The kitchen is very well stocked with all of the supplies and gear you could possibly need. The views from the house are absolutely incredible, and our family loved greeting the seals perched below each morning. Highlights from our stay included soaks in the hot tub, countless family walks on the bluff trails, exploring the Hot Spot Loop/San Andreas Fault Interpretive Loop, breakfast at Trinks in Gualala, lunch at the Lodge, grilling dinner on the deck, watching tons of World Cup games in the spacious and comfortable living room, and magical visits to Pebble Beach, Ohlson Beach, And Black Point Beach. This year, our boys also attended a week of Sea Ranch Kids Camp at the Links. They enjoyed their time there, especially the bounce house, art projects, and kayaking trip on the Gualala River. Thank you so much for hosting us. We can't wait to come back.

Corn Maze, hay rides, big slide, of ALL kinds and sizes. You will not be dissapointed. When you compare to all the other options you've seen kids and kid at heart adults will have a lifetime memory!!! Check it out. Worth the drive. Make or a day. Lake county still small town and not commercialized and most of the people who fill this venue each week friendly and a wholesome experience

So many awesome activities too. The foam machine, apple catapult, haunted house and trampoline were huge hits with the boys as well as the corn maze. This was our first year attending since moving back to lake county to retire, we look forward to many visits in the future with other grandkids:)

We stayed at Anvil as part of a wedding party. And I've never been to a place quite like it…read more Breathtaking barely describes this place. We came up from San Francisco. I had flown in from New York, while my wife ended a business trip and flew in from London. By the time we got our rental and made it through San Francisco rush hour, our ride into the mountains was in near total darkness. I've driven on narrow mountain roads with no guardrails before in Arizona, but always in broad daylight. This was terrifying. We got a taste of the remoteness when we had to stop to allow a family of wild pigs cross the road. We knew this was a drive we would remember the rest of our lives, we just hoped that the rest of our lives wasn't in another 10 minutes. All of this, however, was worth it. The East Coast contingent of the wedding party were all up before dawn due to jet lag, and we sipped our coffee and watched the dawn rise over the mountains. This was the first view my wife and I had of the place. It was magical. It was like being transported to 19th century California. I hadn't realized California had places so untouched by population. The bed was comfortable, the accommodations very homey, and the setting magnificent. Easily one of the best places we've stayed in California. Just drive up in the daylight!

This remote corner of Sonoma County is breathtaking, and Anvil Ranch is just perfect. Sam went OUT OF HIS WAY to help us pull off an amazing party.

Shannon is just the sweetest, and she was a big help on Sunday sorting through the rental gear and easing our final hours on the ranch. There is so much to gush about, I'll just need to update this review later with great tips and details, but suffice it to say - we will be back! love!!!

Longer version: We booked a last-minute stay here when our plans changed and couldn't be happier. Ann returned our call quickly and, although they normally require a 2 night minimum, was willing to let us stay in Creekside for 1 night. Final bill must be paid by cash or check, no cards accepted (fine by us!) Creekside was a simple-but-beautiful space. Fenced yard, lots of windows, and literally right next to a creek. Our dog was in 7th heaven. We cooked in and found the little kitchen had everyone we needed (with the minor exception of olive oil). The next day, we explored more of the property with a delightful hike around Gina's trail. So many photo opportunities and a stunning view of the Anderson Valley, we wished we had stayed another night!

There are numerous outdoor art installations that are worth checking out as a part of a quick walk. There's a small theatre indoors that hosts plays (mostly on weekends). We didn't have a chance to visit the play but it was seemingly packed given the number of cars parked :-). We had a chance to speak with the staff and they were super friendly. All in all, I'd recommend keeping aside a couple of hours if possible during your trip.
