Great cabin in the woods

Fabulous, quiet, right in the redwood forest, surrounded by 50 large redwoods. Short drive to trails. Bit of a drive to get there, as expected.Good house instructions.Kitchen was OK, but short on some things - hotpads, only 5 forks.Could have used a few more blankets.

Cozy comfy abode!

We were looking for a cozy comfy cabin in the redwoods and this was perfect! The woodstove kept us nice and warm, and everything about the home worked well- from the well appointed kitchen to the lovely soaking tub super comfy beds. Plenty of firewood, great entertainment options ( movies music huge screen!) And access to cute mountain towns and glorious hikes! Thanks for sharing your adorable spot, we’d love to come back someday.

Good stay!

What a fantastic little gem in the Santa Cruz Mountains could not have asked for a better place as a short little getaway. The attention to detail and everything you could possibly need was right there for us with the possibility to escape to great restaurants nearby. Loved the set up of the house in the ferry. Ring of trees in the backyard was amazing. Will definitely be back amazing place!

Back at Work and Now I’m Reminiscing…

Jake and Michelle’s place is gorgeous and I honestly wish we spent more time at the home itself (we had a relatively full agenda). To note, it was hot in Boulder Creek (~95 F) during our stay, but the house maintained a great temperature with the downstairs feeling like it had AC the whole time. Upstairs does get a bit warmer but it didn’t feel uncomfortable especially with all of the windows/fans. We were also mindful of opening all windows upstairs/downstairs in the early morning and then locking up before the heat (this was a treat as you really draw in the mountain crisp air). The house has great features that make it comfortable, including the downstairs bathroom and big master room. Furthermore, they have a gate that is thoughtfully placed in front of the stairs and easy to lock in place (it is optional to set up, but helped us out with our two toddlers). Overall, I didn’t have to contact Jake much because the stay took care of itself, but he was very prompt, helpful, and understanding. I would honestly love to stay here again if I ever have plans in the area. After all, I didn’t quite get to enjoy a calm early morning coffee under the redwoods (kids lol), perhaps next time.

The Escape we needed in the Redwoods

Wonderful space to unwind and relax in nature. Close to so many enjoyable places. The hosts thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Would highly recommend to family and friends. We took in a concert at Mountain Winery in Saratoga and it was the perfect retreat for a memorable weekend.

Fantastic location!

This was THE most enjoyable vacation rental we have ever experienced. They really had thought about everything! There are so many things that we always pack of our own, but at this property we could literally have just brought our clothes and hygiene stuff and we would have been OK. Will DEFINITELY go back again.

Perfect space to explore the Redwoods

We loved staying in this beautiful house nestled in a dizzying skyline of redwoods..The chef's kitchen was ideal for us and on one occasion, when we had trouble figuring out the TV volume, the owner got back to me within a minute. (The surround sound will make you feel like you're in a movie theatre). We also loved the copper bath, the fire pit outside and driving around the local area. The local town, Boulder Creek felt like a movie set and the supermarkets sell high end organic produce and great wines. We will return!

Cozy Home!

What a lovely home this was! They provided a great explanation of how to use the wood burning stove with pictures included! Unfortunately it was raining during the few days we were there but we were able to use the little axe throwing set out back the day of check out! It is a cool plastic set so no worries about anyone getting hurt! They were very responsive to any messages sent. Definitely recommend this spot to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Jake & Michelle Richmond

Host profile image
Jake, originally from San Diego, and Michelle, from the city of Shaoyang in China, found a shared passion for the redwoods and life in Silicon Valley. With three energetic children and a love for travel and great food, they always valued finding balance amidst life’s bustle. A few years back, during the height of COVID, they discovered the perfect home—a cozy sanctuary among the redwoods, a place to relax and reconnect away from the pandemic chaos.

What began as an escape soon became their first true family home, a peaceful haven that offered them a deep connection to nature. Over time, they realized this home was too special to keep all to themselves. Now, with work and family activities pulling them closer to town, they’ve decided to share their serene spot with others. Here, they hope guests can find the same rejuvenating peace they have—a quiet, calming retreat filled with nature's beauty and charm.

Why they chose this property

It was the experience peace and tranquility with easy access to everything vibrant in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This retreat-style home offers the perfect balance: secluded enough for relaxation, yet conveniently close to everything a family, group of friends, or colleagues could desire!

What makes this property unique

Located in a gated parcel the cabin has been commented quite a few times by guests that mention it feels very private, safe and exclusive.
