Redwood Retreat: Hot Tub, Outdoor Kitchen & Fire

Great place to share with lots of friends. Had a small plumbing issue upon arrival, however, the host responded immediately and sent a plumber right away. Did not impact the stay. Beautiful grounds and comfortable rooms.

Nice location. Visited the redwoods and enjoyed that. Some beautiful trees and trees stumps on the lot. Some of the property is a bit dated. Three bathrooms made it a little tight for our large group. Sofa and coffee table were a bit big for that living room. Hot tub and yard was very nice.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The house and backyard are both so beautiful, and the location was private and quiet. We had children with us, and it was very thoughtful of the hosts to include toys for them in the bunk room, and a baby gate! We were able to get an early check-in which was MUCH appreciated. Check in and check out were very simple, and the hosts offered great communication and wonderful recommendations of things to do.Regarding cleanliness, I would give 3-4/5 stars. There were some stains/goop on various walls that could’ve been easily wiped away; unopened candy in the bunk room (choking hazard for dogs/kids); as well as trash under the couch (including food wrappers). The beds seemed clean though, and that’s always my #1 priority.The home came with lots of amenities including televisions and WiFi, but unfortunately, these were not all working. The TV in the master bedroom seems to be having an issue with the screen as it was so dim (despite the brightness being turned to 100%), it was basically impossible to see. The TV in the bunkroom was also non-working. The WiFi did not reach the basement or master bedroom barely at all, and didn’t reach the separate cabin at all so that TV was useless, as well. This was disappointing. I was also a little perturbed that I was unable to find basic cleaning supplies, like a vacuum or even extra paper towels (we were only left with 1/2 roll). Overall, I would stay again despite these minor issues.

We had a great time during our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed, including some great local recommendations in their guidebook. Jon was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The location was also perfect for exploring the National Redwood Forest. We'd love to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Jon & Katie’s beautiful home. My family, ranging in age from 14-85 yo, stayed for four nights to attend my niece’s wedding. The home was spacious, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. With so many bedrooms we were easily able to spread out, and the varied living/gathering spaces made relaxation and hanging out fun. The outdoor fire pit, hammocks, corn hole etc were the cherry on top. Jon &Katie were very communicative, responding quickly and helpfully. We would recommend their home without reservation.
