  Having once lived in the Bay Area for 20 years, returning to this bit of respite is breath of fresh air. It's the kind of rustic Northern California homestyle I love, and I fear that it's fading with time. The area was quiet, the fact that cars are kept away from the living spaces is one of the reasons I love Sea Ranch, since my first visit in the early 90s. A great getaway.

  This was my second year vacationing at Troll House. It's perfect, it fits my personality, and I feel at home there. Pictures and description are accurate, however the atmosphere of Sea Ranch cannot be accurately described, it must be experienced. Management is awesome, friendly, and helpful. Special shout out to Sarah at Sea Ranch who saved me last year when I forgot my pillow, and again this year when I forgot something else! I will return again, and again, and again.

  The description of this property was totally accurate. It is a charming house, with a very 'homey' feel. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. It is stocked with everything you need as far as kitchen items, towels, etc. The pictures and knick knacks around house are charming! The tree coming up through the porch is so cool!
  Making reservations was easy, and check in a breeze. Kara was welcoming, super friendly, and gave us a few tips on where to go and how to get there. I could not have asked for more. I will be returning to Sea Ranch very soon!

  We've stayed here many times, and always enjoy it. The redwood cabins are probably our favorite spot in Sea Ranch.
  
  My only complaint (a minor one) would be: it would be really nice to have a retractible shade installed over the skylights in the bedroom. During the summer especially, those skylights are like a fesnel lens and the bedroom ends up being 20+ degrees hotter than the rest of the house.
  
  One of the other redwood cabins we used to stay in has one of those, and it works very well.

  We loved the casual homey family vibe of the cabin. It is very simple, barebones, but with cozy blankets and a great sound system. You feel as if you are perched in the trees. Plus, the walk-in cabins adds a camping vibe and makes you feel isolated and relaxed.

  We knew what this "cabin" would be like as we used to live at Sea Ranch.
  One must be prepared for a bit of a walk from the parking area (after dropping off your stuff), a flight of stairs. The house was cozy..wood burning stove, comfortable furniture. It would benefit from being less cluttered. The best feature is the 2 huge skylights over the bed...stargazing ! We were able to get 3 nights for the price of 2..a good deal! Yes, we will return.

  Josh H from Chicago, IL recommends this vacation rental

  My girlfriend and I needed to get out of the city and experience some fresh air and nature, so we decided to visit northern California. The Sea Ranch is exactly the type of place we were looking for and the Troll cabin gave us a cozy place to relax. Honestly, it's the type of Cabin I would love to own someday. However, my decorating style would be much different. When we arrived at the cabin we then understood why it's called the "Troll". It's decorated with small figurines and dolls throughout. The artwork in general didn't have any real consistent theme, except maybe for "travel". But we're easy going, laid back people, so the strange decorating style didn't bother us too much.
  
  We didn't arrive in The Sea Ranch until after The Sea Ranch Escape rental office closed, so they conveniently have a lock box that they'll put your welcome packet and keys in for you to pick up after hours. The same went for checkout. We needed to leave before the office opened, so we were able to simply put the welcome packet and keys back in the lock box.
  
  The cabin itself is a 10min walk down to the nearest, small beach on the coast. We went to that same beach twice and both times were the only people there.
  
  The Sea Ranch itself doesn't have a grocery store or any restaurants, but the next town north, Gualala, is only a 5-7 minute drive from the Troll cabin.
  
  I would 100% recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to have a quiet, relaxing vacation.

  We love visiting the Troll! We come to Sea Ranch every January/February and have stayed at this little spot a couple of times. It is just the right size for two people and super cozy! We always have a fire going, make lots of yummy food, and take hikes during the day. The bed is also extremely comfortable. That is one of the reasons we keep coming back to this home. You can lay in bed and see the stars through the sky light. It is truly magical!

  My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this nice little house in the woods. There are several great walking trails nearby. You must park your vehicle and walk to the cabin, which is easily done and adds to the exercise potential. The house itself is small and intimate, but has all the amenities you could want. The skylight over the bed is a wonderful touch. Through it you see not only sky but lovely trees as well.

Upon leaving you even provided me with a map so that I could take my favorite route back home. Thank you for the outstanding sea ranch experience!!!

