Magic=5/5, convenience of location=1/5. It's hard to know when you book but this cozy cabin is deep in the woods. Minimum of 10 miles of twisty mountain roads to go anywhere. But if you want to be in the redwood forest, that's what you get in northern CA. The area is absolutely magical. We went on some gorgeous hikes, one of which Megan recommended. The cabin itself is small but nicely appointed. We had everything we needed except for maybe space to spread out. :) Overall it was a great value and a good experience.
