1 night at Comfy Studio Near Trails & Beaches

This is a fully modern cabin updated and beautiful. Everything was well thought out and communicated either with notes on the property or in text/email. The property is luscious with gardens among oak trees and bird feeders which attracted many birds to the site.

Weekend Trip to Camp Jaron

Really loved this campsite! Best parts were how private it felt and the large space. Also was in a very safe area and had fun swings and other cool amenities for our 4 yr old to use. We even saw a deer up close! It was a good first camping experience for our toddlers. You definitely need four wheel drive to get up and though the cabin was nice to have, there was evidence of mice, so this is a better space for the pure camping experience—which was great for us to use our tent and experience sleeping outdoors for the first time with our little ones (age 4 and 2).

Weekend Trip to Delta Respite

Peaceful get away. Sweetest dog in the world. And the hosts are friendly, kind, and really make you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a cute little cabin getaway not too far from the Bay Area, this may be the place for you!

Weekend Trip to May's Luxury Farmstays

This was a beautiful quiet cabin right on ridge-line of the Santa Cruz mountains. The host was accommodating and provided delicious fresh eggs, snacks, coffee, and beer. I would visit again. My kids enjoyed it. It was just right for 2 adults and 2 kids. The bed was very comfortable but I could not have slept on the foldable couch. Overall, I loved it.

1 night at Delta Respite

Really enjoyed the quiet and nature hard to find traveling for work. It’s perfect for 1 person, hotel or cabin? I look forward to next time take a longer walk. Took a walk around the property at sunset, beautiful view, relaxing at the end of the day and then a bath! The best after driving 8hours. The birds, coyote and nature whats not to love.

Weekend Trip to May's Luxury Farmstays

My husband and I had such a lovely stay. I felt like a kid at summer camp, I almost cried because I didn’t want to go home! The house has everything you could need, it has quirks but expected for a Hipcamp! The pond has so many beautiful fish, and you can feed them. The chickens, roosters, ducks and goose are all friendly and have their own personality. Sometimes we got a chicken fashion show along the deck through the sliding glass door. Every room has a view out to the pond and mountain range/ocean. The view from the deck or the pond are incredible. We got rain one of the days we were there and it didn’t matter, we still had an amazing view and cozied up with a puzzle we’d brought. There are other cabins on either side of you, but you have reasonable privacy. We got lucky and there weren’t bookings on both sides at the same time during our stay, YMMV. We were so close to trails, on the day we got good weather we visited the redwoods. That night I enjoyed a bath in the outdoor tub, to soak my tired bones, it was magical! We’re already talking about going back, our new happy place.

1 night at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

Love this place! Like staying at a high-end airbnb, but in a better location and with a nice hike to get there. Win all around.

Weekend Trip to May's Luxury Farmstays

We felt very welcomed. The cabin was everything we imagined and more. The hosts meticulously made sure we had everything we could need or want for our vacation. All you’ll need to do is pack your clothes. Literally. They have a beautiful property. The chickens and roosters are people friendly and so adorable. We thought we would hear the roosters but we didn’t. They provide earplugs by the bedside if you need them. But you won’t. Being close to all the animals we thought we might smell the coop but there wasn’t a foul smell anywhere on the property. The pond is beautiful. The host indicated we could wade in the pond but the weather was bad. The trails were right off the property and beautiful. I always like to report the good and ugly about our experiences at locations we visit. Reviews from past visitors give you the real lowdown of the place. I’m sorry but there wasn’t a negative I can think of. Honestly I want to move in!

Weekend Trip to May's Luxury Farmstays

We had a wonderful stay here! I stayed with my family for one night, and we all loved it. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed-including fresh eggs, snacks, and drinks. You can tell they have put a lot of care into making sure guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway with beautiful views and great hospitality

1 night at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

We loved our night at Audrey Edna, we took our 3 month old on her first mini backpacking trip and we had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend this as a good beginner backpacking experience, the cabin had everything we could need and more. We saw lots of wildlife, including a bobcat!

Amazing - love this spot!! It was very well equipped and clean + the location and views are excellent! The hike to the cabin (with a wagon) was a little harder than we expected (mostly uphill with a few steep sections), but the way back to the parking lot was a breeze.

1 night at Swallowtail Historic Art Studio

What a gorgeous and special place! The rooms are beautifully designed with endless interesting anrt and books to check out. The hot tub with a view is the perfect way to unwind, and I was lucky enough to hear great horned owls at night. Coffee and breakfast in the morning were an unexpected and lovely treat. Absolutely great place to stay!

I loved my stay in May’s log cabin. I got a tour of the land when I arrived which was very interesting and Jon gave me direction to a couple of places for hiking right from the property. This Hipcamp is incredibly clean AND there is awesome coffee, tons of snacks/beer/alcohol/soda - and fresh eggs waiting for you in the fridge! I enjoyed my stay so much I just rebooked my ticket back home and booked 4 more nights!

