2 nights at Buddha Room RV glamping, Redwoods
This is one of the greatest places i’ve ever stayed!! I’ve stayed at a lot of glamping-type places, and this one is top tier. Every bit of the space is SO beautiful, so thoughtfully done and beyond relaxing. It’s a perfect mix of comfort & has really nice balance with the indoor/outdoor areas - there’s a nice cozy RV pod for sleeping, lots of heaters everywhere & the outdoor kitchenette & outdoor shower are both soo lovely. Stayed in the middle of February and was very warm at night with the heated blanket in the RV :)) Melissa is a phenomenal and super welcoming host who really cares about her guests! I would absolutely recommend this place is you find yourself nearby!!

Weekend Trip to The Coastal Redwood Cabin | Creek
This is a lovely place to go for a little R&R! Easy to get to, serene location nestled within the redwoods. There's stairs that lead you to the river. Comfortable bed and good quality bedding, complimentary snacks and coffee. We went in November so the hottub was perfect for the cool nights. Close by Capitola, which we love to visit and did some hiking at Nisene Mark's State Park. We recommend this spot and may be back next year.

We had the greatest time!! Spent a weekend with our 15 month old and two dogs. There was so much for our toddler to explore, plus enough privacy to not have to worry about our dogs barking at every little noise. Gorgeous property, convenient location, thoughtful accommodations, wonderful host. Will definitely come back to enjoy the summer season!

Weekend Trip to Moon Crest Valley Ranch
We had such an incredible experience here! My friend and I stayed here for some yapping and immersing in nature time together over the weekend - the land is BEAUTIFUL overlooking some incredible canyons. There’s so much to do here, we frolicked around on some hikes, played a bit of baseball up on the hill, made a campfire and enjoyed the complimentary smore kit. Brendan provided absolutely everything we needed - he was such an incredible and thoughtful host, greeted us when we arrived and also gave us a tour of the land! Overall, 10/10 experience, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to spend time here and would highly recommend staying for the weekend.

Beautiful land with spectacular views, birdsong and lovely farm animals. We were in nature but all essential amenities were thought of, and there were tons of games and activities for the entire family. Beautiful trails on property. Brendan was warm and welcoming, and visited the farm animals with our 5yo which he loved. We'll definitely be back.
