Quiet Retreat
Michael's stay is incredibly quiet, cozy, comfortable and clean. The craftsmanship and attention to detail made everything immensely enjoyable. The township of Ben Lomand is very close just down the hill. The town has a lovely market and great eateries. The vibe in town is wonderful and unexpectedly unpretentious given the likely pricey real estate. The tiny home is better than expected. The pictures can't quite capture how lovely it all is. Easy to find and get to as well. whwriting

Exactly as described! No internet. No cell service. A nice, quiet retreat in the mountains, but still close enough to access all that the Santa Cruz mountain area has to offer. Overall, a great way to escape the grind and take a real vacation away from electronic distractions.

Great cabin in the redwoods
Beautifully designed little cabin with every detail considered. The setting in the Santa Cruz mountains is peaceful and lovely. Convenient to restaurants, groceries and Henry Cowell State Park, and 20 minutes from Santa Cruz. Perfect.

Wonderful Cabin
This cabin was one of the most hospitable places we've stayed. Every time we needed something, it was there. The kitchen was well-equipped and spacious. The cabin was clean and well designed. We enjoyed the unique elements of the cabin, too. The location is incredible - surrounded by redwoods and tanoaks. It is peaceful and quiet. There are a picnic table and a nice bench to the side of the cabin that look out into the forest with an uninterrupted view. The only shortcoming of the property is that the view from the cabin porch to the forest is interrupted by a couple of tarp covered storage structures. despite that, we would consider staying there again.

Cozy & Quiet
Checkin was easy and painless, the cabin itself is quiet and very relaxing. It had a full kitchen and we were able to prepare groceries there without issue. The road to get in/out seemed daunting, but our two wheel drive rental car made it fine even during intense rain. Michael was a great host and I would absolutely stay here again!

Redwood Retreat
The "Tiny House" had all the tiny touches one could ask for. Only thing missing was wifi, but I wanted a get away, so I was fine with it. Really thoughtful set up in the house with good cooking and coffee making tools. The host was quick to respond when I had an issue with the propane for the grill. The view from the front deck looks out to some untidy storage type sheds, but it was in the trees, and I was super happy about that. I watched many squirrels and some deer came up the driveway to say hello. The location was walkable to the town of Ben Lomond and a quick 10 min drive to Felton where you can go on some nice hikes and explore the Redwoods. One note: I have T-Mobile and had really spotty, unreliable reception, so if you are looking to use a hotspot with T-mobile, it may not work. The host says he has ATT and it is fine. Just something to know before you go. Overall, a great getaway retreat for a few days and would definitely go back!

Cabin in the Redwoods
Just a great experience. The cabin has everything you need for a getaway. And that’s what this place is…a getaway. Although we had cell service (AT&T), while we could call and text, don’t expect a strong enough feed to do remote work or stream TV. That was fine with us, for our getaway, and we’d gladly return.

Sweet little nest in the woods
Michael's place was a lovely getaway for me and my partner. The kitchen was great for our culinary creations. Loved the outdoorsy bathroom, and the bed was comfy. We could really tell the care that was put into designing and appointing the space. We'll definitely return!

Beautiful location in the redwoods. Incredible attention to detail throughout the property and kitchen was nicer than our kitchen at home! We were glad we had 4 wheel drive for the long gravel driveway. We had a great stay and hope to return.

Amazing 🤩
Best experience from start to finish. Perfect little place tucked up in the woods. Driveway is a little steep and there's no curtains on the inside so....... Get comfy with being naked and having windows for the world to meet lil John. Overall the best tucked in little place for a perfect get away. 5 stars in my eyes.

Small and not fancy, but cute enough. Great location and it was great having the privacy it gave us. No wifi (and barely cell service for me) plus a difficult gravel driveway with a significant grade and curves and definitely things you want to keep in mind.

Private cabin nestled in Redwood Magical Forest
Wow! The attention to detail inside and out of this place was remarkable. My partner and I enjoyed two beautiful summer nights in this cozy cabin. The property has a ton of natural light. Big trees and views. Very close to restaurants, shops and amazing hiking trails. The owners communication when needed was refreshing & appreciated. We will be back again!
