Blossom Sanctuary: the facts
Short, plain answers to the questions people ask most. For exact prices on your dates, use the booking box on the home page.
What is Blossom Sanctuary?
Blossom Sanctuary is a private retreat house in Etna, California, in Scott Valley in Siskiyou County. You book the whole house, so nobody else stays there during your visit. It sits between a hotel and a vacation rental: the privacy of a home, with a concierge you can reach any time. It is independently owned and operated, and the house in Etna is the first Blossom location.
Who is it for?
Couples, families, small groups of friends, writers, artists and anyone who wants quiet time close to nature. The house sleeps up to six guests.
The house
- Bedrooms and bath: three bedrooms and one large bathroom. A main bedroom with a California king bed and vaulted ceilings; a second bedroom with a queen bed, a writing desk, yoga mats and kettlebells; and a loft with a full bed, reached by a ladder.
- Blackout curtains in every bedroom.
- Kitchen: fully equipped, with coffee, tea and welcome snacks included.
- Warmth and comfort: a wood stove, air conditioning and fans.
- Work: fast Wi-Fi. Past guests have run video calls and online school from the house.

How do I get there?
The closest major airport is Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (MFR), about 83 miles away, roughly an hour and a half by car. Rental cars, Uber and Lyft are at the airport. There is no taxi or ride share in Scott Valley, so plan on a car.
