Marvelously Peaceful
We needed a peaceful retreat prior to a Monday morning appointment at the Stanford Spine Center. This cottage in the redwoods was just perfect. Lea greeted us when arrived. And we enjoyed a peaceful, private stay. Listening to the gentle flowing creek was wonderously soothing. We'll be back a couple more times for surgery and follow-up.

Perfect little cottage and location, The owner Lea was the perfect hostess I told her based on the entire cabin and experience, "If She (Lea) didn't have it, you don't need it". This lady cabin should be in Hone and Garden magazine. Thank you Lea for making my wife and I so comfortable and welcome. Ken &b Carol AZ

high up there
The cottage was located on a California Mountain which was just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean on the West, and Palo Alto on the east. The drive was on a very steep and winding road that took some getting used to. Also, do not make our mistake and try to use Waze to find the place. Google Maps works. The weather was beautiful- AMs in the high 50s, afternoons sunny around 80. Immediately adjacent is a trickling brook, the only noise save for the occasional vehicle on the road. Very clean and dry air. The hosts were available and very friendly, and kept it very clean. It was just right for us to commute some days to Palo Alto but unwind in total peace in the afternoons and evenings.

An exceptional getaway
The property is gorgeous. Loved listening to the stream outside. The cottage was beautifully appointed. Lovely linens and kitchen ware. Delicious snacks and beverages. But the best part of my stay was my interaction with Lea and her husband. They were welcoming, respected my privacy and went out of their way to accommodate my needs. So grateful for their warm kindness and generosity.

The Cabin Anyone Would Love to Stay At!
The location of the property is well suited to exploring California’s coastal areas and foothills. The cabin exterior doesn’t do justice to the hospitality within. We found the cabin cozy and friendly, with an interior that is lively, open, uncluttered, with natural lighting, and unobtrusive reminders to relax and enjoy the setting. There are all the amenities of a best-in-class VRBO. The deck off the back sits next to small brook that makes the perfect spot to have a glass of wine and enjoy the natural setting and seclusion. We usually try to meet the host to thank them for the stay, but a change to our itinerary didn’t make that possible. None the less, she made efforts to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of.

Redwoods Hiking Trip
A satisfying exhale was this road-weary Angeleno's response to entering this private and beautiful cottage in the woods. The personal touches abound and everything you need to feel at home is already provided. Comfort, relaxation, and hiking adventure is at your immediate discretion in either the comfy bed, outdoor deck overlooking a babbling stream, or the redwood forests in which this cottage is located. Every appliance was in perfect working order, the kitchen fully-equipped, and the bathroom fully-stocked with everything but the most personal preference in linens and toiletries. Simply a great place to relax, decompress, and recharge.

Lovely Stay
I stayed overnight for some peaceful alone time at this property. House was clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The little stream and forest outside added to the cozy cabin feel. Despite a local power outage, the owners provided generator power and were very accommodating. I will definitely stay again!

La Honda Happiness
We normally celebrate out anniversaries on the North Coast but for our 40th, we opted for a redwoods retreat closer to home. Wow, did we score. The Cottage in the Woods is a perfect getaway for two. The Cottage looks like new, is very well appointed and stocked with items you seldom see in a vacation rental. The location, right beside La Honda Creek is lovely. The creek provides all of the white noise you need and the breeze through the redwoods and pine is soothing. In all, a great place to relax, and Lea is the perfect host with weath of knowledge about the area. If going on a nice sunny weekend, you may be well advised to plan on hanging out at the cottage as the roads are very twisty and full of people with more unmuffled horsepower than sense. Weekdays are a joy, less noise and roads are fine to drive to the beach or up Skyline Drive.

Fantastic! Five Stars!
I can’t say enough about this property and our host, Lea. We needed a place to stay in the area during the Christmas holiday that was near my parents’ house in Portola Valley. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was super clean and beautiful inside. The hosts went above and beyond by providing a lot of extras. There were eggs, butter, milk, coffee, snacks, and much more. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked and had everything we needed to make a meal. We enjoyed sitting on the deck by the creek - so peaceful! Communication with Lea was great! We enjoyed chatting with her on our last day. She is a wealth of knowledge about the home and the area. Make sure to go to Alice’s! We love that place. We also went to San Gregorio Beach for a short hike on Christmas morning. Only about 20 minutes away. Great stay! We hope to be back!

My partner and I needed a place to stay overnight to attend a wedding nearby at The Mountain Terrace. Lea’s property and cottage were beautiful, we were so grateful to experience La Honda’s beauty. The cabin is spacious and very well stocked, we appreciated the all the thoughtful touches like extra towels and blankets. Don’t skip this one you won’t regret it!

Cottage in the Woods
For years, VRBO has been my go-to. With a few exceptions, my experiences have been positive. However, none has topped the wonderful get-away we had in Lea's cottage. The scent of redwoods and flowers greeted us, accompanied by the sounds of the flowing creek. The cottage itself was welcoming: meticulously clean, equipped with everything we might have needed and much more. My only caveat: make sure Google takes you to the correct address.

Peaceful Nature Cabin
This was a fantastic stay. The property was clean and enjoyable, nestled in a beautiful, private wooded area. Just a short drive to the beach. The nearby town had necessities, tasty food and gas available. The cabin was well stocked with everything a traveler could need. I could’ve just shown up with my clothes and nothing else. Communication with the owner was quick and helpful. 10 out of 10.

I still can't get over how clean the space was, and how much thought went into every detail. Lee knows her stuff, plus she was very easy to talk with. The deck with the gurgling creek right below was the perfect way to unwind. The location is perfect.... right next to beautiful redwood trails, and a short drive to the beach. I especially enjoyed reading about the history of the property, provided by the book about La Honda. We enjoyed cooking in the well supplied kitchen. If I had to say one negative thing about the space, it would be that the kitchen could use an upgrade in cooking knives. And truly, that's it! Unbelievable stay, and I really hope we get a chance to come back. Thank you Lee!
