You have gigantic neighbors when you rent here: redwoods! This is a wonderful property nestled in a redwood forest in the hills just above Los Gatos, Calif.
Follow the AirBnB directions, as Google Maps will try to lead you astray. Repeat: Google Maps does NOT know where this property is.
We got a bit lost, and called Louise, who not only gave us directions, but stayed on the phone to make sure we got there, and then handed us some fresh eggs from her chickens. Talk about a welcome mat.
The property is spanking new and everything was clean. The house goes way beyond the minimum, with high quality toiletries, a full sized fridge, big TV, fluffy towels and warm linens.
You're just a 5 minute drive up Hwy 17 from Los Gatos, so it's close, but far enough away from the city to feel you have a cabin in the woods. Louise is close, but the main house is out of view, so you have both privacy and a responsive host nearby.
There is a big collection of things to do that has been hand curated - not just whatever the chamber of commerce hands out. Instructions for all the devices are concise and clear.
Sorry I could only stay two nights, and I'd be back again in a heartbeat.
