Delia is a super host and a very nice person. The location and amenities are second to none. The state park pass was an excellent value add since we love the outdoors. It gave us access to local beaches, redwood forests and seaside nature preserves - all within 45 minutes drive. As any excellent host does, Delia kept in touch (just enough to make the stay better while still respecting our privacy). She responded quickly to our requests and offered helpful local tips and small things like beach chairs and umbrellas for our use. You can’t go wrong at the forest retreat. It’s worth every penny.
