Thank you, Krista! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found our location cozy and clean. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you back for another wonderful visit!
My son and I spent a perfect weekend exploring the redwoods and the coast. The Mount Hermon Redwood Retreat was great for relaxing after our hikes. The beds were firm but comfortable. We didn’t cook but it had all we would’ve needed to make meals. The neighborhood is charming and we enjoyed an afternoon of roaming the trails in it. The cabin is close to everything. It was perfect for us. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at the Mount Hermon Redwood retreat. The kitchen was fully stocked. Very clean and well organized. We really enjoyed cooking dinner. The town of Felton was adorable. We went to the Redwood Loop Trail that was very close and it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

A writers retreat
Comfortable and serene surroundings. Lovely redwoods. Great hikes nearby. But we came to write. Very quiet for that.
Only Interruption was construction or some kind of maintenance going on.
The property is very nice inside, quiet. The parking instructions showed to park by a tree, but there was parking spaces for Unit A and B. If the labeled Unit B parking space is for this rental, then the online instructions should be updated.
Cute, small half-duplex home, shoehorned in nice tree-covered neighborhood. Prime location for us. Liked front deck with picnic table. Comfortable bed. Extensively remodeled but with gaps (e.g. floor a/c unit in kitchen, tiny table). Lack of airflow required open windows. Neighbor noises unavoidable.
Inside, except for some cobwebs, it was neat and clean. Outside, the deck was covered with twigs and leaves when we arrived. My wife spent a few minutes addressing this - not a big deal. The neighborhood has several small cabins close by, but inside is was peaceful. There was a problem with the drinking water, and the owner brought bottled water. Any questions were answered promptly via email/VRBO app. Our only true negative is the price of an hour in the hot tub - it seems geared to a larger party, not a couple. We wish the price had been in the listing. Overall a positive and recommended stay near Santa Cruz.
