Tanoak Casita is tucked into our backyard, a forever work in progress stewardship of organic fruits, flowers and vegetables. You'll hear songbirds, (and our chickens) in the morning and crickets at night. We are located in Corralitos, a sleepy valley nestled between Mount Madonna and Monterey Bay. Enjoy a quieter, pastoral setting where you can still smell the sea on the morning fog. Fifteen minutes south of Santa Cruz, renowned for world-class waves and high vibes, and 90 minutes north of Big Sur, a vortex of dramatic cliffs, epic hiking, and wild history - we love it out here, and we hope you do, too. Tanoak Casita is designed with sustainability, beauty, and serenity in mind. The bedroom features a queen-sized bed, outfitted with linen sheets over an organic mattress, topped with an eco-friend latex topper. Overseen by a luminous four-foot diameter round window, the bedroom flooring is recovered white oak planks with natural limestone plaster walls soaring up to a 14-foot apex with transom windows and skylights. The bathroom is Saltillo tile floors, its warm tones reflected in a rosy Travertine stone sink and complemented by an oceanic blue shower stall. All fixtures are patinated brass, from the plumbing to the light fixtures. A perfect place to tune out OR tune up, the Casita has strong wifi for working remotely at the breakfast bar or outside under the trees. Enjoy locally roasted coffee and organic teas in the morning out on the redwood deck before you plunge into your day's adventures!

Such bliss
What a serene place. I ended up getting a migraine while I was there and had all the comfort I could possible need to rest and recover. I drank so much for their wonderful coffee and tea, enjoyed their exquisite shower, slept soundly on the wonderful bed, and was able to wash some clothes I’d wore at the beach prior to checking in. The wildlife was amazing at night and in the morning. Bird sounds, owls, other little critters. I truly can’t say enough is this wonderful place. You don’t need to bring much with you when you come. Most all you need is provided. Really hope I can get back ti stay here again.

Cozy in nature
I was hoping that hip camp would help me find really great places to stay and I was not disappointed. Kitty and jacobs, lovely little hidden gem was the perfect place to fill like I was alone in the forest. It was really comfortable in the bathroom was huge. I really enjoyed the attention to detail. The really soft sheets and obvious emphasis on using organic materials. Wanted to do a lot of hiking in the redwoods and walking on the beach and we found both very close by. My new favorite place to stay while I am in the Santa Cruz area.

private, lush, comfortable
Jacob and Katie have a beautiful property, and the tent is well-stocked and furnished. My boyfriend and I had a great, comfortable 2-night getaway. It has all the perks of glamping- a comfy bed, electricity, bathroom + shower in their main house, with all of the privacy and nature you're looking for if you were actually camping. The tent is in their backyard, but it's so lush and private. I was amazed by it all. Katie was available easily via text and was super helpful, and I got to throw a ball around with their puppy :) I also really appreciated the 11 AM checkout time, with very minimal cleanup required (basically none, they just ask you to put the dishes you use outside the tent). Thank you so much Jacob and Katie!

A great weekend getaway
Such a unique, lovely stay! The tent has everything you need - blankets, pillows, a very comfortable bed, chairs, coffee maker, ice chest - Katie & Jacob didn't miss a beat. The bathroom was also very nice and a super short walk from the tent. The tent is tucked away in the backyard and was very quiet and peaceful. Really enjoyed my stay!

The yurt was very cozy and peaceful. Located at the back of the property which gave us a good amount of privacy. There was plenty of blankets to help keep us warm. The bed was very cozy as well. I would highly recommend staying here if you would like a new experience.

Great stay!
What a great place to stay! This was our first hipcamp experience, so we weren’t sure what to expect. This glamp was located in Jacob and Katie’s backyard, but there was a lot of privacy and the bathroom was also so convenient! The space heater and extra blankets provided definitely helped us keep warm. Would definitely recommend.
