--------------------------------------------------- GUESTHOUSE: * Enchanting cottage in Brookings, artistically designed to be a serene retreat for guests seeking a peaceful getaway. Faces street (>250' away from curb) driveway, coastal pine woodland, gardens and play area. The guesthouse itself is a separate building detached from the host's main house with a dedicated side entrance 50 steps to the oceanside nature preserve trails to the beach.
Your private guest entry is through custom iron doors into a great room featuring a grand wood-plank cathedral ceiling, The artist Adele spent four years attending to details such as incorporating live-wood ledges, benches, table and countertops inlaid with rivers of obsidian and pebbles collected from the seashore. The great room features a practical kitchenette with the latest features in new appliances such as two induction cooktops, quality cookware, mini pizza/toaster/air-fry oven, minifridge, etc. A 9' custom cedar console table behind the couch allows the chefs to feel part of the action. A 65" smart tv is set up with a new high quality leather ottoman sofa that converts into a comfy queen sized bed or family entertainment pit.
Adele designed the three-tiered loft space (and all her kid-friendly fun features) for her own grandchildren. Guests in the loft feel like they are sleeping in a Pacific Coast forest, Sheer curtains and blackout curtains offer privacy and napping ability, A high-quality toddler and pet gate allows parents to confine the loft space as appropriate.
More conventional private sleeping is provided by the antique queen bed under a wooden cathedral ceiling with icy rock-effect walls.
The bathroom is equipped with a luxurious black-glass and teak steam sauna that can be set for up to an hour of pampered comfort as well as a quick shower after your hikes through the local redwood forests, your private beach and local amenities.
12+ steps from the guesthouse you will find a dining and play area, under the Red Cedar coastal pines. This guest-exclusive area also features a flame genie, propane BBQ and two giant cable reel tables with eight stools. A 60" disk swing is set up in a casual native landscape. Horseshoes and cornhole equipment are stored between tables for fun.
Adele's husband Rich, aka the poet Kaibab, has spent his lifetime collecting rocks and nature specimens (including tons of petrified wood, lava rock and driftwood) that Adele has artistically rearranged on their property, inside and out. Spheres are her trademark that you will often see tucked into her garden driftwood sculptures as gazing balls throughout your strolls here.

My husband, our 1 year old, our two friends and two dogs stayed at Adele’s guesthouse for one night. We originally were booked for 3 nights but had to leave after one night due to the cleanliness of the property. The floors were dirty and covered with sand. Our baby crawls and walks and her clothing turned dark brown/black after only an hour of being on the floor. All of the sheets and blankets smelled like they had not been washed, and there was sand in the loft beds. In the loft, there were spider webs and open insulation. The toilet didn’t appear to have been cleaned between guests. The property itself is back off the road and the view you have is of the gravel driveway and surrounding area. You have to walk around the main house to get to the beach. It is a little treacherous getting down to the beach, especially if you have a small child. Our dogs also found it difficult but they made it down. I wouldn’t recommend staying here with an infant or toddler. I wouldn’t say this is a private stay as the main house is directly in front of the guesthouse. Adele would walk around the guesthouse and look through the windows. This felt invasive to us, which also contributed to us leaving. We notified Adele that we would no longer be staying there due to the cleanliness. She said she didn’t realize it had to be clean enough for a crawling baby. She subsequently cleaned after we left. Overall we were very disappointed in our stay and would not stay here again.

The property is set back from the road on a long driveway and there was plenty of room for our dog to roam around. Access to the beach is down a steep cliff with a variety of steps built into the hill (and a short ladder at the beach). This is a small but nice property. Very friendly guest hosts live in the main house. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay with Adele and Rich. Our family of 4 had plenty of room in the guesthouse. The house itself is designed to be comfortable and inspiring, and it is. We appreciated the artful touches.The property has incredible views and access to a beach that is simply one of the best I've ever spent time on. The tide pools are teeming with life, the beach was basically untouched as it is a long hike from public access. The only footprints we saw were own own. And possibly some deer and a raccoon.Our hosts were very kind and sincere, they were responsive and helpful to any questions we had. We had some great conversations during our stay and we are looking forward to our next visit.
