Freddie's place is a magical redwood retreat! It's quiet, feels private and secluded, and is a ten minute walk down the road to the entrance of Henry Cowell Redwood Park, where we did a full day's worth of hiking in the redwoods. We came to Freddie's for our 1 year wedding anniversary with the hopes of spending our evenings in the hot tub, under the stars and redwood trees. When communicating with Freddie prior to our arrival, we learned the hot tub was on the fritz and wouldn't be repaired in time. Freddie went out of his way to book us a 1 hour hot tub/sauna experience at a lovely Japanese inspired spa in downtown Santa Cruz (20 minute drive away) called Well Within Spa. We thought this was incredibly generous and thoughtful of Freddie. We had a perfectly rejuvenating time at the spa and then went out for dinner afterward in Santa Cruz. Freddie was prompt with responses to our messages and so lovely during check in. The cottage is stocked with all kitchen essentials, books, movies, games, and pamphlets of fun things to do in the area. We hope to come back and enjoy the hot tub under the trees one day! Thanks for a great stay, Freddie!
