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.

Unexpected beauty!
The pictures and description don’t do this rental justice! It’s in the middle of a redwood forest and the creek is wonderful! Lea has set the place up perfectly and has thought of so many special touches. We would come back in a heartbeat!!

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!

Perfect Cozy Cottage, Would Stay Again
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!

Amazing Cabin
Wow what a great cabin! The place was very spacious and comfortable and had everything you might need in the kitchen. The location is in a great spot that is out of the city and was so peaceful and relaxing. Perfect spot to telex on the deck and listen to nature.

Delightful cottage nestled in the redwoods
The photos online do not do this property justice. The feeling from the moment you drive up is wonderful. Newly landscaped grounds look botanical garden inspired and the creekside setting among the redwoods, maples, and alders is just the recipe I needed for a recharge. Located only a couple miles east of the historic town of La Honda and close to Half Moon Bay, Filoli Gardens, dozens of amazing beaches along Hwy 1, and miles of hiking trails in multiple directions. The cottage feels brand new and the hosts have done a great job stocking it with a variety of items to make your stay more enjoyable. This one was a genuine 5-star stay.
