- "Amazing host. Beautiful location. The banana slugs are awesome." - "Nice house, beautiful setting. " - "Beautiful home with great amenities located in the Redwoods. Extremely well stocked. We were there for a wedding weekend and didn’t get the chance to relax enjoy the house but it is definitely a place to enjoy and unwind. " - "This is a very honest review. The cabin is absolutely beautiful. It is clean and remodeled with modern conveniences. It is a peaceful and serene place.The road to this cabin, which the owner tells you upfront is absolutely horrible. It is a 1 lane road that has hairpin turns, holes and will make you question your sanity of choosing this cabin. However, due to this road we chose to stay at the cabin and enjoy its tranquility instead of venturing out to explore. Also, this is not really a 4 bedroom cabin. Its really a 3 bedroom with an extra bed in a gameroom that people have to use as a go thru to the 3rd bedroom. Once again, something the owner tells you about if you read the description which we didn't totally understand. All in all if you would like to have a little peace and quiet to reconnect with the people you love and dont mind a little bit of a remote, off the beaten path cabin then this is the place for you. "

This charming 1960s A-frame nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains is the perfect getaway to unwind, disconnect from the hustle of the city all while taking in stunning tree line views. It has an eclectic mix of furnishings, all drenched in natural light from the floor to ceiling windows. Grab a blanket and a warm drink and sit out on the patio to catch some early morning rays or evening sunsets. The cabin is 20 min south of Los Gatos and 20 min north of Santa Cruz, making it an ideal location.
- "Our stay at the Bird House was wonderful! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. It was clean, peaceful, and had all the amenities we needed. The views and decor were perfect! Hot tub was amazing to use at night. Meghan was a wonderful host, she made sure we had everything we needed while still giving us peace to enjoy the home. We didn't want to leave! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful spot to stay away from city noise. "

Enjoy your coffee on the private back patio while watching a family of deer graze in the wooded field behind the house. This newly remodeled quiet house in the trees is still so close to town, you can walk to the shops and restaurants (or a 60 second drive). With smart TVs in every room, you can cuddle up and watch a movie after a long day at the beach, or hiking in the redwoods, both just minutes away. The views of the surrounding hills and trees are amazing from the covered patio or front deck
Large open space with lots of trees. No visible neighbors. Rooms are spacious but not huge. Kitchen is large with all the amenities.
This is an entire 3 bedroom house. All areas are accessible.
I will only contact you if necessary, but I am always available by text or call for help if needed.
We’re not really in a neighborhood. There are several other houses on our street, but none are visible from our place.
Small dogs allowed ($75 pet fee)
- "My friends and I felt very cozy during our stay. The home is beautiful and well organized. The outside area is lovely. The trees are amazing! Would definitely stay here again! A hot tub would make it spectacular 😉" - "I was in charge of booking a small home in Scott's Valley for a non-profit board that I serve on and lucked out with Jerry's property. The home was easy to get to, looked exactly like the listing, was extremely clean. Jerry was a welcoming host and graciously allowed us an early check in and late check out. The indoor/outdoor spaces were very appreciated by my little group. I would recommend this home!"

Very quiet place, close to Scotts Valley shopping and dining. 10-minute drive to Santa Cruz and 15-minute drive to Bay Area. This is a charming cozy little studio, which is tastefully decorated. Got everything you need for a short or a long stay. Fully equipped kitchen. Ideal for 1-2 people (a family couple with а kid will be fine, we'll provide with a pack-n-play). Also, we may place a twin air bed upon request. Come, stay and enjoy beautiful parks and trails of Scotts Valley, nearby wineries, magnificent ocean of Santa Cruz, and busy life of Bay Area!
- "The room was very comfortable and quiet. It was not attached to any other rentals which made it feel more private. Room had everything that you would need for a nice stay. Communication from host was very good. Would stay here again." - "It was basic but comfortable and centrally located. Quiet all night and easy to get to stores and our conference at Mt. Hermon.

- "Absolutely beautiful property! The spa is incredible, and totally private with a nice, relaxing atmosphere. You can tell a lot of thought was put into everything here. Like some other reviews mentioned, there are other people staying in the other available rooms but we really didn’t run into each other and it still felt quiet and secluded. Everything was nice, the towels and soaps, the bedsheets, complementary wine and tea, soft fluffy robes, everything was spotless. Five star hotel experience, but even better due to the privacy of the spa and gardens. If you’re looking for a place to rest and recharge, book your stay here now, you won’t regret it. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Olag!!"

Wonderful flowers and plants, Peace and quiet and wonderful apartment. Do not miss the spa." - "Elena & Oleg were perfect, communicative hosts. We unfortunately arrived close to 10pm, but they were kind enough to wait for us to show us briefly around the property and explain details (they even helped us bring our takeout dinner into the place & personally delivered water bottles for us when we were unsure of if we could drink from the tap)! HUGE points especially for the spa. Oleg said they just finished making it recently, and it was absolutely perfect (sauna, cold bath, jacuzzi, music, essential oil diffusers). It was my husband’s first spa experience and he was blown away. Thank you so much to Oleg & Elena, again. We loved the stay, and know you will too!"

