Mary and Matt's cabin is exactly what it says, a wonderful retreat in the Redwoods. It is so peaceful and relaxing here, you are right in the redwood forest with huge magnificent redwood trees surrounding you, it feels like you are in a treehouse when out on the deck. The sounds of trees moving in the breeze, the creek babbling and the birds singing, an ideal place to relax and unwind and get away. Curled up with a book on the couch looking at the forest through the massive picture windows or outside on the large or small deck, or in the hot tub the whole environment is relaxing. The house is fun with all amenities for a long or short stay. The four teenagers with us never once complained about no wifi, they spent all their time playing cards and board games and loved their upstairs private zone. The road up is rough as described but adds to the remote feel of the cabin, yet civilization is only a short drive away and we used it as a base to see Santa Cruz and Monterey. We will be back again soon!
