Ed's house is in an amazing location. It's in the middle of the redwood forest and is walking distance to the redwood park. It's one of the most peaceful, beautiful places I've ever been. The house/room were very comfortable and Ed was a gracious host. Before I arrived I asked if he would give me some guidance re local hiking. He met me when I arrived then walked me through two trails - the next day I set off on my own to explore them in depth. If you want to get away and experience the redwoods, you have to stay here. Bring a bag of groceries from Santa Cruz or there's a store in Felton. Refrigerator microwave full kitchen you can cook in if you want.
