Great cottage

Immaculate, cute, and well appointed. Loved listening to the creek and being able to make use of the kitchen and gas grill. Convenient for hiking-appreciated the washer and dryer! If you are coming from San Francisco, Roberts market is a great stop on the way over. La Honda market also has some staples. Highly recommend this cottage, wonderful relaxing stay.

Marvelously Peaceful

We needed a peaceful retreat prior to a Monday morning appointment at the Stanford Spine Center. This cottage in the redwoods was just perfect. Lea greeted us when arrived. And we enjoyed a peaceful, private stay. Listening to the gentle flowing creek was wonderously soothing. We'll be back a couple more times for surgery and follow-up.

Perfect little cottage and location, The owner Lea was the perfect hostess I told her based on the entire cabin and experience, "If She (Lea) didn't have it, you don't need it". This lady cabin should be in Hone and Garden magazine. Thank you Lea for making my wife and I so comfortable and welcome. Ken &b Carol AZ

high up there

The cottage was located on a California Mountain which was just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean on the West, and Palo Alto on the east. The drive was on a very steep and winding road that took some getting used to. Also, do not make our mistake and try to use Waze to find the place. Google Maps works. The weather was beautiful- AMs in the high 50s, afternoons sunny around 80. Immediately adjacent is a trickling brook, the only noise save for the occasional vehicle on the road. Very clean and dry air. The hosts were available and very friendly, and kept it very clean. It was just right for us to commute some days to Palo Alto but unwind in total peace in the afternoons and evenings.

An exceptional getaway

The property is gorgeous. Loved listening to the stream outside. The cottage was beautifully appointed. Lovely linens and kitchen ware. Delicious snacks and beverages. But the best part of my stay was my interaction with Lea and her husband. They were welcoming, respected my privacy and went out of their way to accommodate my needs. So grateful for their warm kindness and generosity.

The Cabin Anyone Would Love to Stay At!

The location of the property is well suited to exploring California’s coastal areas and foothills. The cabin exterior doesn’t do justice to the hospitality within. We found the cabin cozy and friendly, with an interior that is lively, open, uncluttered, with natural lighting, and unobtrusive reminders to relax and enjoy the setting. There are all the amenities of a best-in-class VRBO. The deck off the back sits next to small brook that makes the perfect spot to have a glass of wine and enjoy the natural setting and seclusion. We usually try to meet the host to thank them for the stay, but a change to our itinerary didn’t make that possible. None the less, she made efforts to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of.

Redwoods Hiking Trip

A satisfying exhale was this road-weary Angeleno's response to entering this private and beautiful cottage in the woods. The personal touches abound and everything you need to feel at home is already provided. Comfort, relaxation, and hiking adventure is at your immediate discretion in either the comfy bed, outdoor deck overlooking a babbling stream, or the redwood forests in which this cottage is located. Every appliance was in perfect working order, the kitchen fully-equipped, and the bathroom fully-stocked with everything but the most personal preference in linens and toiletries. Simply a great place to relax, decompress, and recharge.
