I was seeking tranquility, peace, a night sky full of stars, the smell of redwood trees, a hot tub, views and comfort. This place delivered everything. The bed was super comfy, we sank into it and slept soundly. The kitchen fully stocked with everything you might need; Even a French press! We really appreciated the stainless steel pans for cooking. Also, they provided a fresh dish sponge and steel wool for cleaning (it’s the little things for me). There was a small space heater that worked perfectly although it wasn’t too cold and we were able to sleep without it. The sky was dark and stars clearly visible. You could hear a pin drop it was so quiet. The hot tub in the public space was small enough for the two of us comfortably and got really hot. The jets didn’t have that much strength to them but I enjoyed the calmness of the hot water overlooking the treetops. Beautifully landscaped, every moment picturesque. The redwood deck was truly healing. We had the sound and aromatherapy treatment. While we truly enjoyed the sounds I think the aroma therapy was not too thought out. The rose water spray was the most dominant fragrance but honestly I would have loved more essential oils. This was mostly a spritz every now and then. The performers that sang and used natural sound tools where talented and the scenery was awesome. Thank you for creating this oasis. We loved it. Parking and driving directions where perfect and legible. The market place before you arrive at the retreat has everything you could possibly need. Just in case you forget to bring enough wine!
