If you want to experience a true escape in a thick forest, this is it. I’m glad we got to experience this cabin and enjoyed many things here, great cd and DVD collection, cozy vintage vibes, unique architecture.
There’s a few things I would personally do differently but this is a matter of taste and opinion…for example there’s a lot of instructions and notes to remember, feels a bit excessive if you’re used to a bit more trust and freedom from hosts. I understand the precautions that are important to communicate in a setting like this, but it did kind of dampen the spirit of peace and joy that we hoped to find there.
(Full disclosure, my husband forgot that you can only drive on the private neighborhood road, because it was A LOT of rules to read thru, and his short jog was a big problem with the neighbors.)
The space is smaller and more claustrophobic feeling than I anticipated, but again thats maybe because the redwoods make it dark, and the layout, especially in the kitchen is not ideal for a larger group.
Mostly we felt things were a little over priced and over-stated.
But the 4 of us had a great time together and slept well. The deck, the giant soft couch, and the wood stove were our favorite features.
I would recommend this stay if the price was adjusted to reflect the size, and the surrounding area that is less than welcoming.
