About this space

Our home is a Victorian farmhouse on 7 acres in an apple orchard with a redwood grove, a pond, and barns. The main house, built in 1910 and remodeled in 1996, is surrounded by an English garden and is on a quiet country lane. The upstairs is a lovely private suite with a private entrance. We book to only one party at a time (read full description) and the home is fully air conditioned. I am a professional artist and Al is an author of children's books. Come visit our little piece of heaven!

The space

The entire upstairs is a private suite with a private entrance. One or both large bedrooms and a full bathroom are available. We host only ONE party at a time. Children under 5 are free. Each bedroom is quite spacious and there is a separate sitting area with a mini frig, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave and a small kitchen table for eating or using as a desk space.

We provide a welcome basket your first morning to get you started and sometimes apples from our trees when in season! Coffee, tea, and juice are available all day long. Our laundry area and an ironing board are available if you should need them and there is a bathtub downstairs.

Also, for your information, our home and property are also available for weddings (ceremony only). Please inquire for pricing.

Guest access

"The Hollies" is named for a holly tree in our front yard. We love the branches at Christmastime! You can walk the seven acre property, the quiet country lane, and visit our redwood grove. There are several areas for a picnic, including a lovely grape arbor. Our pond is not fenced so care with children is advised and there is no barn access without the host. There are also many other lovely places to walk and children love to see the occasional deer or the cows in the pasture nearby. Relax on the porch in the evening and on a clear night there are so many stars! City dwellers love it here!
Other things to note
This property was at one time a working farm so please be careful on walks.

Step back in time to 1924, when this charming home first came to life as the community church in the heart of Camp Meeker. Back then, San Francisco weekenders would escape the city, riding the railroad up to this serene redwood retreat. The soaring original vaulted ceilings and shiplap walls hint at its original purpose. Today, this former place of worship has transformed into a haven for our guests—a sanctuary where comfort meets the majestic beauty of the surrounding redwoods and nature.

Situated in the tranquil redwoods of Camp Meeker, CA, our spacious 1,600-square-foot ranch-style retreat offers the perfect escape for those seeking an extended stay in Sonoma County. The open concept layout is designed for comfort and ease, featuring a large living area that is bathed in natural light. Here, you'll find comfortable seating perfect for curling up with a good book or enjoying a game night with friends. After a day spent exploring the nearby river and coast, unwind on the couch while taking in the serene forest view or catching up on your favorite shows on the smart flat-screen TV.

The dining area provides an inviting space to enjoy your meals, whether you're savoring takeout from one of the nearby towns or a home-cooked feast prepared in the fully equipped, freshly renovated kitchen. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting new granite countertops, modern appliances—including a dishwasher, range, and oven—as well as all the cookware and utensils you need to whip up something delicious.

Designed with comfort in mind, the two bedrooms offer a peaceful sanctuary for rest and relaxation. Each bedroom features plush beds with high-quality linens and ample storage space, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The well-appointed bathroom is stocked with fresh towels and essential toiletries, so you can feel pampered throughout your stay.

This retreat is ideally suited for travel healthcare professionals, digital nomads, and anyone looking to escape to wine country. A dedicated office workspace allows you to stay productive in a serene environment, while a private washer and dryer add to the convenience of long-term living.
