The perfect solo escape! Treat yourself to a quiet getaway for one at this cozy, clean and comfortable cabin on our rural farm, between two rivers, on Sherman Island. Located in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area at the confluence of the San Joaquin River, Sacramento River, and the eastern terminus of San Francisco Bay, Sherman Island is known for its wildlife, sunrises, and sunsets, and its dark sky for stargazing opportunities. The property is surrounded by alfalfa fields, grazing cattle, sheep, and a wildland habitat populated with migratory and native birds, animals, and plants. The one-room cabin has a bed and clawfoot bathtub with hot water offering a peaceful escape on our 5-acre tree-lined farm. Here you can listen to birdsong instead of the sounds of the city. This is an ideal cabin for birdwatchers, plein air painters, nature photographers, stargazing, windsurfers/kiteboarders, meditation, or some stress-free, peaceful reset time. The private cottage has a refrigerator, microwave, compostable dinnerware, drinking water, and a coffeemaker with coffee. It is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. Pets are welcome and free to enjoy being off-leash in the cabin's fenced yard. The hosts raise free-range chickens and bees on their farm and also conduct a nonprofit rescue and hospice for senior pets. The property is in the Pacific Migratory Flyway, surrounded by a 1000-acre state habitat/preserve populated by seasonal bird populations. Downtown San Francisco and Sacramento are each about 55 miles away in opposite directions. Mount Diablo, viewed from the property, is about 15 miles south and offers hiking trails with stunning views and abundant wildlife.Treat yourself to a quiet getaway for one at this cozy, clean, comfortable cabin between two rivers at our rural farm on Sherman Island,.

Birders Cabin (Sherman Island)
Amazing, peaceful retreat
What a peaceful place! The hosts were very kind and had all sorts of cool animals. The bath tub was awesome and the epsom salts were a nice touch. Thanks for the relaxing stay. I was able to make a lot of art

Birders Cabin (Sherman Island)
Secluded Nature Spot
Steve and Cici's place was ideal. I decided to take a last minute overnight trip to get away from work and decided to stay here because it was in a new part of the Bay Area I hadn't spent much time in and because of the great reviewa. I found the solitude I was looking for there but also felt safe. The property is on marshland and although I am not a border, I was amzed by the bird life. It is far beyond what you see at my wetlands experiences at Shoreline Park in Mountain View. I was blown away by the variety and number of birds visible from their property and in every direction. The cabin amenities included the most comfortable bed I've slept on, an oversized clawfoot bath and a firepit just outside the cabin door. I enjoyed spending time watching the fire and the dark night sky before sleeping well and riding home and work the next day. The night spent at the cabin was refreshing and renewed my spirit. I felt renewed. Thank you!

I loved everything, the bed, claw foot tub, fire pit, doggos, chickens, kitties, and Penny the turkey. Ceci and Steve are lovely and it felt like home.

Birders Cabin (Sherman Island)
The perfect solo staycation spot!
I’m from the Bay Area and wanted to go on a quick staycation weekend during a hectic time and this was just the solo getaway I needed to reset and refresh! The cabin itself is so cute and well decorated and was really clean and well appointed. Many thoughtful touches are provided, from nature books and binoculars in the bookshelf to coffee and a coffee maker to epsom salt and a tray to set your book on for the claw foot tub. I really enjoyed wandering in the fields behind the property at sunset, and waking up to hens and baby chicks wandering through the front patio of the cabin every morning. I also got visits from Willie the dog and Zara the cat which was so fun! when I got there Cici gave me a tour of the property and was very helpful over text anytime I had a question while there! Both Steve and Cici were so kind and considerate the whole time. They were really respectful about letting me have my privacy at the cabin and respecting the amount I was wanting to engage with them or not while there. I love to meet new people and am a chatterbox when I get going, so during my time there I had some absolutely wonderful conversations with Steve and Cici! They are both delightful, and by the end of my two day stay it really did feel like I was staying with family friends. Steve and Cici have built a beautiful and peaceful space and have such a wonderful sense of community, I will absolutely be back again soon!
