***** History & Character

This estate has a rich past—originally a private hunting lodge in the 1950's and ’60's, it’s now being made available to the public for the very first time. We’re currently collaborating with the San Lorenzo Valley Museum to document more of its hidden history.

For the last 40 years, it’s been home to former executives from Apple, Oracle, HP, Adobe, Nvidia, and Motorola. The home has been thoughtfully remodeled to the highest standards, while preserving its original charm, including the wood-look natural gas fireplace in the main lodge.

***** Location & Pool Info

You're just a short walk to historic downtown Boulder Creek, including charming shops and the legendary Scopazzi’s Restaurant.

Our resurfaced pool (PebbleTec, May 2025) is open mid-May to late October, heated via solar panels. While we’ll do our best to keep it warm, temperatures may vary depending on weather conditions.

***** Sustainability & Guest Consideration

We're on a septic system, so we ask guests to help minimize paper waste in toilets. Please turn off lights when not in use—this helps us keep rates affordable for everyone.

***** Local Dining & Downtown Highlights (10-Min Walk)

You're just steps away from:

Scopazzi’s (classic fine dining)

Tae’s Edo Sushi

Taqueria Los Gallos

Boulder Creek Pizza & Pub

Red Pearl Chinese

Jenna Sue’s Café

Guest Reviews:

- "The place is beautiful and the host is very hospitable. " - "Unique property. You feel like you are in a tree house with a pool and spa. The owner is very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back. We went to Big Basin SP, golfed and took the Roaring Camp steam train. " - "We felt so lucky to stay in such an amazing house in the beautiful redwoods. The house has so many custom details, beautiful artwork and high-end furnishings. We reserved all three rooms to celebrate my husband’s birthday with two other couples in our family. We loved playing in the pool with our kids surrounded by redwoods… it was amazing! Equally wonderful are the hosts, Alex and Nuby. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed when we arrived. They arranged a special birthday surprise at the restaurant we went to for my husband’s birthday dinner. Thanks, Alex and Nuby, for such a wonderful weekend! "
