Unique private access studio with outdoor spa in paradise.

Hilltop Retreat on 13 Wooded Acres | Stars, Spa, and Solitude

Just 22 miles north of San Francisco, perched atop a private ridge in tranquil Nicasio, this spacious guest studio (tucked below the main house) offers one of the Bay Area’s most secluded and soul-nourishing getaways. Surrounded by forest and dark night skies, it’s a sanctuary of stillness—with excellent WiFi and cell service when you need to plug in.

A scenic, one-mile paved drive (windy and a little bumpy) leads you to our forested retreat. Down 24 steps from the unit, you'll find a serene outdoor spa area with a hot tub under the stars, outdoor shower, cold plunge, and a seasonal fire pit (lit by host). A sauna is available by reservation for an additional fee.

Inside, you’ll find designer furnishings, high-end linens, a new Casper memory foam mattress, down comforter, and carefully curated art. The spacious studio has its own entrance, private deck, and a functional workspace with excellent WiFi.

Guest Access

Ample parking and easy access—just 25 minutes from the nearest downtown. You’ll feel a world away, yet not far from everything.

Good to Know
Our property is peaceful, but occasional ambient noise from the main house is possible.

The studio is ideal for two. For a small fee, we can add a rollaway bed and linens for a child or third guest. Please request and confirm in advance so our cleaners are prepared.

Early check-in or late check-out (up to 2 hours) may be available for $25. Please ask and we’ll coordinate with the cleaning team.

We respect that guests come here to rest, reflect, and reconnect—and we honor that with care and quiet.
