The grounds have been landscaped with indigenous grasses, bushes, and ferns, highlighting the phenomenal native redwood trees on the property, including a magical "runt" redwood tree that's over 500 years old.

All 4 bedrooms, with a total of 3 king and 1 queen beds (one bedroom per room), are furnished with high 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 in the yoga studio if required. Elements is family friendly, complete with pack-and-play, booster seat, and a variety of kids toys and games. The redwoods are a wonderful place to enjoy quality time with family. The Main House or "Lodge" This contemporary craftsman structure with an open plan great room, combines a spacious and refined living room, dining room, and kitchen. A reclaimed redwood sliding door leads to the master bedroom with an exceptionally comfortable king bed (many have said that it is the most comfortable bed they've ever slept in), a walk-in closet, and its own en suite bathroom with large soaking tub. The hallway leads to the large guest bathroom, featuring a 3-head spa shower and a walk-out to a Zen-inspired private garden. An office with desk and printer round out the Lodge. 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, refrigerator/freezer, wine fridge, serving trays, and complete dinner service featuring the sort of tableware you might find in a high-end restaurant. A large corner pantry is stocked with a variety of seasonings and other basics to assist you in cooking up whatever you desire. The Lodge is replete with fine attention to every detail, from the refectory-style dining table and rustic chairs (seating for 8+), the remote-controlled indoor fireplace, the deep Restoration Hardware leather sofa, Gumps leather chairs, and custom designed decorative Portuguese candle chandelier, which radiates throughout the main living area. West Terrace and BBQ, or "The Outdoor Living Room" ** Please note that due to fire risks we have temporarily removed the fire pit The West Terrace, accessed via a wide 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 features a state-of-the-art gas BBQ, sink, lighting, and seasonal herb garden. It's like 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 massive outdoor dining table (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 or "Spa House" This house has its own outdoor terrace and private seating area under a large Japanese Maple tree. Its windows have beautiful garden views as well, but with different vistas, giving those that stay a unique atmosphere and privacy. The guest house 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. Both rooms feature cable-connected HDTVs, and the larger of the two rooms has its own coffee bar. Both rooms connect to a common hallway that leads to the oversized bathroom. The Spa House gets its name from this multi-shower-head bathroom which offers a mini spa experience off a secluded and private patio. The Pine Cabin The cabin is everyone’s favorite. The pine-paneled interior is a classic recreation of the traditional summer camp cottage, only this time with its own en suite bathroom, a luxurious king size bed, and a heated outdoor shower. The cabin also features its own seating area, adjoining a large deck with views of the redwoods and gardens. 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, sound system, outdoor seating, and more. 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 Redwood Hot Tub At the center of the compound is the hot tub 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 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 in all our worldly travels. It's one of those things that must be experienced to be appreciated. Perched at the top of the property, this deck offers some of the best views of the entire estate, and has this amazing restorative vortex energy about it - difficult to describe, but many of our guests have agreed they can feel it too. Regardless, the view is worth the visit.
