Absolutely perfect

Stayed with my adult son for a weekend getaway. Just a perfect place for a peaceful relaxing time in an unbelievably gorgeous setting. Quiet, comfortable, with enough room for individual time as well as time for togetherness and great conversation. Very clean, well furnished, everything worked perfectly. There are steps up to the porch and between levels, and some uneven ground, so won't be ideal for anyone with real mobility issues. But I'm in my seventies, and it was absolutely fine for me. Being in the redwoods, it can get chilly, but put on a sweater and it's very comfortable. Even had a lovely conversation over coffee with the neighbor across the road! Just perfect. Can't wait to come back and stay longer.

Cozy Redwood Retreat

Oma’s house was clean and cozy and nestled amongst the towering redwoods. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking some of our own meals, and we appreciated having use of the washer and dryer. The location was well situated for day trips to San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Monterey. My kids really wanted to experience the redwoods and that we did!

Do not rent here

We booked this property for the location and idea that our family would be comfortable as a home away from home...which was completely incorrect. Upon arriving the keys were bent and very difficult to even open the door. The home has no instructions. The large deck was not swept clean leaving a hazard in which our toddler fell on. The property lists a heater and fireplace which is false. They give you space heaters which are not envied by parents of young children therfore we froze at night until we got our children to bed and were able turn these on. We rented this as a family and ran out of toilet paper on day 2 of 6 leaving us to go buy our own. The back patio has a standing propane heater that is broken. The door was left open to the propane bottle and bent which would not close and almost fell on us as we were first looking at the deck. This took the beautiful forest setting away from us by creating a another dangerous hazard on the deck. They advertised a BBQ for use when we booked and when attempting to use it again did not work and was full of rust leaving it unsafe to cook on. Internet was horribly slow and spotty. Overall this was the worst place we have ever stayed on a vacation getaway and we come here multiple times a year. We feel like we threw money to slumb lords pockets so they can profit off of our family's chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful forest. I do not suggest anyone rent this place until there is a major overhaul by the owners!
