Sanctuaire offers many off site amenities such as being close to the Pacific Coastal Highway (PCHwy 1); a treasure trove to make any cyclist happy. World-Class Wine Tasting in the Great Russian River Appellation and 5 star Dining close by in Jenner. Almost forgot\~we have beautiful WARD CREEK FRONTAGE,with Good accessibility, with picnic table and loungers. Our pond in front of homesite, will serenade you with chattering frog life\~ We have been around for over two decades\~and feel that sharing this incredible beauty, with our guests\~can offer peace and tranquility, for yourself, and us, your host's. Again, thanks for considering Sanctuaire.

The home (its decor and furnishings were super chill Victorian era to just lounge about in for you homebodies out there), grounds and views of the opposing hills were stunning. It was entirely peaceful and the stars at night are divine. Everything was functioning and operating as planned. The setup down at the creek was extremely serene. Bring bug spray and dont forget that you are truly spending time in the country when you see bats flying about. The host Maria was very helpful and always accesible. We will be back ! ##### James O.

The home is a lovely eccentric gem! It is very comfortable with all amenities for your comfort. Love the upper deck with the view of the pool and spa with the barbecue in close proximity to the kitchen. The property is very quiet, private and serene! Walking down to the creek was a bonus! In the 100 degree weather in September the lower bedroom and bath was a plus!! The owner loves her home and was a beautiful lady to communicate with during our questions and concerns in booking.

Words cannot describe how beautiful and serene this property is, along with one of the most attentive host you could ask for. Between the wonderful art work, stained glass and Tiffany lights the interior is nothing like you have experienced before. The acreage surrounding the property gives you a feeling of total seclusion, but help is there right away if you need it. The Pool and Jacuzzi are perfect and rare for the area. There is wonderful hiking along the 40+ acres and a Creek to relax by. I cannot express how much we loved the property and appreciated Marie the host. Take your time driving up the road, and you must bring plenty of supplies. Mainly because you might not want to leave! Thank you Marie! ##### Vern M.

When I stepped foot into this Magical home at Sanctuaire I was transported into a world of creativity and excellence that the photos did not convey. I was pleasantly surprised around every corner. The first thing I notice was that the beautiful art deco Tiffany lamps all turned on and worked! Marie (the owner) had thought to put the same colored lightbulbs as the shades, making for a beautiful warm and inviting ambiance. Every piece of furniture is an antique and tastefully chosen to fit the decor. Some pieces are so large that I am sure the owner built the home around the furniture! We arrived in the heat of August's summer in Cazadero to a pristine blue pool, not a neighbor in site and so peaceful! My family joined my husband and I for a day and our dobermans had a lovely time scouting out the 29 acres of land! Marie is lovely and so very accessible without being seen, as she lives on the property. It was also a lovely easy stroll to the creek that she recommended. Another beautiful addition is the pond! A beautiful place to spend time with the Butterflies and Dragonflies. This is an Artist's paradise and I plan on returning with my watercolors for some peaceful relaxing days again in the future. ##### Nancy P.

The owner, Marie, was VERY accommodating to anything we needed and a gracious host. This 27 acres is nestled beautifully in Cazadero, with sprawling endless views of the magnificent forest surroundings. The salt water pool was very refreshing since we visited during a heat wave into the 100's. The hot tub was just as refreshing, especially for star gazing into the clear nights. The muscical chirping of the frogs from the pond at night just captivated the whimsical serenity of this gorgeous sanctuary. Our week stay was storybook picturesque. To be far I feel I need to share and remind folks you are in a forest and a good 30-40 minutes to a gas station or full grocery store. There is a small grocery/deli in Cazadero that had delicious homemade desserts and made fantastic sandwiches, and had various odds and ends to get by. Encountering critters of various sizes is just nature doing it's thing, whether inside or out. I feel it should also be noted that the sanctuary is decorated beautifully with endless ornate/antique furniture and Tiffany lamps, so definitely not appropriate for roaming hands of a toddler or mischief child to run, jump and play. Because our stay was during a heat wave the owner did her due diligence to try an cool the top portion of the home with various devices, but perhaps investing in an a/c unit would be more economical. ##### HAROLDINE B.

The pix don’t do justice. You feel like you are the last human on earth nestled in the trees with no one else in sight. Maria greeted us as we arrived. She had both wood stoves stoked and the little place was toasty. Although she has many wonderful lamps and antiques you don’t feel like you can’t relax and live in the home. The terra cotta tile floors are covered with lovely knotted rugs. The kitchen is snug but fully serviceable. We cooked braised ribs and made chili and soups etc with no issues. The fridge and freezer are large with plenty of space for snacks and leftovers. The tub has a lovely ambiance in the windowed nook. Soaked a bunch. The shower downstairs is lovely as well. The hot water seems endless and is very hot in kitchen so careful but squeaky cleaned pots are a breeze. Maria was gracious and very available for any issues but not uncomfortably around. We did puzzles and coloring etc on the ample dining table. I brought my Alexa and she provided music, news, timers and alarms if needed. The outside decks and their views are wonderful. The pool area is nice and private. Although the immediate area around the cottage is cleared you feel remote due to the oaks and conifers around. The only sign of civilization is the rare sound of a truck rumbling on the narrow street to the area. The deer pass through daily sometimes twice. The jays squawk while you have morning coffee. The sheer silence cleanses the mind before the bubble pops and you have to go home. ##### Tracie C.

My reservation was a gift for my wife and our 45 anniversary.The house is beautifully decorated with furniture pieces from across the world. A path leads to a large wonderful saltwater indoor pool. The location is private and views of large pine trees.We spent 10 days there and left totally relaxed and recharged. I’ve used VRBO for years and this property is my number one choice.
