The Space:

With the perfect amount of space for couples. Star Nest is a luxurious getaway, designed to feel like your home away from home.

Inside, you'll find all the amenities you could possibly need, including contemporary furnishings that complement the cozy ambiance of the wood-pellet burning stove - this is the main heat source in the home. Space heaters are provided for those exceptionally cold nights. The open concept layout, framed by grand vaulted ceilings, flows right into the fully equipped kitchen. Guests will have use of standard appliances, cookware, coffee maker, and more to conveniently prepare delicious meals at home. Tuck in at the dining table set for 4 and get ready to make unforgettable memories with your loved ones!

The cabin was adequate. The deck is a perfect place to meditate or read. The location is lovely. The bed is very uncomfortable.

Cozy

We enjoyed our stay. The nest is very cozy. We decided the loft was the primary as the bedroom downstairs is smaller and just for sleeping. Beautiful tree views from every window. So close to Anchor Bay, Cooks Cove and Gualala is just down the road. We will definitely stay there again.

Fantastic bakery in Gualala
We saw whales off the coast! Pt. Arena lighthouse was beautiful.

Quiet retreat with a beautiful view

My husband and I really enjoyed the rustic A-Frame cabin. It was stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend getaway and had a beautiful view. We took daily walks in the quiet, redwood lined neighborhood. The location is a short drive to beaches and hiking trails. Do note this is a rustic cabin and the main source of heat is a finicky pellet stove. Overall we loved the accommodations and plan to return.

Treehouse in the woods

We came to relax and that's exactly what we did. This wonderful little A-frame was clean, cozy, and felt like it was a million miles from anything, when in reality we were a few miles from town. The view out the windows was breathtaking at times. We would love to rent it again when we need to be energized.

Great spot

Very nice house, feels like a cabin in the woods! There are neighbors nearby, but you can’t hear them or see them from the living room’s large window. Really clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. Thanks for a great stay!

Gem in the woods

We walked in and said, "This is more wonderful than in the photos!!" This gem is perfectly suited in architecture, style, and furnishing to its quiet, gorgeous setting. Additionally, it has the marvelous personality of an older home complemented by comfortable contemporary updates.

We were impressed with the attention to detail at this sweet cabin in the woods. The cool a-frame with floor to ceiling windows truly make it feel like you’re in a tree house. The home was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy and comfortable retreat throughout our stay. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to restaurants, beaches, river and woods. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.
