Sanctuaire,Cazadero - Mountainside 2 STORY RETREAT, A SALT WATER POOL, JACUZZI

Nestled in the western Sonoma County highlands, just outside of the charming town of Cazadero. Sanctuaire is a serene mountainside villa of sweeping natural views, gardens and, forested hillsides, and native flora and fauna. With two master suites on different floors. In addition, to the Roman style swimming pool, conspicuously set as a center stage to witness the breathtaking 360 panorama of nature. Sanctuaire also features comfy outdoor decks, grilling areas and flagstone patios, all designed to optimize the stunning views that make Sanctuaire so memorable and so special. Kitchen is on the second story, and has great access to gas grill and picnic tables. There is a wood-stove, and propane fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, beautiful tile and flagstone work throughout with eclectic furnishings. Also, there is a wrap-around deck with outdoor dining and gas grill. There is a large flagstone patio with , Seasonal Solar-Heated Salt Swimming Pool
available May30th 2025-Oct 15~2025 . Jacuzzi with 65 jets , Loungers and a Pond, Gardens, and Fabulous Mountain Views. Also there is DSLWIFI. .. Sanctuaire offers many off site amenities such as being close to the Pacific Coastal Highway (PCHwy 1); a treasure trove to make any cyclist happy. World-Class Wine Tasting in the Great Russian River Appellation and 5 star Dining close by in Jenner.
Almost forgot~we have beautiful WARD CREEK FRONTAGE,with Good accessibility, with picnic table and loungers. Our pond in front of homesite, will serenade you with chattering frog life~
We have been around for over two decades~and feel that sharing this incredible beauty, with our guests~can offer peace and tranquility, for yourself, and us, your host's.
Again, thanks for considering Sanctuaire.
I would love to host everyone, BUT do not recommend Sanctuaire for handicap, though railings and pulls, there are steps, and uneven surfaces with the flagstone. Toddlers, also have a sense of adventure, and home and grounds are expansive and eclectic So I do not recommend, Sorry Though.

Peaceful and quiet, it is a true sanctuary to unwind and relax. Loved the warm private pool and hot tub with a lovely view. So comfortable with a big deck and porches to enjoy the view from many perspectives.The small pond was perfect and brought the sounds of frogs and beautiful drangonflies.Check-in was very easy and the kitchen had everything we needed. I was able to barbecue on the grill as well.I definitely would come back and recommend.

Marie worked closely with us. My reservation was a gift for my wife and our 45 anniversary.The house is beautifully decorated with furniture pieces from across the world. A path leads to a large wonderful saltwater indoor pool. The location is private and views of large pine trees.We spent 10 days there and left totally relaxed and recharged. I’ve used VRBO for years and this property is my number one choice. Anyone staying here will enjoy the peace and quiet. Sanctuary home is just that. Get in line, because this place is a gem that my Wife will return to for years

Paradise!

Words cannot describe how beautiful and serene this property is, along with one of the most attentive host you could ask for. Between the wonderful art work, stained glass and Tiffany lights the interior is nothing like you have experienced before. The acreage surrounding the property gives you a feeling of total seclusion, but help is there right away if you need it. The Pool and Jacuzzi are perfect and rare for the area. There is wonderful hiking along the 40+ acres and a Creek to relax by. I cannot express how much we loved the property and appreciated Marie the host. Take your time driving up the road, and you must bring plenty of supplies. Mainly because you might not want to leave! Thank you Marie!

A SLICE OF HEAVEN

If your looking to get away from the rat race of the city, this sanctuary is the place to be! The owner, Marie, was VERY accommodating to anything we needed and a gracious host. This 27 acres is nestled beautifully in Cazadero, with sprawling endless views of the magnificent forest surroundings. The salt water pool was very refreshing since we visited during a heat wave into the 100's. The hot tub was just as refreshing, especially for star gazing into the clear nights. The muscical chirping of the frogs from the pond at night just captivated the whimsical serenity of this gorgeous sanctuary. Our week stay was storybook picturesque. To be far I feel I need to share and remind folks you are in a forest and a good 30-40 minutes to a gas station or full grocery store. There is a small grocery/deli in Cazadero that had delicious homemade desserts and made fantastic sandwiches, and had various odds and ends to get by. Encountering critters of various sizes is just nature doing it's thing, whether inside or out. I feel it should also be noted that the sanctuary is decorated beautifully with endless ornate/antique furniture and Tiffany lamps, so definitely not appropriate for roaming hands of a toddler or mischief child to run, jump and play. Because our stay was during a heat wave the owner did her due diligence to try an cool the top portion of the home with various devices, but perhaps investing in an a/c unit would be more economical.

