Description

Blackberry Bliss is a tranquil, romantic, and well-appointed vintage cabin on the banks of lovely Austin Creek - a setting of breathtaking beauty. Built in 1954 and lovingly restored and updated, the house features a private creekside beach and sunny, level backyard meadow. Blackberry Bliss's 1,000 sq ft redwood deck includes a private outdoor hot tub, custom oversized redwood chaise lounges, dining bistro, and additional seating delivers views of the creek, yard, flowers, and trees, including the majestic redwoods. At night, you'll rejoice in the privacy of magical moon and star-filled nights.

Inside, you’ll find vaulted open wood beamed ceilings, French doors that seamlessly bring the outdoors in, custom finished redwood detailing, and live-edge pass through bar. Blackberry Bliss is artistically furnished including an eclectic collection of both local and international art and artifacts.

Blackberry Bliss is minutes from Guerneville, the Sonoma Coast/beaches, and nearby historic Russian River towns, including Duncan's Mills, Jenner, and Bodega Bay - with great restaurants, wine tasting, golf, and fun shopping.

star-gazing in the hot tub

This was exactly the escape that we were looking for - from having coffee in the morning with the hummingbirds on the deck to star-gazing in the hot tub at night- it was a wonderful stay! -via Airbnb

What a stunning place and cozy cabin. The hummingbirds flitting around all day were just such fun to watch. It is pretty quiet but the neighbors are close and I could hear them talking and laughing quite a bit which is fine but I really love the quiet of nature. Overall though, the yard is big and the creek is magical. The cabin had such a magical vibe. I'd definitely stay again. -via Airbnb

Hello Emily, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you so much for your review and for being wonderful guests- you're welcome back anytime :)

Beautiful location on Austin Creek

Reviewed on 2024-08-20 by Nelson

Beautiful location on Austin Creek and underneath the Redwoods. Close to Guerneville, Duncan Mills, the Coast. Well-stocked kitchen. Beautiful deck and private beach area on creek. Expansive, sunny lawn. Home itself is functional, with issues: because it’s right under redwoods it’s cold and dark all day; dining area is small, dark, and cold in what should be the entry foyer; the decor is excessively cluttered and dated; main issue was the too much too soft, too lumpy beds. We had terrible nights’ sleep and were tired most of our stay because of it. The management company was extremely responsive and sensitive to our concerns but in the end, they couldn’t exactly provide new mattresses on the spot. -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Nelson, We are sorry you had issues with the beds at the home. The owner did get a new mattress topper to firm up the king bed as the other topper was found to be lumpy. The home gets a good amount of sun during the day but by the afternoon is shaded which is quite nice in the summer months! Especially without air conditioning. We thank you for being such wonderful guests and would love to host you again, perhaps at another home.

The property is well represented by the photos. I agree with every positive review. It is very quiet and peaceful, aside from the whir of the hummingbird wings! My only issue is the yard is not fenced. This may not be a problem if you aren't visiting with dogs as I was. -via Vrbo

Such a charming, peaceful oasis! Nestled in the redwoods, quiet and private, swarming with sweet little hummingbirds, we soaked in the hot tub every night and found a great swimming hole down the creek!! This place was so serene, it was truly hard to leave. Great little spots to shop down the way in Duncans Mills. Thank you so much for this experience, we will definitely be returning to Blackberry Bliss -via Airbnb

extremely charming and comfortable

We booked this cabin for a weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary. It's extremely charming and comfortable, in a beautiful setting surrounded by redwood trees. We especially liked the large deck and yard overlooking a stream, the quiet neighborhood, the wood burning stove, the reliable internet, and the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked and management is very responsive (though be advised that AT&T cell service doesn't work out here). We would suggest some improvements: 1) The main (king) bedroom doesn't have a door to block it from the living room, so be aware that there's a potential lack of privacy, as well as a lot of light. We also found the bed uncomfortable, as it was very soft and had pronounced lumps and body indentations. 2) If you prefer a dark room for sleeping, bring an eye mask—some windows don't have coverings. 3) The second (queen) bedroom had a better (if still soft) bed, but it was covered with dog hair on our visit. Overall, a good place though! -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Jason, Thank you for your review and for the suggestions! We have forwarded these items to the homeowner and our maintenance team for review. We are so sorry about the dog hair in one of the beds and appreciate you bringing it to our attention the moment you found it so we could contact the cleaner. We thank you for being communicative and overall amazing guests. We hope to have a chance to impress you in the future!

We spent a week in December at Blackberry Cabin and could not have been happier with our choice. The cabin was clean, and comfortable and provided all the necessities. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the amazing Redwoods and hot tub. The hummingbirds were quite entertaining! We grilled out every night, then cozied up in front of the wood fireplace.

