Beautiful surroundings. The main living space was nice and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Having a hot tub after day full of hiking was perfect. However, the price charged for this space was not worth it. There was a musty smell when we walked into the unlocked cottage. The instructions given to enter the cottage were inaccurate and it was left open for anyone to walk in. Downstairs sleeping area had a cat urine smell throughout, with windows left opened (assuming to get rid of the smell). Blankets and towels were left in the dryer for us to fetch. The outside area was full of tree debris, and yes, you are surrounded by redwoods, however, the debris left was more than just things falling off the trees. The outside decks seemed to have not been swept for weeks. We could not utilize the outside area due to all of the cushions being wet. I contacted Joe with regard to the issues listed above, and received a dismissive response back. Will not be renting this space again
