Nestled in a redwood grove, this stunning retreat is the perfect place to unplug and bask in the awe of Mother Nature. I spent the majority of our time on the beautiful deck, under massive redwoods, simply watching the squirrels and birds play above, reading, writing, and relaxing. The sound of the creek, only a few meters from your door, lulls you to sleep in the evening and calms you during the day. We enjoyed our meals in the outdoor table shaded by the trees. The home is only a ten minute walk from Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park or a quick five minute drive to the Fall Creek Unit. There are plenty of restaurants close by as well as a market, coffee shop and RiteAid. Felton is a beautiful town and you are so close to Santa Cruz as well (only an 8 minute drive). Mateo was an incredibly gracious host, very communicative and left snacks and drinks for us upon arrival which was a nice and welcome surprise. I would not hesitate to book this place again and again.
