Lovely and peaceful cottage in the heart of Bodega Bay

This cottage is in a perfect location to explore Bodega Bay and surrounding area. The cottage itself is comfortable, quiet, private and peaceful with a well-maintained interior and surrounded by trees and a lovely garden. We enjoyed the hot tub and indoor gas fireplace. The hosts were very responsive and we look forward to returning!

Tranquility in the woods

The Beekeeper's Cottage is such a comfortable and relaxing place to get away. A big thank you to David & Juli for all the amenities, great communication, and care given to the property. My partner & I were struck by how quiet and peaceful it was even though we were a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Bodega Bay (especially on a holiday weekend!). We especially enjoyed waking up with the local turkey vulture family, who like us would come out into the sun to warm up before heading out for the day. Although our teen didn't join us on this trip, the cottage would have easily accommodated us all with plenty of room for meals, playing games, lounging around with our books, and even making a little music. Outside offers plenty of spots for sketching or taking in the trees and bird activity. This is truly a special spot that conveyed to us a strong feeling of love for the land and enjoyment of company. We hope to return again and see it in a different season!

Magical Getaway

This property provided all we needed for a cozy little girls staycation. As Sonoma County Natives, we didn’t need much except a cozy place with a place to relax. This provided just that! I fell in love with the cute, quaint house and the comfortability jt gave from just our two night stay. The added amenities of the hot tub, out door shower, and a bottle of wine upon arrival was above and beyond. Our stay here could have not been better or easier. Thank you David for the beautiful property and Juli for amazing, and consistent communication. This definitely won’t be my last stay here

About the host

Hosted by Juli Choden

Hello my name is David and I warmly welcome you to the cottage.
I work with a variety of passionate dedicated researchers throughout Sonoma County and the bay area helping to protect & better understand the ocean, local bays, estuaries and connecting land systems.
In my spare time I love to surf, scuba dive & swim. I also love to backpack, mountaineer and explore new places. I love sharing my knowledge of land stewardship, gardening and beekeeping with friends and family. I also enjoy meeting new people and sharing good food, company and stories.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is very peaceful, private, cozy and relaxing. It’s a great place to unwind with family and friends and escape the bustling city life. One can enjoy sitting out on the back deck reading, quietly sipping a cup of tea or glass of wine and entertain. One can also relax around the outdoor gas fire place and gaze up at the stars at night.

After a day at the beach, hiking coastal trails or exploring Bodega Bay and West County one can rinse off under the outdoor showers then hop in relax in the hot tub. One can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean on nearby Salmon Creek Beach and the swaying of the mature coastal cypress trees in the wind.

What makes this property unique

This coastal cottage is a quiet, private peaceful retreat, a unique natural sanctuary tucked between Salmon Creek Beach and Bodega Bay. Bordered by a butterfly preserve, State Parks Dunes campground and a riparian corridor the cottage is surrounded by wildlife and nature. Osprey and Owls can often be seen perched high above in the cypress trees, deer, quail, foxes roaming below and hummingbird’s bees and monarch butterflies actively foraging on the flowering mature plants and fruit trees.

Overall a wonderful place to relax and entertain.