  Megan T from Sacramento, CA recommends this vacation rental

  I wanted a place to get away from everything, a place where I could get away from the general noise and disruptions of city life. Going to the Troll House was the best decision I could have made. Situated in the trees, it was nice to able to see the stars, avoid the noise of the cars, have a cup of tea while watching the birds, or lay out in the hammock for a nap. Also, the paths in the area started right behind the cabin, so I never needed to use the car to get to the beach or deeper into the woods. Gualala is close enough if I still wanted a meal out or needed something from the store.
  For those who want a special experience, the chapel is quite a unique place to stop by and visit. The structure alone is indescribably different, you have to see it to understand.

The only problem we encountered was that we weren't able to hook our iPod up to the stereo or tv, but we had plenty of music to choose from on the tv music stations (or CD player and CDs provided).

  This home is really quiet, easily accessible, private, comfortable & fully equipped indoors and out. It is appropriate for a couple or 3 to 4 individuals separately if not over average size. Also for 1 or 2 youth, for sleeping, 2 single bunks, or for a couple & 2 younger kids - small double bunk space. It is off the stair landing between main floor and upper king sleeping loft...has rails on landing side. Homes in Sea Ranch are clustered in small & larger groups surrounded by common open space w/ trails, woods, ocean and road access to various points. If I could upgrade this home it would be for a regular instead of miniature size coffee maker - really, a no brainer. Compact efficient living, wood heat, deck, comfy tidy and you fit. Full kitchen except for coffee maker. Get outside and come home to relax....

The staff at Sea Ranch Escape was helpful and very professional. They answered our questions and when we arrived and the linens were not there they arranged for their pick up and did not charge us. It was a great four days. Thank you!

  We were looking for an escape from the regular hubbub. Troll House provided just that. The bedroom, with ceiling skylights, gave the feeling of being in a tree house.

  My stay at the troll cabin was delightful. My family had owned a similar cabin. Just a stone's throw away during my childhood, so I was familiar with the cabin's layout. It was just as charming and tranquil as I remember. It was my wife's first visit to the Sea Ranch and she fell in love with the place. We will definely be returning soon.

  We loved the Troll house! So close to the ocean and very quiet/peaceful at night! This walk in cabin is perfect for 2-3 people, and is worth the price. We loved the fact that no cars were parked near the cabins (although there was a stray car parked near us.. clearly breaking the rules). We will definitely come back!

  We were scrambling to find lodging for a wedding happening at the Lodge, and the groom suggested we check out SR Escapes.
  
  I found The Troll (it was just my fiance and myself) and have to say—we had the best spot of any of our friends at the wedding! The pictures don't lie—it was wonderful. We'd like to come back when we didn't have such a hectic event to deal with, as to try out the trails and other amenities.
  
  Nicely situated halfway between Gualala and the SR Lodge, it was s short trip to either destination. The BBQ place in Gualala has some pretty great food, too—that's coming from someone from The City, too!
  
  As a couple, you can't go wrong with The Troll, and I have to believe the larger units are just as nice.
  
  Lastly: the heard of sheep were the cherry on top.

  My Wife and I spent a very relaxing pre-Valentine's Day weekend at the Troll cabin, nestled in the majestic redwood forest with peekaboo ocean views and the roar of the ocean. The setting was pristine and the cabin had a cozy, rustic 70s flair. The stay also brought back childhood memories of my stays in my family's cabin, just a stone's throw from the Troll cabin. For the price of a hotel room, the setting of this cabin was a great bargain. I highly recommend it.

  We had our first stay in Sea Ranch over Memorial Day weekend. The house was clean and comfortable and filled with knickknacks. The location was quiet and relaxing. We loved the wood stove and used it every night. The king sized bed was comfortable, but the rocking chair and other furniture made the area a bit tight.
  
  It would have been nice to have been able to use the hammock which smelled like dog and I don't think it had been hung out in years. Comfortable outdoor furniture would be a great addition!

  My husband I stayed here for his birthday as a weekend getaway, where we met up with my mother who was staying nearby on a sister's reunion.
  
  The cabin is very nice and the bedroom skylight to the stars is definitely a huge plus. The area is a little cozy with a teeny kitchenette and loft-style bedroom, but on the upside it meant that the heaters warmed the place rather quickly.
  
