About this property

Spectacular Lakefront Ranch Estate in Redwoods, 153 Acre Retreat

This beautiful 153-acre, white-fenced, lakefront ranch rests on Lake Earl, the largest freshwater lagoon in California. Woodhaven Lakeside Ranch is comprised of 90 acres wildlife conservation area and 60 acres of pastureland, redwood timberland and streams.
Sandra Bullock stayed here for a month while filming the movie "Bird Box" on the Smith River.

Woodhaven Lakeside Ranch is one of the most beautiful properties in Del Norte county. Every evening on the deck is a sunset like no other, watching the ducks, geese, egrets, blue herons and deer and occasional elk in the front yard, silhouetted by the setting sun. Sit in the hot tub with your favorite drink, your favorite people, and relax, bond and re-center yourself! There are countless trails on the beach and in the redwoods to horseback ride. We are also prepared to host your wedding and reception or family reunion. We have 14 three foot diameter round tables and 100 chairs available with 4500 square feet of living space and 2000 square feet of deck.

Entering the home you are greeted with modern, comfortable elegance. The great room has 2 unique focal points. At one end is a two-sided, see-through fireplace with gorgeous 'country rubble' stonework. At the other end is a magnificent piece of art, a 9' X 4' redwood log chainsaw carving of 'The Last Supper'. The master suite is spacious, with a king size Tempurpedic sleigh bed, 52' HD TV, wood and gas stone fireplace, and huge master bath with jetted tub and a large corner marble shower with stone pebble flooring and two shower heads. The sunroom has a beautiful gas fireplace at one end, a wall of windows facing the lake to the west and a 52' HD TV with blue-ray player and HD satellite. All bedrooms have Sealy Posturepedic mattresses and antique sleigh beds. The detached studio has it's own full bath and kitchenette.

Enjoy the beauty and peaceful tranquility of this one-of-a kind lakefront estate. Listen to the sounds of nature, the frogs on the 2 acre pond and the owls at night. Watch the abundant wildlife roam and the sheep and cattle graze. Gather fresh eggs for breakfast from the chicken coop in the barn. Wander through the redwoods and along the creek that runs through the trees. Walk along Kellogg Beach 2 miles down the country road and fly a kite or beachcomb for shells, driftwood and other treasures. Leave in a relaxed state of mind.

Beautiful location with lots of amenities.

My family stayed here and loved it. It's very spacious, with a gorgeous yard and walk down to a pond. There were some mild inconveniences with the front gate having difficulty opening or getting stuck open, but nothing that serious. The hot tub and deck are amazing, and the pantry was stocked with baking and spice essentials.

Wonderful place for a retreat

I hosted a small women's retreat, and the location was ideal. The house is large and spacious, providing plenty of open living areas that comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults and 4 youth. Most of our needs were met by the house's amenities, including parking, bedrooms, bathrooms, essential pantry items, cookware, appliances, towels, and blankets. The property is both spacious and absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend this location and plan to book here again in the future.

A Slice of Heaven

A magical property. The perfect place to unplug, contemplate nature and relax. My brother and I (40s) took my two kids (6&8) and our 80 yo mom to visit the redwoods. This is where we stayed and it was a special trip for us all.

Perfection for Wedding Reception / family vacation home

My husband and I, his parents and his two sons, all stayed here for 4 fantastic days. We had our wedding reception inside/outside the barn, which is romantic, rustic, kitsch and well outfitted for celebrations. The owners also rented us all the tables, chairs, dishes and barware for the occasion, and were key in finding local vendors for catering, hair, etc. I also had a family rehearsal dinner at the main house and there were people on the porch, around the campfire outside, in the kitchen, etc. Such a great place to spread out and get comfy with your loved ones. What a beautiful setting! We will be back for family vacations in the future.

Delightful, relaxing, accommodating!!

Pictures and descriptions just can’t do the property justice! Becky met us at the property to show us around, it had everything we needed and more. Examples are the FULLY stocked kitchen, we cooked all our meals there, even baked a birthday cake, we had it all! The deck was beautiful, all across the back of the house, sunset was gorgeous and we even saw elk in the distance near the lake. The house is enormous for a family of 5, everyone had space. It felt very safe, set out in a large gated property. If you’re wondering if you should book this, do it, you won’t be sorry!

Unfortunately my last stay here.

A couple years ago I got married here and loved it. We came back a year later to celebrate my husbands birthday. This time however, was a very different experience. Without going into detail, I’ll just share that the communication with the owners is the worst of any stay I’ve been at. They don’t respond and they don’t reach back out. Being a returning guest -who actually fixed some broken wedding equipment for them the last time- I thought it would be a special trip. But it turned out they were trying to charge me extra for all kinds of things with absolutely no communication between us. I guess they assumed they could get away with it. I’m very disappointed and this would have been somewhere I’d come back to for years. Now I’ll never book with them again and I’ll have to share exactly why with people I know.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis and Becky Wood

Host profile image
We have lived in the Crescent City area for 40 years, and own All Creatures Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic. We have raised 6 wonderful children here and believe this to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. We lead a very busy life filled with faith, family, work, and community involvement, and understand the need for peace and total relaxation to renew the soul.

Why they chose this property

The Lakefront Ranch is a property we have admired in our daily drive from Fort Dick to Crescent City for 30 years. Our daughter-in-law and her mom would pull into the ranch driveway just to sit and watch the sunsets for many years. The property is a working ranch with a huge barn, remodeled with chandeliers and antiques as a wedding venue, improved pastures, and corrals. We raise sheep and a few head of angus cattle. The chickens in the barn provide daily fresh eggs. The pond is reported to harbor prize cutthroat trout and lots of waterfowl and wildlife. When we purchased the property the house was gutted and at the beginning of a complete remodel. We saw tremendous possibilities, and jumped at the chance. The result is astounding, and will be beyond your expectations; comfortable, elegant and totally relaxing.

What makes this property unique

As you turn off Lower Lake Road onto the alder lined 1/4 mile drive, you will breath a sigh of relaxation. If it's dusk, you will race to get the best sunset view. At other times you drive slowly, and talk to the sheep and cows grazing nearby. Entering the home you are greeted with modern, comfortable elegance. The living room has 2 unique focal points. At one end is a see-through fireplace with gorgeous 'country rubble' stone work. The other end is a 9' X 4' redwood log chain saw carving of 'the Last Supper'. The master suite is spacious, with a 52' HD TV, wood and gas fireplace, and huge master bath with jetted tub and 2 headed marble shower with stone floor. The detached studio has it's own bath and kitchenette.
