"This house was spectacular. The cozy atmosphere was exactly what my group was looking for. To my surprise, sleeping on the pull out couch in the sunroom was incredible! You actually wake up looking at the trees. The house is a 20 minute walk to amazing trails within the redwoods. I cannot recommend this place enough. If it’s available the next time we’re in town, we’ll be staying here!"
