About this property

River Retreat Luxury King Studio with Jacuzzi bath, Kitchen, near river.

Enjoy the tranquility and quiet surround of this superb location near the Sacramento river and trails. Be independent in your own space in this King deluxe master studio. Unwind and take a long soak in the spa bath, enjoy 'eating in' using your private little kitchenette, sit at the breakfast bar and enjoy the freshly roasted special blend of organic coffee provided by your host. Look out to the tranquil back garden and water fountains, or relax on your own porch with outdoor chairs/small table . But most of all, get a good night's sleep on a very comfortable cal king bed!

NB. You studio is your own private space with your own external access down the side of our house. It is connected to our house by a wall, and the back lawn is a shared space.

The kitchen has a sink, breakfast bar, counter space and everything you need to prepare your meals; a decent sized fridge you can stock up, microwave, coffee pot, blender, small portable oven, induction cooking element with pots, utensils, crockery and glassware.

In the room is a sofa and coffee table for you to relax, sip on your freshly roasted coffee as you look out over the back garden. The small dining room table with two chairs is great for eating meals or a work desk.

Karina is a coffee snob and owned her own cafe in New Zealand, so roasts her own unique blend of organic coffee at home which guests love! Karina thinks it's the best coffee in Redding!... Come and see what you think ;)

This is a great place to stay for those wanting a luxury retreat, conference attendees, cyclists, nature/outdoor lovers, dog owners (if you have a furry friend, please let us know to get pre-approval); and allows you to be self contained cooking meals in rather than having to eat out all the time.

It is a 4.8 mile drive to Bethel.

For your entertainment there is a television in the room with access to netflix, hulu, sling, disney plus and amazon prime. No shortage of movies to watch!

There is good wifi internet (can do video zoom calls etc), central air conditioning, off street parking outside (to the right of the garage), and access to our laundry room by request on the other side of the door from your kitchenette.

We love to host and enjoy getting to know our guests. We also respect your privacy and need for space. We are available to answer any local questions you may have. Karina works from home (up the other end of the house) so will be there most of the time, however, may not always be available to chat.

Perfect for dog family

Very well kept, clean and cozy studio. It was perfect size for 2 adults and our 2 dogs. We did feel some awkwardness having to encrouch in the owners backyard and living space since the yard is free range and dogs need to walk everywhere before finding the right spot. We might have felt more at ease if the yard was partitioned for the guest suite only but definitely wpuld recommend and will book on our future trips to Redding.

River Retreat

We had a lovely 5 day stay at the River Retreat. It was quiet, the bed was excellent, as was the bathroom. The location was a stone throw away from the river, and the trails there are just glorious to walk. Hosts were really great.

About the host

Hosted by Karina

Host profile image
Matt and Karina are an easy going couple and love getting to know new people from all over the world. Matt grew up in Pismo Beach, Southern California and loves surfing and mountain bike riding. Karina is from New Zealand and since marrying Matt in 2012 has made Redding her permanent home. Karina loves being Mom of two adopted little ones, hospitality, espresso coffee, healthy gourmet food, family road trips in the RV. Matt and Karina both did Bethel School of Ministry (BSSM) and are now long term Bethel members.
We live at the Moonstone River Retreat House and our little family consists of Matt, Karina, our two young children and 'Jimmy' our adorable Lemon Beagle/Chihuahua cross dog who is very loveable and loves meeting new guests!

Why they chose this property

Guests rate us very well (most 5/5) and common feedback is that they love the location being right near the Sacramento river trail, with the studio being right on the edge of town it's easy to unwind amongst nature, just a short stroll away. Cyclists and dog owners love close access to the river trails just outside our door!
In the other direction of downtown you'll find the best rated cafes in Redding (which you can bike to). The quiet and relaxing ambiance of the studio looks out over a pleasant back yard. Guests like the comfortable cal-king bed, and, enjoy the luxurious bathroom with the double sinks and jacuzzi style bath with jets.
Of course it goes without saying, we're a friendly, easy going couple, who love meeting new people from all around the world! And, we have the cutest little dog (and two young children) who give a warm welcome to all our guests!
One guest said "We love this place as it is very restful, with little bluebirds that hang out in the tranquil back yard, and the river trail is just across the road".
The well equipped kitchen with a sink, good sized fridge, induction stove top countertops and small breakfast bar make it just another reason to stay here!

What makes this property unique

Quiet and peaceful retreat
Great to unwind and connect with nature down the river trail
Luxurious bathroom with jacuzzi bath
Very comfortable bed (some comment they had the best sleep ever!)

And, cute dog "Jimmy" who loves to visit if you invite him ;)
