Cozy Retreat for a wedding
Fantastic, beautiful property to stay in nestled in the Red Woods! We were coming for a wedding at Deer Park Villa which was 5 minutes away and this Vrbo made the stay more magical! The host was super helpful and they thought of everything- even spices, coffee, and extra blankets. Our friends stayed on the pull out sofa and said it was very comfortable too! Fairfax is super convenient and a very cute town as well. We might come back just to stay here!

Good access to Deer Park Villa
Quaint cottage in great location. Very well stocked with necessities and other. Good communication with owner. Our daughter had selected Deer Park Villa for her wedding venue which was a 10 minute walk. Cottage was a 15 minute to downtown Fairfax. Highly recommend!

Into the Woods
The property is located close to the charming town of Fairfax and yet feels very secluded and surrounded by trees. Teresa was extremely prompt and responsive and checked in to make sure we were ok and had everything we needed. I particularly enjoyed waking up to 5 giant redwoods right outside the bedroom window!

Great getaway for a group of friends (or family)! :)
Teresa's cottage is amazing! I went for a weekend with 3 friends and we had such a nice time. The property is lovely, with tall redwoods and even its own babbling brook right next to the little deck - a perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and tea and meditation in the evening. It's also an easy walk to the super charming downtown area with cafes, restaurants and unique, quirky shops. I'm hoping to come back with my family (including 2 teenagers who would love the town) for another weekend. And Teresa is a delightful host - she was so kind and gracious when we accidentally locked ourselves out and had to call on her to help us get in. :) I can't recommend her place highly enough!!

Great getaway cottage.
It was so much fun to be here. It stormed the whole time and it was wonderful to be snug inside, watching the rain on the skylights and listening to a creek rushing past. Fabulous decompression and relaxation.