Mountain cabin sprinkled with fairy dust.

The pix don’t do justice. You feel like you are the last human on earth nestled in the trees with no one else in sight. Maria greeted us as we arrived. She had both wood stoves stoked and the little place was toasty. Although she has many wonderful lamps and antiques you don’t feel like you can’t relax and live in the home. The terra cotta tile floors are covered with lovely knotted rugs. The kitchen is snug but fully serviceable. We cooked braised ribs and made chili and soups etc with no issues. The fridge and freezer are large with plenty of space for snacks and leftovers. The tub has a lovely ambiance in the windowed nook. Soaked a bunch. The shower downstairs is lovely as well. The hot water seems endless and is very hot in kitchen so careful but squeaky cleaned pots are a breeze. Maria was gracious and very available for any issues but not uncomfortably around. We did puzzles and coloring etc on the ample dining table. I brought my Alexa and she provided music, news, timers and alarms if needed. The outside decks and their views are wonderful. The pool area is nice and private. Although the immediate area around the cottage is cleared you feel remote due to the oaks and conifers around. The only sign of civilization is the rare sound of a truck rumbling on the narrow street to the area. The deer pass through daily sometimes twice. The jays squawk while you have morning coffee. The sheer silence cleanses the mind before the bubble pops and you have to go home.

Magical !!!!

When I stepped foot into this Magical home at Sanctuaire I was transported into a world of creativity and excellence that the photos did not convey. I was pleasantly surprised around every corner. The first thing I notice was that the beautiful art deco Tiffany lamps all turned on and worked! Marie (the owner) had thought to put the same colored lightbulbs as the shades, making for a beautiful warm and inviting ambiance. Every piece of furniture is an antique and tastefully chosen to fit the decor. Some pieces are so large that I am sure the owner built the home around the furniture! We arrived in the heat of August's summer in Cazadero to a pristine blue pool, not a neighbor in site and so peaceful! My family joined my husband and I for a day and our dobermans had a lovely time scouting out the 29 acres of land! Marie is lovely and so very accessible without being seen, as she lives on the property. It was also a lovely easy stroll to the creek that she recommended. Another beautiful addition is the pond! A beautiful place to spend time with the Butterflies and Dragonflies. This is an Artist's paradise and I plan on returning with my watercolors for some peaceful relaxing days again in the future.

The home is a lovely eccentric gem! It is very comfortable with all amenities for your comfort. Love the upper deck with the view of the pool and spa with the barbecue in close proximity to the kitchen. The property is very quiet, private and serene! Walking down to the creek was a bonus! In the 100 degree weather in September the lower bedroom and bath was a plus!! The owner loves her home and was a beautiful lady to communicate with during our questions and concerns in booking. Recommend to all wanting an escape from the pressures of everyday life! Cindy Bollinger

Vacation Nightmare

What was to be a birthday vacation had to be cut. We were asked to arrive after 5:30 pm because the workers didn’t want to work in the heat. When we arrived around 8:00 we parked by a small pond filled with lily pads and LOTS of mosquitoes. Only one of the two doors facing the parking lot opened. The temperature in the house was unbearable and had to be over 100 degrees. In an attempt to cool it down we looked for windows or other doors to open. The only other door that opened was on the deck side. This made it impossible to get any breeze to cool the house. No windows at all to open for fresh air. We discovered a noisy ceiling blower in the upstairs that was circulating hot air and, dirty rags in the downstairs toilet and on the bathroom counter. After frantically searching we found the landline on the floor by the dining room table. We called and spoke with Marie who seemed unfazed by the dirty rags and noisy ceiling fan. She actually said that I could remove the dirty rags with a stick then gave directions on where to find the hidden switch to turn off the blower. It was outside in a closet by the bbq. Who would’ve known.. We decided to unpack the cooler and have something to eat however that was not in the cards as my husband notified me that there was a mouse running around on top of the stove. These are just some of the reasons we left the next morning. Cobwebs everywhere, doors that were locked and wouldn’t open, broken spa & convection oven.

The home (its decor and furnishings were super chill Victorian era to just lounge about in for you homebodies out there), grounds and views of the opposing hills were stunning. It was entirely peaceful and the stars at night are divine. Everything was functioning and operating as planned. The setup down at the creek was extremely serene. Bring bug spray and dont forget that you are truly spending time in the country when you see bats flying about. The host Maria was very helpful and always accesible. We will be back !
