Cozy forest escape

Although kind of hard to find initially (definitely recommend arriving during daylight!), once we arrived and settled in, it was a lovely stay. Very quiet and secluded - it felt like we had our own little forest to enjoy. Everything was as described and we enjoyed cooking our own dinners onsite. The hot tub was clean and a highlight for all each day! Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful cozy home

The property was exactly as expected. The bunk beds were a hit with our kids! The views of the big trees from the living room was incredible, it felt like we were in a forest. Everything was today, the location was perfect. The instructions to find the property were super detailed and helpful. Highly recommend!

Sweet Getaway

Pictures were accurate but important to note it is not as secluded as it looks. Lovely property, totally perfect for us! Just immediately off a busy road, not as nestled in the trees as the pictures make it seem. Would stay here again!

Perfect Family Getaway

I’m so grateful I found this home. It had everything we needed and more. We spent most of our time in the cozy living room where all the windows look out to trees. It feels remote, but is very close to town if you need any groceries. Kitchen had all the tools we needed to make a Thanksgiving meal. Games, puzzles, books and movies for everyone. I would certainly book again!

Beautiful

Location was great, though a little hard to find (its located behind another house, and theres no marking or indication of where to go, as you cant see the house from the base of the driveway). The hot tub was not operational, which was a little disappointing but not really a big deal. Very peaceful, and comfortable stay. Would stay here again for sure

cozy house with EVERYTHING you could need, but super hard to find

Very well stocked house in the woods basically. Cute extra little cabin. Very clean and tastefully appointed. Unfortunately the description of how to get there was super frustrating. Google map and Maps pointed the address between highway 9 and a crazy little scary road parallel to the highway. The house is exactly between those two roads but access is on highway 9 on a blind curve and the driveway goes up between two houses. Unlighted number and unlighted driveway. We almost had to leave because we couldn't find it (it was night). Fortunately, kind neighbors directed us to the drive way. I gave the property managers some pictures and suggestions about better communicating the actual location and how to find it. Hopefully they will listen and help out their guests to find this great home. Property managers also wanted us to leave by 10, which is early but the instructions we had said 11. Kind of rude but otherwise great stay.

Amazing location!

Slight glitch checking in, but management company was very helpful. The driveway and road were not an issue for us at all once we got the hang of it. We did not even hear the road from the house, all we could hear was the small waterfall and the wind through the beautiful redwoods. We loved the patio and hot tub. The towns in the mountains provided plenty of hiking, great restaurants, and exploring. The cabin had everything we needed for cooking and grilling out. Up the hill is a hammock area and walking access to the road that goes to the Brookdale Lodge. Our family had an amazing time, can highly recommend! Our kids are 21 & 23, great family trip!!

We could not say enough about how much we loved our stay! Suzanne’s mountain house had everything we could possibly have needed and more. From the cozy fire, to the hot tub surrounded by beautiful scenery, to the comfy beds & fully stocked kitchen, everything was perfect! We can’t wait to be able to plan a return visit!

Excellent family cabin loaded with extras!

We had an awesome stay at the Mountain House! It was clean and check in was easy! The kids especially loved all the extra board games you had to offer. It was great to unplug and spend quality family time. Perfect central location for taking in the sights, hiking and going to the beach. Our favorites were visiting Natural Bridge state beach at low tide, the giant redwoods and exploring Capitola. Wonderful stay!

Very comfortable & well-equipped home

Thank you to our hosts for your warm welcome and sharing your sweet home with us. We were a bit apprehensive about pets being allowed but the house was spotless. We wondered if six adults would be a bit of a squash but there was plenty of room and comfortable chairs. Everyone slept well with good mattresses and extra blankets. The kitchen is very well-equipped and the decor just as you might like at home. Certainly recommend.

We needed a little getaway close to home and Brookdale was just the perfect place.

Fully equipped kitchen, cozy living room with a beautiful view of the forest and the highlight for us was the hot tub. Only minutes away from downtown and short drive to Santa Cruz beaches. The host was very communicative and helpful. Definitely recommend this place for any family looking for a getaway.

Magical!

We spent 5 nights in this beautiful cabin and loved our stay.. We are fellow Vrbo hosts and very quickly realized that we had scored a real gem! The property is in a beautiful setting in the middle of a lush forest with incredible views out of every window. Perfect layout for our family of 4. Huge deck, hot tub, skylights, nicely remodeled, great kitchen and we even had a washer and dryer. We spent our evenings sitting by the gas fireplace watching tv, enjoying the hot tub or playing board games. We were thoroughly impressed by how clean, organized and well stocked this place is. All the little details did not go unnoticed and the host was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend this place to anyone and hope to return in the future.

Magical Cozy Family Friendly Stay

This place was incredible for our family of 4. They had everything a family with young kids could need from sound machines to wonderful toys and books. The property was so well appointed and the best kitchen setup we’ve had at a vacation rental in a while. The outdoor space was enchanting with waterfall sounds from a wet weather creek just beyond the deck, great gathering places with the fire pit and hot tub and table, as well as places for the kids to “explore” up the hillside. Highly recommend this gem of a vacation spot!
