Madeira House

The place

Three houses on the Sonoma Coast, folded into one quiet hideaway above the Russian River. Madeira House sits tucked away in Jenner, California, refurbished with a charming, homey hand that takes its cues from the landscape. The eleven guest rooms and suites hold curated antiques, soothing natural materials, Keetsa bedding, and views of the river.

Days drift between the waterfront deck and a verdant garden, where a firepit waits in the evening cool. Many rooms open onto a private furnished balcony. There is no formal restaurant here — only a social lounge with local food and drinks to carry out — which suits a place made for wandering the wild edges of Northern California.