Massive Redwoods surround you while you stay at this amazing retreat home in Mount Hermon. Any kids in your group will be blown away by the tree house bunk room with climbing wall. Relax in the back yard inside the spa, at the huge picnic table or on the adirondack chairs while enjoying the majestic giant trees.
Steps away from the adventure courses of Mount Hermon and many creek trails. Twenty minutes to the Boardwalk and 15 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz.
The space
This is a two story home.
The Upper level has:
1) Living
2) Dining
3) Kitchen
4) King Bedroom
5) Bath room
6) Laundry
Lower level has:
1) The Discovery Grove Bunk Room
2) The Roaring Camp queen bedroom
3) The Boardwalk queen room
4) Bathroom with shower
The home sleeps 10. Per the county rules: a maximum of 8 guests over age 8 are allowed. Children under 8 are allowed in addition to those 8 guests.
Bedroom 1: California King bed with memory foam mattress and Tempur-Pedic topper provides for a magical night's sleep. A comfy chair and a small TV are in the room. There is plenty of space in the closet for clothes and other items. The upstairs bathroom with tub/shower is right outside the bedroom door.
Bedroom 2: This bedroom is inspired by the Roaring Camp Railroad. Queen bed with memory foam mattress and Tempur-Pedic topper. Medium sized TV in the room. Standard closet and luggage racks. PLEASE NOTE: the bunk room access is through this room. So privacy is somewhat limited. The shelves in the room have board games for your group!
Bedroom 3: The Boardwalk room. Surrounded by sights of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, this room has a queen bed. A large dresser and luggage racks available for your items. No closet in this room.
Bedroom 4: Discovery Grove bunk room. Saving the best for last! This room is themed to match the Mount Hermon adventures that surround us just outside the house.

Four beds for the adventurous kids in your group. No closet space in this room.
Guest access
There is plenty of space for three cars in our parking spots front of the home. The road to the home is very narrow, so drive carefully and be mindful of neighbors.
Other things to note
While this home is set up for a medium to large group, this is not a party house. The home is located in the middle of a tightknit community and we ask that all guests be respectful of their surroundings.
Also, the access to the bunk room is THROUGH the queen bedroom. So privacy is somewhat limited for guests sleeping in the queen bedroom.
This house is in the middle of a redwood forest. Redwood trees are notorious for constantly dropping branches, fronds and seedpods. As such, the deck and yard will likely have these materials strewn about even if the house was just cleaned. Also, because it is a forest, the terrain can be rough in the backyard and may not be suitable for children who are prone to injury. Please keep an eye on your children while outside.
- "The Mt Hermon home was fantastic. The property itself is in the most beautiful place. We took a little hike - not exactly easy - but SO worth it! Skipping rocks by the waterfall. Our boys loved it! The property was so clean and well appointed. The art work in the bunk room was gorgeous and the boys loved the bunks and the bridge between them. My granddaughter found the boardwalk room to be delightful. CornHole. Hot tub under the patio lights. Trampoline. Tetherball. Games. This place is perfect for a vacation! Did I mention how clean it was?!"

Our home is nestled in the quiet hills of Wine Country. With its own private entrance, we have a two bedroom apartment for you to enjoy.

A small kitchenette (please note: no oven available), couch, TV with streaming, table, games and fireplace are in the living room. This is a great space for a family or two couples on a trip together.
The space
You can't help but relax and unwind after leaving the freeway and driving past farms, ranches, and wineries to our little getaway. Just a few minutes from town, our home is located on a small hilltop in the beautiful wine country. We are also less than 2 miles from Wild Horse, Bella Luna, Hidden Oak, and Fableist Wineries. Enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting! Feel free to walk around our 6 acres, play lawn games on the soccer field, enjoy outdoor seating areas throughout, and try out our kid's beloved rope swing if you dare. :) We have sheep grazing in the valley, baby lambs during the appropriate season, and the sweetest guard dogs named Wampa and Phazzy who protect our flock.
While our guest wing is attached to our main house, we keep the corridor locked and welcome you in with your own private entrance and walkway. We recently purchased new mattresses for both bedrooms and replaced the queen bed with a king (so both rooms have kings!). Each bedroom has its own private bathroom. There is also a separate TV in the master bedroom. A Graco Pack N Play with clean sheets is available upon request.
The living area has its own small kitchen area, complete with mini fridge, toaster oven, electric griddle, two hot plates with a couple of pans, Keurig coffee pot with pods, microwave and all the dishes, glasses, and silverware you might need. Please note, the kitchenette does NOT have a regular oven.

Creekside Cabin
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Get away from it all and find peace and privacy at this storybook cabin in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Nestled at the edge of a babbling creek, this cabin is a place for basking in the scenery of a lush woodland grove, observing passing wildlife, and unwinding each evening in a private hot tub.
The cabin sits at the end of a country road on a remote property shared with only one other cabin. You'll have a small beach area at the base of tall trees by the creek where you can sit with your morning coffee, a good book in the afternoon, or a glass of local wine at golden hour.
Cross the bridge, descend the staircase, and enter the cabin from a lovely, wraparound deck. It's a beautiful spot for alfresco meals, listening to the sounds of the creek and soaking away any lingering cares in the hot tub.
The interior is a striking, light-filled space where white walls reflect the sunshine, skylights bring the tree canopy indoors, and beamed ceilings add charm and atmosphere. At the heart of the home is a contemporary living room where you can curl up on foggy mornings and evenings in the warmth of a pellet stove. The adjacent kitchen is compact but beautifully equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the essential cookware.
As for the bedroom, this tranquil, window-lined space will make you feel like you're waking up in a treehouse.
THINGS TO KNOW
