Just got home from our mini-staycation in the Redwoods of Cupertino! It was a lovely getaway. We are a family who loves to camp, and this was like camping without the work of camping. Falling asleep to the sound of the forest, and waking up to the sun, and yet having all the bennies of home was wonderful. It felt like we were further away and it was just what we needed. We had read some of the previous reviewers and felt like we knew what to anticipate - so we had realistic expectations (ie the bathroom design - which was NOT a big deal at all). My kids took turns sleeping in the loft and both of them loved it. Our second night Pat started a fire for us to enjoy and helped to procure some marshmallows (the one thing we failed to pack). It was really great. We could have stayed a few more days easily. It was just really great to be out of our home and feel away from everything, but still be connected as needed.
