We enjoyed the cottage in the Redwoods very much. It was just as the pictures promised. A few minutes from the Henry Cowell redwoods and 15 minutes from the Santa Cruz coast line, so that you have the shady forest environment or the warm beach environment whenever you want. We loved the sound of the creek and the grand view of the forest even when you are in bed in the loft area. The architecture was very special. We loved it. The bed was a little hard but helped by the mattress topper in the closet. Plenty of cooking supplies, good heat for cold nights, TV, DVD's, boardgames and remarkable nature. I only wish we had more time to spend and get some writing done, I'd like to stay for a month. Lovely stay. Thank you Cynthia and Quentin!
