by redwoods (just as the photo shows). The lighting is perfect and made the experience complete. We could see the beautiful trees and the stars above us. We were able to spend a day driving around the area and easily made it down to Bodega Bay for beautiful views of the coastline, then to Guerneville to Boon eat+drink (yum!), and on to wineries and dinner in Healdsburg. Despite the remoteness of The Elements, we felt that we easily enjoyed the Russian River Valley. The combination of one night in Napa Valley and two at The Elements made our trip perfect. I wanted two completely different environments in one short trip, and I came home so well-rested and refreshed! Michael was very nice and accommodating despite my late arrival, took the time to show us around, and even set up our cell phones on his 3G MicroCell signal booster. One more note: make sure you make it down to Raymond's Bakery. Wonderful breads and pastries (and the pizza looked so good, but didn't get to try any). Raymond and his family, and the staff were extremely welcoming and sweet! ##### JAMIE ### 8/10 Good #### Karessa S. 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Karessa S.

Dressers, or even shelves on the wall for clothing is necessary. Just some hooks to hang jackets on would’ve been useful. ##### bill o.

The kids had plenty of room to run around and the adults enjoyed the great kitchen & BBQ facilities. We all enjoyed the hot tub in the woods and the deck in the trees. Really such a beautiful spot, the pictures don't do it justice. ##### Mark M.

We had a family reunion and this place was perfect. The property is absolutely magical surrounded by redwoods and a small creek, perfect for larger groups and dogs. We each got our own little unit house. We got carried away Sunday afternoon and played loud music, but the owner was really sweet and just reminded us to lower the volume a bit. We will definitely be back! ##### Roberta G.

This would be a perfect property for a group of couples or a family reunion. I was traveling with good friends and it was sort of weird that we all stayed in separate buildings – something I obviously should have thought about when reading the description. Other than that, it was a gorgeous property and I loved the outdoor patio. I’m in a motorized wheelchair and the bathroom in the main house was absolutely perfect for my roll-in shower chair. ##### Kate H.

Very expansive place. Great kitchen, separated housing areas for sleeping all with bathrooms. Jacuzzi works well, sitting below a canopy of redwoods. Extremely quite. ##### Mark G.
