Artist's Perch ~ Private Retreat owned by Artists, Stylish Attention to Detail

Artist's Perch is your comfy escape in the redwood trees. Gaze into Sequoias from every window and deck while refreshing your spirit. The fresh air and blanket of green "leaves" and blue skies are the perfect backdrop for this artist's home away from home. With the artist's original paintings throughout the home, guests will relax while cooking, playing board games and catching up on a good book. Cozy up and stream a movie on the flat-screen smart TV in the living room. Alexa devices in each bedroom and the living room, an Xbox for gaming and a stereo with Bose speakers keep the music flowing too. With a strong wifi signal and desk in the upstairs master suite in case you need to work, but we think you'll prefer soaking in the hot tub after a hike or bike ride.

Perfect for two couples or a family, Artist's Perch is an ideal home base to explore Sonoma County's famous wine county, craft breweries and outdoor adventures. An expansive deck off the kitchen includes a propane BBQ, dining and lounge areas to appreciate the fruits of your travels: locally grown produce, sustainably raised meats, and, of course, wine! Bring along the dog and kids - Artist's Perch is everyone-friendly!
