Great Stay

The Host, Mark & Family, are the kindest, sweetest Host we have ever had (and, we have stayed at over 50 VRBO's). Mark loves people....he brought over fresh pastries and sour dough bread every morning that he had baked at his bakery. The conversations we had were heart wirming!!

I held down the fort on my own this week, and had a lovely and comfortable stay. We booked for two weeks to have a place within easy walking distance of California Brazil Camp. Mark was a responsive and generous host, and his property is ideal.

A comfy bed and delicious breakfast treats

This home was in the perfect location for our getaway weekend. It had everything we needed and we slept very well in the quiet of the redwoods. And the best surprise was the daily morning delivery of delicious freshly baked goods and coffee.

Off the beaten path

The cabin was very comfortable and very rustic. It was further off the beaten path than we were expecting but the privacy was wonderful. We were gifted with fresh coffee beans and delicious bread/pastry through our whole stay. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Definitely worth the drive.

Nice getaway

My sisters and I got to the cottage on Friday night, just in time for pizza and live music at Raymonds Bakery! Great night. Mark invited us to his baked breakfast treats Saturday morning, delicious!! The cottage was just right size for myself and 2 sisters. We lovingly referred to the cottage as the "Crooked Cottage" as it has a bit of a slant to it when you're inside. A couple of suggestions would be to have a sign at the base of the hill to signify there are other cottages ahead. Also, perhaps a basic starter kit of condiments would be helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch admiring the redwoods. Great memories made :-)

An Outstanding Experience

Paradise Grove Cottage is a comfortable, rustic cottage in the heart of the redwoods. We felt right at home in the cozy cottage by the creek. The kitchen is stocked with whatever you might need to cook. The beds are comfortable, the linens are fresh and the gathering area is warm and inviting. The real surprise of our visit is the innkeeper, Mark Weiss. Mark is a warm, generous, and accomplished pastry chef who delivers warm breakfast pastries every morning with fresh, roasted coffee beans. The visit was full of surprises including a special pizza dinner for the guests and a dinner with live music on Friday with the locals. There is so much to do in the area from walks in the redwoods to a visit to Goat Rock beach. All the nearby towns offer unique shops for browsing. If you like to eat out, there are plenty of great restaurants a short drive away. We enjoyed just hanging out in the redwoods and relaxing. You are in for a real treat when you stay with Mark in Cazadero. Jessica

Excellent Getaway

From being greeted by Mark on the first day to receiving breakfast on check out day, our stay was perfect. Mark is a wonderful host. It felt like we were staying with him (with full privacy). The redwoods are beautiful and this rustic cabin fits in perfectly. It was warm and cosy with everything we needed in the kitchen, including a fairly new gas stove, so we were able to cook all our meals in. The fireplace made our evenings magical. We walked Goat Rock beach daily and it's just a short hop into town if you forget something. Can't say enough good things. We will definitely come back in the summer and enjoy the creek which is just across the road.

Creekside cabin in the redwoods

We had a great stay at Mark's cabin. Check-in was easy (once I figured out where the road was) and finding the bakery was easy with his directions. Despite the bakery being technically closed for the holidays, Mark hand-delivered some pastries, muffins, incredible sourdough bread, and fresh-roasted coffee our first morning. Well-equipped kitchen, a great wood-burning stove, and cozy bedrooms made for a great stay. Just 15 minutes from Guerneville and half an hour from Bodega Bay but feels like the middle of the forest. We had a blast.

Sweet little cottage in the woods

My best friend and I had a great stay. The cottage was the perfect size for the two of us. We were able to cook most of our meals and loved sitting out on the front porch to eat, chat and enjoy the surrounding redwoods. We were sad that the creek ran dry this year, but it was easy to drive to the shore, explore hiking trails and the nearby towns. We loved the pastries that were delivered a few mornings and Mark was so friendly and offered great suggestions on places to visit. My only criticism is that the directions confused me a bit but we figured it out. Highly recommend if you’re looking to be tucked into the woods but close to the shore, wineries and all the area has to offer.

A French patisserie in the Redwoods

Imagine a French Patissiere in the middle of the CA redwoods. Mark is a perfect host. Welcoming us to his cottages in the redwoods with an amazing selection of french pastries our first and last mornings.. The cottage was a nice place to return after adventuring around Sonoma County, and the beds were super comfy. Lots of dogs smells in the woods for our blind senior pup. He was able to find the river but was disappointed it was dry. We recommend others enjoy the comforts Mark’s cottages have to offer!

A wonderful place to stay

This place couldn’t be better. Spacious, lovely, well stocked, homey. You can cook for a crowd here, explore the woods right outside your door, and walk along the river. The host is the kindest and friendliest of hosts, even turning up in the morning with fresh pastries to polish off the breakfast. We hated to leave. Check the directions before you set out.

Incredible stay in the redwoods!!!

We've enjoyed Friday pizza and wine at Raymond's Bakery in the past, but hadn't yet checked out the B&B side of the business. We are so happy we did! From Mark's warm heart and hospitality, not to mention his killer baking skills, to the PERFECT location of Paradise Grove - we had an amazing 5-night stay! The cozy cottage was very clean and comfortable, the deck in the redwoods magical - and the gurgling Austin Creek was so much fun for the dogs. Wish we could go back tomorrow!

wonderful getaway in the woods

This is a super cute property located across a private road from a creek that's good for stompin' and a short drive to both wineries and Sonoma coast beaches. We received a delicious plate of cookies upon entry and tray of pastries outside the door one morning, all from the bakery on the property. We also ordered a pizza Friday night which was delicious. A five star rating was given by all family members, including our six year old whose favorite part of the house was the crocheted giraffe head hanging over the dining table. We can't wait to come back for another stay in the future!
