Redwood Treehouse Santa Cruz Mtns.

Wow! Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival and given helpful info about our stay. The treehouse was so peaceful and provided much needed relaxation. We spent our time cooking meals, reading on the deck, playing with Grey (seriously the nicest cat either of us have met), resting in the hot tub, and playing games. We hope to return again!

Our stay at the treehouse was unique and memorable! We bought groceries at Nob Hill before heading to the treehouse for a nice dinner & breakfast the next morning. It's quite a drive if you have to leave the house to get some groceries after you've arrived. The narrow trail is buried in the redwood forest which just added to the great experience we had. (Note: Try not to bring rolling luggage because it is a dirt trail) Once the treehouse was in view, Grey the cat greeted us and followed us down the trail. The house is quaint and cozy. Everything was clean and most amenities were available (linens, cookware, etc) The best part is waking up in the morning and seeing the lush redwoods outside through the window. We spent the day in Monterey, and were excited to come back to the treehouse for a quiet retreat and sleep. I recommend this to any couple who wants a little getaway into the woods!

This was an amazing experience! We loved it! Mary Jane and her family were wonderfully friendly. You are greeted and provided with a map when you arrive and then you are on your own to experience the magic of the "fogship beaver". Starting w a fun jaunt through the woods until you come upon the treehouse lit in twinkle lights. That's about when you meet Gray. Best treehouse kitty ever. The tree has everything you need to be perfectly content. Bring groceries and your good to go. There is even shower hygiene products provided. The photo album with the construction and back story on the treehouse and it's originator is a real treat. I think it can safely be said that when Randy Beaver built this wonderful place it has maintained all the magic it was Intended to have and carries on it's original purpose to serve. I hope to return again someday, though I know if I do, pleasant as it will be it will never be as awesome as our first trip. The only thing I would change is the bed. It is comfortable, but has a pronounced dip in the middle. But hey, that's where you meet your lover anyway, right? So maybe the beds just helping out ;) this will hands down be one of my favorite memories for all time. It was that much fun! The hot tub was a great bonus as well. And who doesn't like scrabble by candle light with your favorite person. Can't say it enough, GREAT WEEKEND!!!!! Thank you again, Mary Jane and family!!!

What a wonderful and beautiful treehouse! We had a great time staying there in the middle of winter. After we arrived and took our little walk to the treehouse, we were greeted by the friendly cat, Grey, who has a bed on the side of the house. The treehouse is quiet and surrounded by redwoods and especially gorgeous in the morning when the light comes through between the trees. We brought our groceries and had a really nice feast of steaks, sauteed abalone, and mushrooms. Heating worked great in there - it was very warm and cozy. We went hiking the next day at Wilder Ranch which has a trail along the coast. The whole experience was wonderful! I will definitely come back to this treehouse!

A cozy and unique spot in the redwood trees--we loved the hot tub under the stars and our weekend cat, Grey. Beautiful!

Absolutely loved it! Such a cozy little place and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Gray's company made it extra special. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Treehouse was fantastic and Mary Jane was super sweet, met us right when we got there, explained where everything was and gave us a number to call if we had any issues, extremely helpful!

We had an adventure staying in the Treehouse. It was very quaint. Unfortunately we picked the first heavy rain of the season and being in the forest it was a little noisy. The bed was very cozy and in spite of the rain we did manage to tune things out and sleep. The gray kitty cat was very friendly and greeted us in the morning. We brought our dinner, wine and breakfast with us which made it very convenient. Mary Jane was a good host.

Dragonfly Cottage is everything that Mary Jane promised it would be. Quiet. Picturesque. Romantic. Gorgeous! I slept so well there - and viewed shooting stars from the hot tub.
The piano sounds great - and the energy of the cottage is one of peace and positivity. I felt all of my cares slip away while I was there.

Thanks, Mary Jane! I'll be back!

Not only was MaryJane beyond helpful in the booking process around any questions that I had, but this place was gorgeous. Our favorite part was the privacy of it while still having the comfort of knowing she was on the property up the hill. The views are beautiful, the deck was perfect for reading and hot tea, and the private hot tub was magical. I highly recommend this rental, especially for the City folks looking for a peaceful retreat that is not to far of a drive.

As beautiful as the pictures depict the cottage, they still do not do the Dragonfly Cottage justice. The views from the hot tub (which was perfectly heated upon arrival, thanks Mary Jane!) were breathtaking, and the tranquility of being nestled within the SC mountains enveloped by dense redwood forests was unlike anything we had ever experienced. The interior was very cozy and creatively decorated with various plants. If you have any interest in truly "getting away from it all," do not hesitate to book this place.

We had an incredible stay at the Dragonfly Cottage! Quaint cabin, beautiful forested mountain setting, relaxing hot tub, what's not to love? Great place, and would highly suggest to anyone who is looking to get away and relax!

Tip: Try to arrive before it gets dark to check in - it was challenging to navigate. Also, be mindful of wildlife - were told that 3 mountain lions were seen nearby.

Wonderful place. The hummingbirds were amazing. Sunny, beautiful and peaceful. Many thanks.

The Dragonfly Cottage is a perfect and serene retreat. We slept so well and enjoyed waking up to a stunning view. Mary Jane is very responsive and provided great directions to the cottage and lots of information about nearby activities.

The Dragonfly Cottage was a wonderful getaway. My partner and I went on hikes, did some outside yoga in the sun, and enjoyed that oft-discussed hot tub (what a view!) A great weekend and Mary Jane was kind and accommodating.

We had an excellent time at the Dragonfly Cottage! The views were spectacular, and the cottage was exactly what we wanted. Mary Jane's rental had it all: comfortable bed, very functional kitchen, relaxing ambiance, not to mention the hot tub! We were looking for a respite, and that was exactly what we got. We will return, and next time for a longer stay!
