20 SONOMA COAST GETAWAYS

we spent some time up in northern california this past week and WOW was it pretty! the drive up the sonoma coast is incredible, the redwood trees are giant and amazing, and the architecture in sea ranch is just plain cool. I would say my favorite getaway has a fire place, lots of cooking, music, relaxing, wine, and nature. we took the 9 hour drive up, and stayed at this lodge about half way and then ended up at the cabin in sea ranch shown above (airbnb here)

i rounded up 20 adorable airbnbs to stay along the coast if you and your family are looking for some time in nature. some are surrounded by trees and some have ocean views…take your pick!

2. love this little beauty with the green trim and the stunning view from the porch!

3. the views! the fireplace! the hot tub! this house looks like the perfect place to spend a few days relaxing and taking in the ocean view.

4. this stunning cabin is the perfect spot if you’re looking to be tucked in the trees.

5. this house is the perfect mix of woodsy with the tress and ocean with those views. and they allow dogs which can be hard to find in rentals!

6. if you’re looking for a spot for a group trip, this is it. sleeps 10, is right on the russian river and has stellar reviews.

7. the perfect fall escape. the reviews make me want to book right now and they have high speed internet which makes it an ideal work from home spot.

8. WOW. a bucket list spot. the views are breathtaking and the pool on the cliff puts this one over the top.

9. this one and the one above are both in Jenner which is a very cute town about 1.5 hours outside San Fran. very charming and scenic!

10. we could all probably use a few days to step away from the news and back into nature. this little spot will do the trick.

11. find 5 friends and head to this gorgeous spot for your next milestone birthday! a big celebratory dinner on that patio would be a dream.

12. are you overwhelmed with options yet?! i love all the wood detailing in this place and those cozy built in benches by the fire.

SEE ALL OF THE HOUSES AFTER THE JUMP….

13. i was sold at the private hot tub over looking the ocean, what a special spot! i love those bunk beds for a friend sleepover.

14. a treehouse with ocean views! how sweet are the circle windows?

15. you can feel how peaceful this spot is just by looking through the photos. lots of places to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine.

16. this home is located in a seaside village that gives you the perfect setting to slow down for a few days and enjoy the simple things in life.

17. another home with a perfect ocean view!

18. love the modern touches in this cool barn. in a perfect location for exploring all the local beaches!

19. this large home is on 50 aches which gives you plenty to explore before coming back to that kitchen and cooking up a big meal to serve on the porch. would be a fun family reunion spot!