The cabin is in such a beautiful spot! It was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed watching wildlife in the morning and relaxing on the front deck at night. The kitchen has everything you need. The heater worked great and we were very cozy. Can’t wait to go back!

1 night at Delta Respite

I loved staying at the cabin. It’s so close to town, yet feels like you are far away in the countryside, with chickens and birds and trees all around, and the water is just a short walk away. Waking up to the sound of birdsongs and rustling leaves, without any noise from cars, people or airplanes, felt like a dream come true. It was also such a pleasure to meet the lovely hosts—and of course, sweet and friendly dog Willie! ❤️❤️❤️

This gorgeous cabin is the perfect solution to the workaday existence so many of us have. The hike in is manageable, and once you arrive you are met with a beautifully designed cabin with complete kitchen, two bathrooms and ample sleeping areas. It was designed without showers to encourage short-term visits. sweeping views and abundant wildlife including a residential flock of wild turkeys.

I loved staying at Harlan's Hideaway. It was a cozy little cabin with all the amenities. It had a beautiful view of the forest, beautiful landscape. There were other campsites and cabins around, but they weren't loud at all. Great experience.

Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

1 site · Lodging350 acres · Loma Mar, CA

Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) protects open space on the Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all. Situated on top of a ridge with expansive redwood forest and coastal views, the Audrey Edna Cabin provides a completely private gathering place and destination for visitors with reservations. The cabin has spectacular views of forest, sky, ocean and the Butano ridgeline. It's a short hike to 8000+ acres of county parkland where you can hike, bike and ride horses (though please note, there are no facilities for horse boarding at the cabin.) The cabin is located at Alpine Ranch, a property adjacent to Sam McDonald County Park that was protected by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). Whether you are looking for an active experience or just want to relax in a peaceful, remote setting, there's something here for everyone. This is a rustic hike-in cabin designed for a introductory pack-in experience. Bedding is not provided. It is about a 1.7-mile hike on a rolling dirt road from the Sam McDonald County Park parking lot, with about 650 feet of elevation gain. Most hikers can reach the cabin in an hour or less. Guests should plan to arrive at least 2 hours before sunset, and pack water and flashlights or headlamps. Guests with limited mobility, please contact us for information regarding accommodations that will allow you to access this shared resource. *A note about reservation availability: On the weekends, POST offers priority reservations for the cabin to our partners at the San Mateo County Health Department and Park Rx to provide patients with equitable access to the benefits of nature. Occasionally, we have last-minute public weekend reservation availability due to cancellations. The cabin is reservable up to 3 months in advance, on a rolling basis. Love the idea of a hike-in cabin, but unable to visit us Sunday-Thursday? Check out the nearby Sierra Club Hiker's Hut in Sam McDonald County Park. Property History: At one time, the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains was a thriving center for trade between tribes of the coast and the bay, which we still find evidence of today in cultural sites and artifacts throughout the region. Native people have cared for this land since time immemorial, including the local Muwekma and Ramaytush Ohlone who are still active in the area today. This property specifically is host to a tributary to one of just a handful of waterways that support salmonids in this region, which are a species of tremendous importance to native people. Over 1000 acres here were eventually purchased by entrepreneur Ridgeway Rowley, who built a home on the ranch in the 1880s as part of an unsuccessful wedding proposal to Fannie Page, daughter of a local mill owner (ever heard of Page Mill Road?) After being rejected by Fannie, Rowley operated the ranch for a decade in conjunction with his work as District Attorney and publisher of the Palo Alto Weekly, before eventually returning to his hometown of Cortland, NY, where he lived as a bachelor until his death. Over the course of the 20th century, the ranch was divided, some parts of which became Pescadero Creek County Park. POST purchased the 350 acre home property, now called Alpine Ranch, in 2012 through our Heart of the Redwoods campaign, an initiative to protect 20,000 acres of Redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Alpine Ranch borders Pescadero Creek County Park and Sam McDonald County Park, adding to the area’s protected open space and containing more than a mile of tributaries to Pescadero Creek, which flows year-round and is a major spawning stream for steelhead trout. The Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch is situated at one of the property's most scenic overlooks. The cabin was built in the early 1900's, and completely reconstructed up to modern building codes by POST in 2018 so that all could enjoy this special place.

Completely private 19 acres to explore while only being 10 min from downtown Los Gatos (FYI has great cell reception). We have a small cabin that has a mattress that sleeps 2 and a futon below for 1. Also plenty of flat empty land to pitch tents. There is a compost toilet and an outdoor shower with running hot water. There is plenty of room to explore, half of the property is pretty dense wilderness but the main half has hammocks, slack line, fire pit, bbq, tables, etc. *FYI due to the steep driveway (see pic) the property is only accessible by AWD or 4-wheel drive SUV or truck; cars, vans, or RVs will not be able to make it (if you are not sure please ask before booking).
