Anniversary Getaway

This is our 3rd (or perhaps our 4th) stay at Red Barn Cottage and we continued to be amazed at all the thoughtful amenities provided. Lynn and Lee pay attention to every detail including fresh-cut flowers, a sweet anniversary card and wine to celebrate our special occasion. This sweet cottage is a quiet, charming and wonderful place to unwind, connect and refresh! Thank you, Lynn and Lee, for pampering us so very well!

Fantastic Find

Red Barn Cottage was fantastic. Upon arrival we quickly saw Lynne had anticipated our every need. The Cottage was filled with small but thoughtful "extras". We wanted to spend time with the Redwoods and this location was perfect for our daily adventures. The cottage, cozy but not too small. We had dreaded the idea of a hotel for multiple days since we had already been travelling over a week. The cottage allows us to settle, unpack, and reorganize in a very lovely spot and great value. We will definitely return.

7th Anniversary Trip

This was our second stay at the Red Barn Cottage and it didn't disappoint! It was as lovely with the attention to detail that we experienced the first time. Fresh eggs, homemade pumpkin choc chip muffins and all the fixings for breakfasts were at the ready. We were pampered in this serence and quiet getaway cottage. Thank you, Lynne and Lee, for the beautiful anniversary flowers and card! This cottage is truly a gem!

Red Barn Cottage

Spotlessly clean, a well-furnished kitchen, soft towels, comfortable bed and little niceties like candies, pod coffee choices and a bottle of wine on the counter. I was pleasantly surprised and would return in a heartbeat.

Perfect getaway

We came to town for a dog sporting event, the property is in walking distance to the fair grounds, which was the venue we were attending. The space is perfect for two people, clean and completely stocked with snacks, coffee, breakfast items. The space is spotless and bed was super comfortable. We loved ambience of the town!
