We loved staying at Mary and Matt's place. It was exactly as described. It is nestled among beautiful redwood trees. The house had everything we needed and was perfect for us and our two boys. Staying there was a real retreat from real life and was like going back in time in the best ways possible (limited internet, board games, dvds, and quality time together in nature). Make sure to prepare for the limited cell service when you arrive so that you don't get lost on the way.
The wood stove in the living room and the fire-heated hot tub made our stay warm and extra special.
In contrast to some of the other reviews, we found that the upstairs bedroom can be private with the doors closed, which allowed people some space and was a nice surprise. Mary and Matt were communicative and supportive throughout our stay. We hope to return again soon.
