Cozy Cabin
Amazing front porch with beautiful views. Feels far from everything, but actually quite east accsss to amenities. The house was lovely, and the rooms were cozy. The mattress protector made it sound like you were sleeping on a tarp but the beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed, bathroom had nice plastic free hair care options and soap. Would have loved some good coffee and or tea on site, its not pratical to buy a box/bag for a couple of nights. Thank you for the perfect getaway.

Needs TLC
Shower doors needs replaced or removed and a shower curtain would be great. One of the doors was about to fall off the other door you could barely move it. The beds are very worn out. We all woke up in pain every day. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Weekend away from roommates
My girlfriend and I decided that as we prepare to take some big exams, we ought to give ourselves a little getaway to some cozy, woodsy place and this property definitely fit the bill. Be forewarned that although the area is densely wooded, it is not a property that is remote from other structures/residences. Also the driveway and road up to the property is VERY steep, and some vehicles might not be cut out for it. Otherwise, the place was great for our needs.

Peaceful Mountain Getaway
We absolutely loved staying here and would stay again. A hidden peaceful gem in the San Lorenzo Valley. The house was clean and quiet and just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of every day. We were able to bring our dog and enjoyed walks around the neighborhood and in downtown Felton. The house is in the mountains and with recent storms definitely recommend driving with caution and bringing an AWD vehicle. So worth it though. Stunning views from the balcony, friendly neighbors and close enough to a lake you can walk there.

True tree top stay, missing a few small items
We had a great stay - beautiful cabin amidst the redwoods and easy access to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The cabin could use a few additional details (a smart TV, an additional fan for the second bedroom, a toaster oven), but overall, it was a great value and a lovely stay.

PLEASE READ ALL REVIEWS WE DIDN'T BIG MISTAKE TOO . VERY CURVY AND NARROW ROAD TO GET UP THERE .
Fortunately we have mountain driving experience. The cabin is 3 miles off main road . Very lovely appearance too. We failed to read it had stairs . My wife is ADA . Our fault . However we made it up the stairs. The cabin was clean for the most part but had a strong musky aroma . And cups and glasses were stained from cupboard. Cabinet door in kitchen feel off when opened. Stains on sofa and chairs are quiet used and out of shape. They squeek terribly. Only 3 chairs for the dinning room table and the place supposed be provide for 4 guest. The tv . Well wasn't worth watching in late evening as a group because of the way it positioned against fireplace and wall to the left . Fyi the ice maker sounds like a woodpecker night.. My biggest pet peeves is there's no curtains on the front room windows. It creep my wife out . She realized we were up high. But she was up during the night quiet often while everyone else was asleep.. I don't recommended this place for kids either as they're no place to go

Travel back in time
The house located in very beautiful place. The view from the patio is like in fairytale, absolutely gorgeous. The living space is small, but enough for 2 people. The house located on the hill, so there is no back or front yard to talk about to walk the dog or play. But next to the house in walking distance there is a great park with lots of trails and a lake. Great for hike, fishing or boat riding. Check the park rules. Park is closed for the public from the middle of October to March. There is no cell phone reception available around the house. At least half of the days we spent there we spend without electricity. So, either bring your own generator or solar batteries or be prepared to live like in 19th century.

Lovely Cabin in the Woods
We so enjoyed our stay. The cabin is clean and the kitchen well stocked. It was so wonderful to sit on the deck and look up at the stars, and the view of the redwoods out the bedroom and kitchen windows as the sun rises is spectacular. Wish there was a little more information or maps for the nearby parks and hiking trails, but we made our way. It was a great spot for our first exploration of the Santa Cruz mountains.

Beautiful Cabin in the Trees
This cabin is situated amongst wonderful trees. The outdoor deck is spacious and absolutely beautiful. While we didn't mind the look of the furniture, it is kind of old, especially the beds and sofa. The kitchen has all the basic necessities, but no extras like aluminum foil, zip lock bags, coffee, cooking oil, — the little things you may forget to bring. The bathroom is nice and spacious. The biggest disappointment were the frequent power outages (on 3 days of the 4 days we stayed there). The neighbors have generators, this cabin does not. It seems to be proof to the fact that power outages must happen often here. There are no candles or flashlights in the cabin, but there is a landline so you can call the not so helpful manager. Your cell phone only works over WiFi up there, but, of course, that only works when the power is on. Overall we still had a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed relaxing on the gorgeous deck perched high above ground amongst the trees. The cabin offers a nice peaceful place to spend time with family and friends.

Beautiful location, in desperate need of some maintenance
The location is hard to beat, surrounded by beautiful redwoods. Unfortunately, there are a lot of minor issues that just kept adding up. Cleanliness - the shower and bathroom in particular, including a mass of cobwebs handing down above the toilette. A rocking chair that had a foul odor we couldn't identify. Broken/non-working items - Both kitchen sink stoppers had broken or missing seals. The lighter in the gril didn't work, and the lighter in the house looked like it had been melted and then run over. The grill brush also had no bristles left so the grill obviously hadn't been scrubbed in some time. Multiple lamps did not work (not just the burnt out bulbs either). The bathroom mirror was broken and had a sticker trying to hold in the glass pieces. The eco-pods were interesting for shampoo, etc., but there was no hand soap in the bathroom. All in all it could have been a great little rental, but it really needs a property manager to walk through and take a good look at things.

Beautiful surroundings. Felton is a nice small town slowly reopening. The cabin was lovely. Small but has everything. Great outside deck. We were looking for some peace and quiet and family time so was perfect for us. Couple of items of note: the gas grill is on its last legs so grilling is a little bit of a challenge. They say no smoking on the premises however we did notice an ash can on the deck with cigarette butts in it so not sure what’s going on with that. All in all a good stay.

My spouse, pup, and I stayed for 3 nights and wished we had booked a longer stay. It was cozy, quiet, clean, and a nice stay away from SoCal. A cup of coffee on front porch in the morning, a hike along Loch Lomond during the day, and a glass of wine by the fire in the evening made for a perfect day.

No-frills house in the mountains
I was looking for a place that my husband and one-year-old could use as a home base for a couple of days of day-hikes in the redwoods. I felt the photos and description were accurate, and it was what you would expect for the low price. The kitchen was pretty sparse, so I would recommend bringing all ingredients you need (e.g. we should have brought oil!). There is not much stuff in the house, which was a plus for us, as it was easy enough to baby-proof. We loved the proximity to Henry Cowell State Park and Santa Cruz beaches.

This is an excellent place to go for relaxation. There's an amazing large covered deck. The was the home is built on the slope you are high up and feel like you're in a tree house since you're surrounded by redwoods. It's tranquil and yet you still have access to the town for groceries and restaurants and it's easy to pop into Santa Cruz.

nice place with some problems
We enjoyed staying there, but we ran into a bunch of minor annoyance that could be easily fixed: 1) The Internet password emailed to us in advance and on the paperwork in the house is WRONG - if you enter it as written, with a capital H in the middle, it won't work. We had to call on the phone to be told the correct password - same as written but with a lower-case h. 2) The instructions on the AV equipment were confusing (specifically, they tell you push a button on the remote control that does not exist), and we never did find a way to do what we wanted: watch Netflix on line. 3) There's no drying rack for dishes you've washed. 4) The stopper for the bathtub is too small - it falls down into the drain, and it was a pain to get it out. 5) You should warn people not to turn directly into the carport after coming up the driveway - the geometry of the paving is such that you'll get a major scrape to the bottom of your car, as we did. Tell people to drive forward onto the gravel, then (if they want) back into the carport.
