Buck Hollow ~ Peace and Quiet Abound at this Creekside Retreat.
Buck Hollow is your personal retreat in the hills of historic Cazadero! The crystal-clear waters of Ward Creek flow between massive boulders creating perfect spots to cool your toes or splash about! Follow the trails… You’ll enjoy views of the creek and towering trees throughout this acre+ property. Outdoor dining, multiple patios and decks, a shade-graced hot tub, and outdoor shower keep your attention in the immediate space around the house, but inside is fantastic too!
Upstairs, the spacious master suite, second bedroom and full bathroom, kitchen, living room and additional seating/work area share high ceilings and views into the trees and out to the hot tub and patio. An open floorplan encourages conversation. Downstairs is a fully contained guest suite with a small kitchen and full bathroom. You can use the “ladder-stairs” between the two levels or walk outside. There are ample seating areas, window seats, and cozy spots to enjoy a book or settle with a glass of wine.
Families, Sonoma County explorers, and remote working folks will enjoy Buck Hollow! Adventure and relaxation are at your fingertips.

Location: Buck Hollow is set on an acre+ parcel, but sound carries so we ask guests to be aware of noise – especially once quiet time starts at 10 pm. The road to the home is narrow and you may need to stop/pull over for oncoming traffic. There are deer and other wildlife on the roads and in the area. We recommend taking the road slowly.

There is a set of automated “ladder-stairs” between the upper and lower levels that you are welcome to use or there are stairs around the front and back of the house.

Fencing: Most of the property is not fenced, but the yard closest to the lower unit is enclosed with gates at either side of the yard. Seasonal Creek: The water level in Ward Creek varies seasonally. Some years we see deep spots to splash about in the summer and some years they are mostly dry. With heavy rainfall in the winter, it may not be safe to play in the creek. Please use caution.

Family weekend
Lovely and well-equipped house in a beautiful and very private location. Kitchen had everything we needed. The highlight was being able to splash around in the creek on a warm summer afternoon. Russian River vacational rentals was responsive to a question we had while there.
