Wonderful place for our family. Great place for the 18month old. Hosts were amazing, very attentive.
This property is nestled among the redwoods in a quiet neighborhood, with neighbors who are a little ways away, so that you don't feel "crowded ". The property and home are gorgeous, with a trail to the local redwood park right behind, a barbecue and huge deck to enjoy your days and evenings socializing. We even had a deer come pay a visit around sunset each day.
The kitchen was large and lent itself to cooking as a family. We had the best time; our family of six adults really felt at home hereand plan to return for another reunion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house provided plenty of room for our family of four (two teenagers) to spread out and feel comfortable. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the deck was a relaxing place to enjoy a cup of coffee. There is a path in the backyard that joins to a neighboring park with miles of trails. We enjoyed taking walks there and enjoying the quiet of the forest. Would definitely stay there again.
