This cabin is perfect and we hope to come back again as soon as we can. It is small but so thoughtfully designed and laid out that it doesn't feel at all cramped, just cozy. It is very warm, the bed is really comfortable, the shower is amazing and the kitchen is surprisingly well set up for the size. With two gas rings and a microwave we managed to cook a steak dinner for two and eggs Benedict for breakfast the next day, there was even a whisk. Everything was very clean and worked perfectly, and the decor is both stylish and rustic, and there were a few lovely seasonal touches too. The flames of the gas fire (automatic and very easy to turn on and off) at the foot of the bed were very romantic.
Finding the cabin, parking and entry were easy and Lorraine was very helpful and communicative. There was a lot of clearly laid out useful information both about the cabin (how to adjust heating, set up the Murphy bed etc) and the local area. The cabin was full of convenient and considerate touches like snacks and fresh baked goods, facial wipes, fresh butter and milk in the fridge on our arrival, hand lotion, and trail maps.
The restaurant next door has a lively and fun bar and the restaurant at the back was expensive but worth it with excellent food, cocktails and service. Even with live music we couldn't hear the bar at all from the cabin, so were quite surprised to walk out and see how busy and popular it was!
The location is wonderful, the cabin feels very secluded and isn't overlooked by either the house or the restaurant, the views from the windows are all of the marvelous redwood forest. There are fantastic hiking trails nearby, we drove a few miles to get to the ones near Methuselah (1800 year old redwood tree) but there are trail heads within walking distance of the cabin too.
