Since 2001, Sequoia Beach Dreamery has been a Premier Host delighting guests who want to reconnect with nature and a loved one.

Now in 2026, the owners are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of hosting with special offers that invite you to breathe deeper and linger longer.
A SERENE CREEK-FRONT RETREAT
The roar of the Pacific Ocean is a short drive away; but here, the music is the gentle flow of Big Austin Creek. The half-acre of privacy overlooks a sandbar beach on the year-round creek, offering a serene natural setting that feels worlds away from the everyday. This eco-adventure paradise is a haven for wildlife; keep your binoculars ready for protected steelhead salmon, giant blue herons, kingfishers, egrets, ducks, and the occasional playful river otter.

We loved our 4 night stay among the towering redwoods on the creek. Very peaceful and relatively private. Hot tub was good, but a little too hot for our liking. The house was clean and and had a very calm, no stress feeling to it. Highly recommend a stay here for those looking to get away and relax.
We loved our repite on the creek! The location and property was very romantic and serene... all details were thought of. We hope to book for next year's anniversary as well.
Just got home after a 4-day getaway to The Dreamery. This tucked away cabin is a delightful escape from the busyness of life! Very clean, had all the essentials to make our stay perfect. Loved relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the beauty of the Redwoods with only a short drive to the coast. We already look forward to a return trip to The Dreamery.
We had a great stay. Had a blast hiking, birding, and enjoying nature in the region! Very cozy, beautiful home and location. Would book there again for sure!
A return stay for us, we adore the property - so charming, comfortable, clean, and the location is top notch. We love the quiet, surrounded by trees and steps out into a lovely outdoor hot tub; a few more steps to the gentle creek. We'll surely go back again!
This place was absolutely amazing. The river was stunning as the backdrop and the spa was always nice to soak in at the end of the day. Even with all the rain we got the place was wonderful to relax in by the fire watching movies. I’ll be back!
This was my 3rd stay at the Dreamery - which speaks for itself. I love this place and it feels like home. A great vibe, location, comfy beds, beautiful setting…I’m certain there will be a 4th stay.
This was a super relaxing oasis of peace. The attention to detail was amazing! Lots of special and thoughtful touches! We loved the outdoor shower, bird watching on the deck and the wonderful zen garden!
The home and property were just as described—perfect for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. All information was provided beforehand, and there was consistent, helpful communication throughout our stay. Plenty of food and supply options are within a 20-minute drive. The birdseed was such a cute idea—we loved feeding the little chickadees (who were not afraid of getting close to us!). Thanks for a great stay!
My wife and I got away here for a weekend celebrating our anniversary. The place has a lot of genuine character! I can't put in words the serenity and peacefulness that you will feel at this place and there are many surprised all the way through the house. Explore their unique CD collection, make sure you take the walk to the nearby falls. If the water is warm, the river would be great to take a dip in! The hot tub set in between the redwoods is beyond compare.
I don’t want to leave five stars for fear that more people will book this place, realize as we did how amazing it is, and then we won’t be able to return as often as we’d like. However, we must leave the appropriate rating and that rating is superb! This place was exactly as advertised. Such a wonderfully tranquil place to unplug and unwind. We will certainly be back.
My husband and I stayed 3 peaceful nights for my birthday. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Both the property mgmt and owner were communicative, accommodating and kind. The home is warm, comfortable and inviting. Everything we needed was there. We can’t wait to return. I understand now why there are so many 5 star reviews!
I had never been to Austin Creek before (Cazadero) but it was just what I needed to decompress and spend 4 days under the redwoods, soaking in cool spring waters, enjoying good company and the search for river rocks with the sun on my back. This gem of a sweet peaceful Zen cabin and surrounding Japanese garden and ample deck made us feel right at home. With Austin Creek right there to experience in early morning, bright afternoon and quiet evening! The cabin home is perfect. So clean, so cared for, lovely touches and all you could need to feel comfortable. An amazing shower inside and lovely hot tub under the trees outside. Just the sweetest experience. I look forward to coming back.
The Japanese elements were much appreciated and made my wife nostalgic for the Japan she grew up in as a girl. It is a wonderful place and appreciate all the thought of the elements, decor and beauty of the setting. Some noise down the creek from neighbors kids but attribute that just getting out of school and not a regular thing.
Convenient to town and the Jenner Beaches.
Overall 5 stars.
We had such a wonderful and relaxing time. The day we got there and the day after were sunny so we spent a lot of time right by (and me in) the water. The day after was overcast and perfect for some indoor relaxation by the fire place. The cabin had everything we needed. The owner and his team are super responsive and the attention to detail with their decor and personal touches are something to write home about, which I did. I should not forget to mention the outdoor shower, the hottub with its' spectacular view and the fantastic deck...or the ducks that visited "our" shore every day. All in all, highly recommended!
I’m almost speechless at the natural beauty of the property.
Every last bit of our stay was delightful.
An immersive sanctuary of nature and comfort.
Birds, fish, the smell of the trees and sound of the creek.
The home itself was comfortable at every turn. We wanted for nothing. It’s a giant hug with a view to die for.
You are close to a wonderful general store as well as an amazing bakery.
10/10 booking our next stay!
What a stunning piece of heaven on earth. Such a sweet cabin with such attention to detail. It was clean, cozy and well stocked. We actually loved listening to the cassette tapes and sitting on the deck watching the birds. So quiet and serene there. The new bathroom was lovely and the gardens were stunning. My husband and I had such a great retreat time together for our anniversary. I highly recommend and hope to come back!
I don't want to have to compete with others to get to stay here. I've visited here for maybe 20 years, on and off. I want to keep it a secret, like a good restaurant. I will say this: ancient trees, silence, a creek that seems still, baby, translucent trout, greedy jays,stones of every shape and size.
We chose the Dreamery because of the Hot Tub and Outdoor shower! Love it! But there's more! Thank you for the nice bottle of wine Andrew! Plus the nice deck, the rocks and heart rocks, The Kissing Tree, Giant Redwoods, great View of Austin Creek, delicious spring water from Pole Mountain, ALEXA, great TV, lots of movies and books, and the SHOWER, the best! cozy and comfy beds, the fireplace and trips to Gualala to Trinks and to Occidental for lunch at The Altamont. Oh and we loved playing backgammon and Gin Rummy at the table by the creek! Thanks Mucho!
I have been raving about this stay in Cazadero every day since we left. My partner and I wanted a long weekend away from the hustle of everyday life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better house or a better host. The property is so tranquil but also equipped with everything we needed. I had to use the wi-fi for some conference calls with work, and it was super fast. We honestly spent most of our days out on the deck or sitting near the creek. We absolutely loved our stay and have been looking for dates on when we can come back. Thank you so much for such a great weekend!
We had a wonderful stay over Christmas! The weather was a bit chilly so we really enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace! And we were happy to see a couple of Christmas decorations in the living area!
It was a short drive to the coast where there had been some major off-shore storms creating tremendous waves! So fun to watch! The back road to Fort Ross was a great drive!
We had a major rainstorm one day and the creek rose about three feet - nice to watch!
Thanks for a great stay!