  The cabin itself is also very open in terms of having a bunch of big picture windows out to the redwoods, and they're very clear - so clear in fact, that a bird slammed into the front sliding door on the first morning we were there! Luckily, the bird survived and eventually flew off.
  
  Overall, we loved the cabin and enjoyed the comfortable bed, the amazing skylight, and the general 'feel' of the place.
  
  The one downside that's more with the rental company than the cabin itself is that they charge a hefty cleaning deposit, and if you choose not to go with the deposit, the list of duties you must do upon check-out is kind of outrageous! Granted, your check-out time does get extended as well, and we went ahead and did them and got the full deposit back - but I've literally never stayed at a rental place up in this area (where I've stayed at many places for several years now) where the cleaning expectations were ridiculous and the refundable deposit was so high.
  
  Still, if you're responsible about your 'duties', I suppose it's worth it in the end.

  My boyfriend and I booked a last minute long weekend getaway at Troll House and we were very pleased with out stay! We did unfortunately arrive fairly late at night so it was a little challenging finding the property and not so fun walking from the parking spaces to the cabin in the dark(i suggest heading up before dark!). But once we settle in we were so pleased with such a quaint little spot to spend our weekend. The space is a great "no frills" cabin. Clean, perfect for two people, the fireplace is wonderful and the sky lights over the bed are beyond cool. I felt like our location was very central, we were within walking distance from the water and all of the beautiful walking paths along the coast and we were a short drive from Gualala where we visited several restaurants and the surf market grocery store. Overall we had a truly fantastic weekend and will definitely be visiting Sea Ranch again.

  Our only disappointment was upon arrival to realize several fuses were off/out (refrigerator, stove, microwave and heaters). Unfortunately we arrived late and it was dark and we could not locate the fuse box which was outside the house located on the back corner. We called maintenance and they came out to get us just took quite a bit longer than we planned to get settled in :( Otherwise our stay was great! We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the morning. What a beautiful and peaceful location. The skylight was great as well, but we don't recommend sleeping in too late or an afternoon nap as it gets very warm when the sun shines on you!

  Been to SR many times and it is always our favorite place to be. The mattress on the bed could use a serious upgrade-it is firm but gave both of us back pain in the am. Negotiating the stairs is fairly dicey in the dark of night.
  Front door. huge skylight, wood=burning stove, deck and wonderful hammock(my wife did not put up until our last day but what a wonderfully restful last day she had after). Couch is too dam short. Plunger for toilet is inadequate and parts inside the tank were put together in a mickey mouse faxhioin using a paperclip rather than a real plumbing item. the handyman that came to assist us was wonderful and professional. Lastly, two smoke alarms went off almost simultaneously about 3:30 am on our last night and were very difficult to access safely to turn them off.

  Magali and Sam A from San Francisco, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Overall, we had a great time. A few improvements could have made it even better:
  
  1. The instructions provided in the office lockbox said to turn from Hwy 1 onto White Fir road, when in fact the turn is onto Pine Meadow road. The map included with the instructions cleared things up, but it confused us for a few minutes. May be helpful to correct the instructions.
  
  2. When we arrived at the house on Redwood Rise, it took 10 minutes to figure out which house it was. All the other houses on the cul-de-sac had address numbers attached to wooden posts along the side of the road; only Troll House did not have one of these. So we had to get out of the car and hunt around with flashlights until we figured out which house was Troll House. The next morning when it was light outside it was easy to tell which was Troll House because the address number is posted on the house itself; but at night when it was dark the house number was impossible to see because it was far above the reach of our car's headlights. So we'd suggest putting another house number on the wooden posts by the road in front of Troll House (i.e. like all the other houses have), so that it's easy to tell which is the correct house if you're arriving at night.
  
  3. Some jerk decided to throw eggs at our car on the evening of Sun 9/2/12. Actually, they threw eggs at all the cars parked in the walk-in parking lots on Madrone Meadow road. It took some time to clean the eggs off. Luckily, it seems that no permanent damage was done to our paint, but it did leave a bad taste in our mouths.

  The walk-in part made me nervous, but it turned out to be very safe to do alone both day and night and short enough to not discourage me from adventuring out and about. I was even able to walk down to the beach to watch the sunset. It was quite dusty, though. Dust allergies beware!
