Massive Redwoods surround you while you stay at this amazing retreat home in Mount Hermon. Any kids in your group will be blown away by the tree house bunk room with climbing wall. Relax in the back yard inside the spa, at the huge picnic table or on the adirondack chairs while enjoying the majestic giant trees.
Steps away from the adventure courses of Mount Hermon and many creek trails. Twenty minutes to the Boardwalk and 15 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz.

Guest access
There is plenty of space for three cars in our parking spots front of the home. The road to the home is very narrow, so drive carefully and be mindful of neighbors.
Other things to note
While this home is set up for a medium to large group, this is not a party house. The home is located in the middle of a tightknit community and we ask that all guests be respectful of their surroundings.
Also, the access to the bunk room is THROUGH the queen bedroom. So privacy is somewhat limited for guests sleeping in the queen bedroom.
This house is in the middle of a redwood forest. Redwood trees are notorious for constantly dropping branches, fronds and seedpods. As such, the deck and yard will likely have these materials strewn about even if the house was just cleaned. Also, because it is a forest, the terrain can be rough in the backyard and may not be suitable for children who are prone to injury. Please keep an eye on your children while outside.
