La Honda Happiness

We normally celebrate out anniversaries on the North Coast but for our 40th, we opted for a redwoods retreat closer to home. Wow, did we score. The Cottage in the Woods is a perfect getaway for two. The Cottage looks like new, is very well appointed and stocked with items you seldom see in a vacation rental. The location, right beside La Honda Creek is lovely. The creek provides all of the white noise you need and the breeze through the redwoods and pine is soothing. In all, a great place to relax, and Lea is the perfect host with weath of knowledge about the area. If going on a nice sunny weekend, you may be well advised to plan on hanging out at the cottage as the roads are very twisty and full of people with more unmuffled horsepower than sense. Weekdays are a joy, less noise and roads are fine to drive to the beach or up Skyline Drive.

Unexpected beauty!

The pictures and description don’t do this rental justice! It’s in the middle of a redwood forest and the creek is wonderful! Lea has set the place up perfectly and has thought of so many special touches. We would come back in a heartbeat!!

Fantastic! Five Stars!

I can’t say enough about this property and our host, Lea. We needed a place to stay in the area during the Christmas holiday that was near my parents’ house in Portola Valley. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was super clean and beautiful inside. The hosts went above and beyond by providing a lot of extras. There were eggs, butter, milk, coffee, snacks, and much more. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked and had everything we needed to make a meal. We enjoyed sitting on the deck by the creek - so peaceful! Communication with Lea was great! We enjoyed chatting with her on our last day. She is a wealth of knowledge about the home and the area. Make sure to go to Alice’s! We love that place. We also went to San Gregorio Beach for a short hike on Christmas morning. Only about 20 minutes away. Great stay! We hope to be back!

Perfect Cozy Cottage, Would Stay Again

My partner and I needed a place to stay overnight to attend a wedding nearby at The Mountain Terrace. Lea’s property and cottage were beautiful, we were so grateful to experience La Honda’s beauty. The cabin is spacious and very well stocked, we appreciated the all the thoughtful touches like extra towels and blankets. Don’t skip this one you won’t regret it!

Cottage in the Woods

For years, VRBO has been my go-to. With a few exceptions, my experiences have been positive. However, none has topped the wonderful get-away we had in Lea's cottage. The scent of redwoods and flowers greeted us, accompanied by the sounds of the flowing creek. The cottage itself was welcoming: meticulously clean, equipped with everything we might have needed and much more. My only caveat: make sure Google takes you to the correct address.
