Rugged Coastline meets Solitude
Whether looking to explore the Sonoma coast by land or sea, or simply retreating from the daily grind, the Driftwood Lodge is where California’s pristine coastline meets Redwood forest. Hear crashing waves and barking seals, watch whales and dolphins from every room, and smell the pine and redwood forest air. The Driftwood Lodge is where life hits “pause.”
5 Boutique Studio Units On-Site
Built as a “micro hotel” consisting of 5 individual 1-bed, 1-bath units each with a king bed, propane wall heater, wood-burning fireplace, TV, DVD player and wet bar with refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. All rooms have ocean views, 4 rooms have a private patio and 3 rooms have a jetted jacuzzi tub and sauna. 
Oceanview Meadow
The 1.5-acre meadow and patio overlook Highway 1 providing 180-degree views of crashing waves, stunning sunsets, and spectacular night sky views. Stay warm in the hot tub, relax by the fire pit, or grill on the propane BBQ while enjoying lawn games and watching the birds among the redwoods. 
Redwood Forest + Creek
Explore the private trails in a 25-acre redwood forest.  Hunt for mushrooms, smell the rich pines and moss, and forest-bathe in complete solitude. Follow the trail to Fort Ross Creek, a year-round stream. And for the adventurous, hike along the creek for a half mile to reach the beach at Kolmer Gulch. 
Connect with Friends & Family
The Lodge is designed for sharing, connecting and creating lifelong memories. Play board games, throw frisbees, or snuggle by the fire while enjoying a movie. There are endless opportunities to bond and experience nature while relaxing with those you love.
Work + Play
The lodge provides the opportunity for work, play, and privacy. With Starlink Wi-Fi at the Lodge and the Barn, the property has numerous private and communal spaces for kids to play or professionals to work in privacy.  
Event Barn
Our 2-story barn is the perfect venue for your next wedding, celebration or corporate offsite retreat.  This 3,000 square foot space is a blank palette for your creative imagination, ready to be transformed into your dream event. 
Year-Round Creek
A winding private trail network winds through 25 secluded acres of old-growth and second-growth redwoods, descending into a fern-draped canyon to our year-round freshwater creek. Listen to babbling water, practice forest bathing,
Outdoor Hot tub
Soak away the evening under towering redwoods and crystal-clear coastal night skies. Our expansive outdoor hydrotherapy hot tub is positioned to capture forest breezes and the distant crash of the Pacific, complemented by handcrafted cedar soaking barrels and private ensuite jacuzzis in select suites.
