Short Stay in 36B

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.

Convenient home for Mt Hermon visit

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.

Peaceful forest

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.

Review

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.
