Quiet & peaceful - private restroom/private entry.

DavidRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Everything exceeded requirements. I could not have been better treated from a hotel. The room is completely private from the house. The bathroom and fixtures appear newly renovated. Plus a small refrigerator/freezer and beautifully set up tea, coffee and snack display. The satin bed cover added elegance. I never saw my hosts, nor needed to. but they contacted me daily to ask if I needed anything or tell me about local places to visit. I could not have been more pleased.

Redwood Treehouse Retreat

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We loved our stay! The location was ideal for us, just a few minutes from a beautiful redwoods park and a short drive to the coast. This part of California is tucked away from the busy crowds of the Bay Area and feels remote. The Loma Mar outpost offers basic provisions and a restaurant a few minutes from the house, and Pescadero has a strip of shops and restaurants about ten minutes away. The house is lovely and comfortable, very peaceful.

Redwood Grove Retreat

JackieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Our stay at Brookes home was great! The space was incredibly clean and comfortable. We felt very comfortable and safe. I wish I could have stayed longer, but the space was beautiful outside even after the storm. We had a small hiccup trying to get the lock to work, but Brooke was super fast with her response & helped us get in quickly. 10/10 would stay again!

My husband and I stayed at the Redwood Ridge Tree Fort to celebrate his retirement. Bethany had a bottle of sparkling cider with two champagne glasses and a sweet card set out to welcome us. Bethany has many amenities ready for guests. Weather was perfect. Cool mornings for hiking and comfortable in the afternoon. At night the fairy lights and fire pit is a magical experience! Thank you for wonderful time!
