Redwood Tent Top Cabin in the Oaks

Joseph clearly communicated directions and info prior to our stay and kindly stopped by each day to check on us and ask if we needed anything. We stayed in cabin #2, and it was perfect and exactly as expected based on the pictures. It was calm and lovely to have breakfast and dinner at the cabin and also a beautiful, meandering country drive through Carmel Valley and into Monterey and Point Lobos for daytime kayaking and hiking adventures.

I stayed at Joseph's cabin for 3 nights which was unfortunately timed because the first two days were at the tail end of a heatwave hitting California. It was hot during the day, but the area cooled off to a pleasant temperature through the night and luckily the cabin has windows with screens that open in every direction.

The location that the cabin is at is pretty open and if you're looking to get close to nature, you'll see your share of birds, squirrels, etc.. and the occasional deer. The cabin itself is quaint and clean. The only potential issue is if you are tall. I'm about 5' 8" and as you get to the end of the sloped roof, you do have the potential to hit your head.

The only other things to be aware of had less to do with Joseph or the cabin but more to do with the nature of well... nature and getting to the area itself.

With regards to nature, be aware there will be bugs. I don't think there is any good way to deal with them, it's just being out in nature, you just have to get used to the idea that you are never out there alone in nature...

With regards to getting there, the location is relatively remote and the drive there is interesting to say the least. If you have never driven in the area, I would avoid arriving late. The road is an undivided road that has room for 2 cars most of the time but has lots of curves and blind corners. During the day, it's kinda a fun drive.

It was a great experience! Tiny cabin with well stocked kitchen and grill. There is a great spot for star gazing right outside the cabin. One problem was bugs, but host provided insect repellent, which worked okay.

A great place to spend an evening and unwind!

Loved the cabin of Joseph! It was very nice and clean. You have all the space you need. Enjoyed the quitness. Would love to stay again.

Super creative and super DIY with charm cabin and kitchen space that was in a quiet space. I loved all the little thoughtful adds-- like the kitchen nook space, place to eat together on the wooden bar. I enjoyed the little table on my right side of the bed with the little paper roll to write notes.

Cool ice chest with ice from Joseph!

Joseph is a thoughtful and helpful host. We loved the outdoor kitchen and the space met our needs perfectly.

This cabin was lovingly crafted and is so cute and unique! We enjoyed it a lot.

Wonderful little cabin, gorgeous setting, excellent host. Another cabin is within sight, but there's plenty of space and privacy. The kitchen is well outfitted and there's lots of hot water. Cabin is decorated with lovely art and there's a heater in the bedroom. Looking forward to visiting again sometime.
