10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
Oz, the host, was super responsive at booking, before our arrival, and throughout our stay. When we had a question, she replied with an answer. The cottage was exactly as described: cozy and nestled among the redwoods. The space was clean and comfortable. It was exactly what we were looking for in an extra long weekend retreat to rest, relax, and recharge. Our pup appreciated the extra dog bed so she could lounge and stare out the French doors or curl up in front of the stove. The raised dog bowls even matched the decor!Thanks for the hospitality!Note: try to arrive when it’s still light out, if possible! We ran late and it was dark, rainy, and foggy as we navigated up into the mountains. Despite the excellent landmarks provided by Oz, and GPS by Waze, we missed the driveway on our first attempt. Just take it easy on the winding roads!
