Had a great stay in Cynthia's cute little cottage. It was very close to Roaring Camp, and Santa Cruz. It was very clean. Kitchen was a nice size. Lovely little creek out back. It was myself, my husband, and my 6 and 2 year old sons on the trip. Very convenient location. Just enough in the Redwoods to feel relaxed, but not too far away from everything. There was a double bed and a twin. I'd say if the boys were any older we would need another bed, but it worked out at their ages. There was a nice packet of info about the surrounding area, and a little history on the original 1964 builders/owners. It still has a 1964 feel to it. Heating worked well. Peaceful sound of the creek was very nice at night. My tip would be to drive Hwy 17, and not take Bear Creek Road to find it. We thought we were lost, as Bear Creek/Zayante is a bit long and winding. We called Cynthia, and she helped us right away. She was also very quick to respond to my emails before the trip. I suggest you get there before nightfall. It gets dark in the woods. Coming in from Graham Hill Rd. is a much better route, but Mapquest does not know this. Nice change from an overpriced hotel. Very private.
