Cazadero, CA

Tucked deep in the redwoods of western Sonoma County, Cazadero is a quiet, forested hideaway along Austin Creek, just north of the Russian River. Life here moves at a relaxed pace under a canopy of towering trees. The tiny downtown covers the essentials with a classic general store, bakery, and post office, while the tight-knit community gathers around local events and the volunteer fire station. Surrounded by shady canyons and home to longtime summer music camps, it is an ideal spot if you are looking for true peace and privacy in the woods.
