The fog. The glass. The Pacific below.
A light-filled house where the redwoods meet the sea, held for one retreat at a time. The quiet season — when the coast empties and the light is best — is when it's at its finest.

One group on the headland. Always.

“We came in the off-season on a hunch. The fog rolled in every afternoon, the house went quiet, and not one of our guests wanted to leave. We've held the same week two years running.”
Glass on three sides, the Pacific on all of them.
The great room at midday; the deck cantilevered over the surf; the house low on its bluff — and the sea glass from Glass Beach, ten minutes north, whose frosted greens and ambers the whole house is color-matched to.
A single-level house of glass and weathered timber, built low to the bluff so the ocean is never out of view. The great room opens onto a deck cantilevered above the surf; the bedrooms tuck back into the cypress for quiet. Held for one retreat at a time — the house, and the headland, are yours alone.
The palette comes off the beach. A century of surf has tumbled the old glass at Fort Bragg into frosted greens, aquas, and ambers — and those are the colors inside the house: the linens, the studio cushions, the ceramics on the long table. Guests tend to notice on day two.
Room for fourteen — gathered, or apart.
A century of surf turned Fort Bragg's old glass to frosted aqua, sea-green, amber — and one rare lilac. Glass Beach, ten minutes north, named every color in this house.
The fog comes in low over the stacks, and the day slows down to meet it.

The coast keeps its own calendar.
Hosts come for the long light of summer and the harvest gold of autumn. But the secret is the quiet season — when the crowds thin and the coast turns inward, the headland is yours alone. The house is always a private buyout; in winter, so is the whole coast. We make those weeks stay just as booked.
A headland to yourselves — and a county worth the drive.
Forty private acres of bluff and cypress, with the surf on three sides and a single drive in. From above you can see why one group at a time is the only way the place makes sense — there is no next door here.
Whole-property buyout, always. Four days run Thursday to Sunday; the seven-day residency, Saturday to Saturday. Quiet-season stays (Nov–Mar) priced lower — every booking includes the full house, the deck, linens, and a welcome provisioning.
Twice a year, the next season's dates.
One letter when a season opens. The quiet-season weeks go to this list before they reach the calendar. Nothing else, ever.
