Tucked away in the Portola Redwoods, you will find your very own bohemian grove. Designed by prominent architect in San Francisco, your will find 4 comfortable cabins, modern open kitchen and spa-like bathrooms. Less than an hour away from the Silicon Valley, this is our weekend sanctuary. Like John Muir once said - “Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”Welcome to our family retreat in the Portola Redwoods. Our property boarders the Portola Redwood State Park. It is 50 minutes drive from 280 Sandhill exit. Sleep in the comfortable tent cabin, enjoy the modern kitchen and bathrooms surrounded by redwoods. Less than an hour from Sandhill Rd/280 but feels like a world away. There are 4 tent cabins, with comfortable bed, heating blanket, reading light.  Bring your own food and cook in our modern open kitchen (we provide all the basics) and BBQ grill.  Comfortable bathrooms with hot shower and we have basic toiletry if you forget to bring your own. Check-in time is after 2pm. (Please provide a 2 hour arrival window the day before) Check-out is 12pm Site/Cabin Description - sleep 10, total 7 beds. #1 One queen size bed. #2 Japanese Style tatami cabin with 2 twin memory foam mattress. #3 One full size bed and one twin bed #4 One full size bed and one twin bed If you want to adventure to nearby spots, here are some nearby attractions: Portola Redwoods State Park (0-5 minute): Waldhaus borders the state park, and is 5 minutes drive to the park office. Eighteen miles of trails follow meandering creeks, where moisture-loving coast redwoods stand tall among ferns and huckleberries. Waterfalls on Fall and Pescadero creeks tumble down mossy banks over rocks and woody debris. Day use hours are 6am-sunset. Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve (15 min) showy display of wildflowers in spring. In summer, the hills turn to gold with the late evening sunlight. Autumn, when the fog recedes, is the ideal time to enjoy the ridge views of San Francisco Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains Thomas Fogarty Winery (20 minutes). Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Wines are good quality and tastings range from affordable to expensive. Outdoor patio for enjoying your wine is a great plus. On a clear day you could see the Bay and San Francisco. 19501 Skyline Blvd. Wed-Sun. 12pm-4pm Mon. Closed Tue. Memorial Park at Loma Mar (20 minutes) - old-growth redwoods and creek Pomponio State Beach and Pescadero State Beach and Bean Hollow State Beach (50 - 60 minutes): This area provides access to miles of gently sloping, sandy beaches at the base of high sandstone bluffs.
