“Occidental hidden gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Wow-
We have discovered the perfect hidden getaway. We traveled to Occidental to experience the Sonoma Canopy Zipline Tour. Occidental lodging is limited so we were thrilled to discover the Occidental guest house Trees Property. The house is nestled in the redwoods, and decorated in a very Ralph Lauren style. An amazing terrace to watch sunsets, and it has a rocking juke box! The house includes complimentary wine and bruschetta at the Union Hotel Restaraunt, it was wonderful and we ended up dining on the clam chowder. We woke up to deer looking in at us through the windows. An amazing experience. We are definitely returning.

“Country living”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2010

We stayed in the studio not the main house. Both may be rented. Close to town but quiet. You feel like you're really out in the country. Arrived to find a good bottle of wine waiting for us. Really enjoyed the huge sunny deck. Up on a hill so nice views of the river valley below. Listen to the birds in the trees nearby and watch the vultures swoop so close! Short walk to town where we ate breakfast at Howard Station Cafe both mornings!
http://www.howardstationcafe.com Clean. Good bed. Lots of towels and pillows. Not fancy but very comfortable. Excellent road bicycle riding right from the door. Coleman Valley Rd. is a popular local route out to the coast. Very few cars on it even on the weekend. Sonoma and Marin counties have many paved country roads with little auto traffic.

Cons: these are all fixable if the proprietor should decide to do so. Address not displayed at street entrance. After driving around for awhile, had to go back to town to ask how to get there. No hair dryer. Shower head low (I'm only 5'6" and had to crouch to wash hair). This can be fixed by installing a hand held shower head and mounting it higher. No tissues. No mirror except in the bathroom. (Most women appreciate another mirror while sweetie is in the bathroom) No hooks in bathroom for toiletries bag. Although clean due to being new, comforter on bed is not enclosed in a duvet cover. This is unsanitary. Suggestion: Would be nice if could walk to town without being on Occidental road.
