Scott’s Valley and the Tranquility Retreat is a beautiful setting. Surrounded by Redwoods, it is peaceful and relaxing. The hosts have created a loft that provides comfort and conveniences. Plenty of room to stretch out, curl up with a book and a glass of wine, or close enough to venture out to explore the area. There are local trails to walk, and the beaches are within 15 minutes. Down the hill in Scott’s Valley is the Scotts Valley Market. They have a wonderful deli with a variety of meals plus the market has all kinds of local wines. I would recommend this retreat to anyone looking to get away from the hustle of every day life. My rating says my experience was less than I expected but has nothing to do with the hosts or their home. Mother Nature provided me with a weekend of record breaking heat, rolling blackouts for the first time in 18 years, and an electrical storm like no other. With no power and sky high temperatures, it was not the retreat I anticipated. I would, however, book it again. The potential is wonderful. Laura and Mason are gracious hosts.
