My wife and I have stayed in Fire Lookout Towers, Lighthouses, rustic/luxury cabins overlooking San Juan bays, Yurts in Big Sur...we are always seeking the interesting, the beautiful, the accomodations off the beaten path...and we were happy to add Mayacama Mountaintop Retreat to that list. A delightfully secluded cabin, though only a short distance from Santa Rosa, it feels like... more

My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday at Clair de Lune. It was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful...all in all a great escape from the real world. The cottage was very comfortable and had all the necessities (a small but well equipped kitchenette, gas grill, cd's and dvd's, reading material, outdoor shower, jacuzzi tub for 2, access to a hot tub... more

We stayed at Gary and Carolyn's wonderful mountaintop retreat for the first few days of our honeymoon and cannot recommend it highly enough! SUCH an amazing place; so peaceful, so secluded, so serene and so beautiful. It is the ideal place to relax and unwind and has an almost magical feel to it. It was the perfect place to get... more

We spent two nights here sandwiched between two nights in San Francisco to celebrate our 40th birthdays. The quiet and privacy was a wonderful contrast to the cable car bell we could hear from our room in San Francisco. The cottage is beautiful and the Stargazer and suspension bridge were just amazing. We were here during mostly cold, wet weather,... more

I've stayed here about five times over the last six or seven years and every time I leave I swear to myself that I HAVE to come back for more. What a lovely experience. And the star house is a unique little building perched on a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Sonoma and is very private, the telescope is... more

We had a wonderful weekend here. The place is so unique and cozy inside with the circular shaped room and deck looking out to the mountains. We enjoyed exploring the suspension bridge and loved making our meals inside our room. We also had a great time visiting nearby wineries. We did have a little trouble with the heater making a... more

My boyfriend and I spent a long weekend here celebrating my birthday and his recent taking of the CA Bar Exam. Clair de Lune is just amazing. The Mayacama Mountains are beautiful and staying on the top of the mountain in a beautiful cottage/yurt could not be better. The cottage itself is full of natural light and allows one to... more

This place was much more beautiful than the website led me to believe. We enjoyed bathing to the sound of the river, watching the sunset from the stargazer house and hiking around the property. While there is an excellent collection of DVDS, we didn't get to turn on the TV once. There's so much more to enjoy here that I'm... more

We had a beautiful and peaceful stay in this magical "tree house" like environment. The madrone floor in the cottage blended wonderfully with the surroundings outside. As lovers of all forms of hot water, we loved the outdoor shower, the deep tub indoors looking out to the treetops as well as the cliff side hot tub. What a magical getaway... more
