The property today includes the original orchard now gone wild, a younger functioning apple orchard, 3 meadows, an oak and pine forest, and miscellaneous gardens and fruit trees. A large barn, the homeowner's house, 2 studios, and your vacation rental cabin all make up the ranch today!
Beautifully and thoughtfully designed, this eco-friendly cabin boasts exposed beam construction, huge windows, and A-frame roofs. The sleek wood exterior is accentuated by red paneled French doors and sections of flagstone walls, complementing the front flagstone courtyard.
Inside this spectacular cabin, you'll find 2 spacious identically constructed rooms spanning 1,000 square feet with tons of light and a tasteful minimalist aesthetic. Curl up with a book on the extensive windowsill facing the lovely wooded outside.
The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with all the appliances, dishware, and cookware you'll need to whip up delicious homemade meals to be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home-away-from-home. Circle around the lovely 6-person patio table to dine al fresco in the fresh Northern California air. The spacious deck is surrounded by an open clearing with trees, providing ideal chances for spotting wildlife and bird watching!
Make your way to the expansive bedroom for peaceful slumbers in the plush king bed with intricate bedposts. Treat yourself to a bubble bath in the spa-like jetted tub before climbing under the covers. The room boasts soaring tongue and groove ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the patio - rise early and slip outside to watch the sunrise!
Other travelers will climb the charming sliding library ladder to the open loft to snooze in 3 twin beds - your kids will absolutely love this fun feature! The loft includes 2 huge skylights that can be easily opened and assist with the cabin's passive solar design, allowing the sun to heat the interior and cool itself when needed. This vacation rental home is truly one-of-a-kind and guarantees an unforgettable getaway in Northern California.
