magical and serene forest retreat with amazing views
We had such a lovely stay in this magical space... its like being in a treehouse retreat since the house is located on a hill that looks out over a valley of amazing redwood trees, which we enjoyed through the large windows and from the deck. The decor and natural beauty created such a peaceful retreat for me and my family, I wish we could have stayed here longer! This place is truly magical!