We had a lovely stay! Right away, we noticed the swarm of hummingbirds that danced and fought over the feeders. Was fascinating. The creek is accessible and we spent some time hiking up the creek until we found the road again. This place is situated just right so that the afternoon sun hits the deck. It's an ideal spot for a double couple get-away or maybe a small family. Kitchen was well stocked and pleasant to use. Plenty of options for climate control if you want to be cozy. The hot tub was perfect and easy to operate. There were what looked like mosquitos outside but we never got bit. A very serene and quiet place that we would definitely revisit.-via Vrbo

We had a great weekend at this cabin. The location was easy to find, and a short drive to larger surrounding cities for additional food/drink/sights. We were allowed to arrive early, the cabin was clean, we felt secure, and the gated back deck was a huge plus with our dogs! The cabin is magical at night with the wood stove burning, and stars in the huge backyard space. The creek in the back was perfect for letting the dogs run around. I got engaged in this cabin and it will forever have a piece of my heart. Thank you for having us-via Vrbo

We do lots of traveling with our little pups - this place was HANDS DOWN the best ever. I almost don't want to leave a review in case it gets too booked up. We go to the Russian River area often but this was first time in Cazadero. We didn't want to leave the house- the deck(s), the view(s), the 360 degree redwood trees, the sound of the creek, and the hummingbirds dive bombing us, made us feel like we had found a piece of heaven. Our dogs didn't want to leave. We had to grab them by the collar to get them back in the car.

This place was truly a dream. We kept saying how incredible the view was and could not get over the beauty. We noticed the many little details put in that make the place feel like home and so inviting. We seriously could live there. The jacuzzi, both fireplaces... the incredible desk... this is the best vacation cabin we have ever been to hands down and we have been to a lot! We never return to the same cabin but we can not wait to book this one again and are telling everyone who will listen! Everything was so clean and comfy. The view was incredible even on the days we were rained in. The creek access was gorgeous and so crisp! The walk around the property is beautiful and breathtaking. We could not believe that was our view for the whole week. OMG, it was truly amazing. A little slice of heaven and truly pure bliss. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous vacation home with us. If you are on the fence at all about booking this place, do not hesitate and book it now! We'll be back-via Airbnb

Blackberry Bliss has been a favorite getaway for over 5 years now. This cabin is nestled in a beautiful location, with access to Austin Creek, and surrounded by gorgeous redwoods. It's a great place for a romantic getaway or for a small family to enjoy quiet, peaceful time communing in nature, and away from the hustle of city life. The grounds are immaculate, the cabin is very well decorated and very cozy. It's by far our favorite place in Cazadero and we look forward to many more visits in the future.-via Airbnb

What an amazing little gem! The house was clean, cozy, well maintained and I can't even describe the location. We were worried about being flooded out with the not stop rain we have had but the weather was so beautiful while we were there. We got to do a little "faux" fishing, walk with our fur-babies and even got a little sun kissed on Friday.

This is a beautiful little house in the woods with direct river access (Austin Creek) from the backyard. Unfortunately it rained for our entire stay and the first night we even lost power because of the storm in the area. We realized that if you lose power you also lose water as the water pump needs electricity to run. There is also no cell phone reception either so we had to drive to Guerneville to be able to place calls. Without running water we considered to pack our things and head back home but luckily power and water came back at around 4pm that day. It kept raining throughout our stay but the house kept us cozy and warm. We were able to take some short walks outdoors and the place is beautiful. I could tell how amazing this place would be if we had better luck with the weather. Even with our trouble with the storm we enjoyed our stay! If you are looking for a quiet private getaway in the woods I highly recommend this place.-via VRBO

Hello Goro, Thank you for being wonderful guests and rolling with the power outage! With heavy rains and wind it can happen anywhere in this county, especially during the winter.

Wow! This place is so amazing. The cabin is nestled in a redwood forest like it’s plopped down right into a state park. So many hummingbirds zooming around all day, dappled sunlight through the trees, and plenty of stars at night…it was like a fairytale. Everything we needed was provided for in this rental from the well supplied kitchen, firewood for the wood stove, the relaxing well maintained hut tub down to the doggy blankets and toys provided for our pups. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. As soon as we walked into this cozy little cabin we knew it was well cared for by management and treasured by all its visitors.

We spent hours and hours soaking up the magic of this calm retreat. Close to wineries and the fun town of Guerneville, and we had no idea until we left to drive up the coast, it is surprisingly close to the ocean. Every amenity you could ever want. Our mornings were spent fascinated by all of the hummingbirds feeding on the back deck.

4th vacation rental in Cazadero and one of the best

We (hubby & wife) had a wonderful 9 day stay. This is our 4th vacation rental in Cazadero and one of the best. What differentiates a good vacation rental from an amazing vacation rental - the small things. This place covered all the big things perfectly: clean, represented accurately, good communication, well stocked, etc. But what took it above and beyond were things like the wonderful linens - both towels and bed sheets; the sharp knives (oh how we hate dull knives); non stick pans that are actually non stick; a robust wifi that allowed us both to work (both of us have an abundance of online meetings); and clear instructions placed around the home. It’s these little things that make staying in a home that’s not yours so much nicer. The pictures and description make you excited to go, the little things make you so happy you did.-via Airbnb
