If you really want to feel at one with nature less than an hour away from Silicon Valley, Karen and Candice's studio is perfect. Even the road leading in feels like driving through a redwood forest. Make sure you've read the description and are comfortable with the open toilet in the studio, which wasn't a big deal for me and my wife. Surfing and the Boardwalk are only 20 minutes away, and nearby Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is also a must-see.
