My partner and I were looking for a get away not to far from home. As Bay Area natives we knew the general area we wanted to go and what we found was truly a treasure, La Honda is a hidden gem in a natural sanctuary.
The lil shack is tucked away between giant redwoods and ancient sequoias. The drive out to the shack is a fun, narrow, twisty turny road carved out between trees sky high. The shack is a close drive to Sam McDonald County Park, the coast and plenty other natural wonders a curious person could entertain themselves with for a thousand lifetimes.
Tom and Devora were delightful hosts providing us with trail suggestions, homemade plum and pear-ginger jam and good vibes- they are very sweet people and amazing artist as you will see by their inspiring garden! I can't wait to come back to explore more of this magical area.
The shack is a cozy size, great for couples or 3 close friends. They provided a heater which kept the shack toasty! the futon easily pulls out to a king size bed, it kind of takes up the whole room but after a long day hiking all we wanted to do was lay down so it worked out perfectly for us.
Thank you for the amazing stay and hospitality!
