We visited the Waldhaus for our yearly family reunion. It was in a beautiful area of La Honda in the redwoods and close to several beaches along Highway 1. We chose this AirBnB both for its seclusion during the pandemic and also the value. The amenities were outstanding and it was perfect for our families with the separate cabins and separate large multi-person bathrooms. It was great to be able to have the all the kids shower while the adults put together dinner. It was also great to unplug for the weekend. With very limited cell coverage and internet service the kids (and adults) had no choice to but to explore, play board games, and actually talk to each other (image that!). Wendy was also very easy to communicate with when I had questions. Make sure you go through the check-in documentation. I didn't do a good job of reading through it so I ended up messaging Wendy over the AirBnB app but she was gracious enough to answer all my questions.
The drive there is very curvy and the roads are narrow. Keep this in mind if you have travelers that get car sick easily. Also, make sure you have your groceries all squared away. The nearest large grocery store takes a while to get to (due to the aforementioned curvy roads). The evening can bring bugs, mosquitos, and wasps/hornets, so just keep that in mind. One of the kids got stung and we all had mosquito bites. It wasn't a big deal or surprising - after all we are in beautiful nature and all the things that come with that.
If you're looking to getaway to the peace and beauty of the redwoods; away from tech and city life, this is the place for you. It's perfect because maybe you do just need a few creature comforts like a hot shower and a kitchen to cook meals. Otherwise, just light a fire, play the guitar, listen to wind in the trees and watch the kids be kids.
