If you want to commune with the redwoods, this is the place for you. We spent the weekend surrounded by a healthy, well-maintained forest, and nestled in a thoughtfully designed, quality-built cabin. Had it rained all weekend, we would have been perfectly happy to curl up in the window seat and read or stare out the windows at this magical plot of land, while the pellet stove burned. But we had amazing weather, so we visited Santa Cruz and hiked through Big Basin. Our hosts were so kind, welcoming, and helpful. We like to cook, and the kitchen was well-equipped, including all the basic spices and oils, and a few snacks, too. The only downside was that we had to leave when the weekend ended. We look forward to returning, though.
