Cabin vacation rentals in Santa Cruz Mountains

I was blown away with this stay! Sharon and Nick are great hosts. They made the entire stay comfortable and smooth. The cabin was so cute, too! Clean, well decorated, and fairly well stocked with your essentials. The extra touches they put throughout the cabin put us over the top. The robes, the snacks, the coffee bar- We LOVED all of it and felt so spoiled and taken care of. The outdoor amenities was the chefs kiss. Highly highly recommend this stay!

My son and I just spent four days at Gracie's cabin in La Honda, and it surpassed all expectations. The setting is stunning and incredibly peaceful, nestled among trees and ferns. The cabin was spotless and impeccably maintained. While we didn't spend much time cooking, the kitchen was stocked with all the necessary appliances and plenty of snacks. Gracie was prompt and effective in her communication. I would absolutely choose to stay here again on my next visit to the area.

Marshall and his family were so welcoming and made our short stay so pleasant. We can’t wait to come back, beautiful property beautiful family and great place

Absolutely loved my stay at this beautiful cabin. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and seclusion that made it the perfect escape. The cabin itself is incredibly cozy, warm, thoughtfully decorated, and stocked with everything you need for a relaxing stay. One of the true highlights was the hot tub, tucked away in nature and perfect for unwinding under the stars. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway - this place is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

We had an absolutely delightful and serene stay at Emkay's place. Nestled in the picturesque hills surrounded by towering redwoods, this spot is a perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind and rejuvenate. Emkay and his wife are genuinely wonderful hosts—kind, attentive, and welcoming in every way. The place itself exudes a cozy charm, with the peaceful ambiance enhanced by the soft, calming sound of a nearby creek that you can hear as you relax. It’s a magical experience to sit quietly, listening to the gentle burble of water while being embraced by the tranquility of nature. The quietude here is truly unmatched, making it an ideal place to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life.

Emkay was a responsive, attentive, and caring host. He responded kindly to our many questions and provided us with extra blankets, a lantern (it can get pretty dark at night), a hair dryer, and welcomed us to use his private home's yard for our dog's potty breaks (we did not end up using it, but we appreciated his thoughtfulness). The property is interesting and grows on you after a night or two as it has many interesting features (creek-side chairs, tall sequoia trees, a hot tub, a hummingbird feeder). The cabin is rather small and gets chilly in the night but the quaint decorations, quiet nights, and towering trees create a unique atmosphere and experience.

This might be my favorite rental house ever. It's beautiful, super clean and accommodating, lovely tree views out every window and the rental agency helped us out with early check in which made our trip feel so much longer. We may make this an annual trip.

I stayed here for a month. Toni ( and her partner ) helped me to make sure I had what I needed since it was not a typical short airbnb stay. They were very welcoming to me and my dogs. Their house is also very close to this property so they were always within reach. I felt like I had a mini vacation staying at their place. The place is very scenic and out of all chaos. I had a good cellular network coverage in their place. If you love horses, this will be a heaven for you :)

My whole family absolutely loved and enjoyed this place! The surroundings were breathtaking and our dog loved exploring the grounds also. Home was very comfortable although I do wish it had some toothpaste since we forgot ours lol other than that my kids (18, 7, 3) all thoroughly enjoyed this stay and all the cool creatures and bugs they found outside. The weather was perfect for a fire pit with smores and a nice bottle of wine. We would most definitely stay here again!

Came to Brooke's cabin as a much needed respite from a remodeling project. Intentionally I had planned to stay a week but because this darling cabin was exactly what I needed, that week turned into a month! The space was modern and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the large front deck. The huge surrounding Redwoods provide a view through every window and lots of privacy. I couldnt have asked for a better host; if I was in need of anything,Brooke was quick to respond with consideration and kindness. Because my companion in all this was my 9mo old Corgi, I also appreciated that the entirety of the property is fenced. If you're thinking of visiting our incredible Redwoods in N. Ca., Brooke's space is a perfect option: inviting, peaceful, quiet and central to everything to do and see in the area.Although back in my own home again, I will actually miss Brooke's sweet cabin in the woods-it became my home away from home.

The place is beautiful and extremely peaceful, but the highlight of the stay was Mary. She's so sweet and down to earth. She was more than accommodating and I wish all my future hosts are as great as she is.

This place was very centrally located to the ocean which is what we wanted. It was so nice to stay in the redwoods and hang out at the beach all day. The backyard was great we had plenty of room for all of us. There were plenty of things for our 14 and 10 year old to. Overall it was a great place and a great location. The only thing that was not mentioned either in its description or in pictures is, it’s still decorated for Christmas everywhere in and out of the house in the middle of April. It was a bit overwhelming for this time of year. Otherwise we had a great experience.

Lola is an amazing guest and the house is great getaway with beautiful green surroundings. My dog has the best time running around in 1acre of fenced backyard. Thank you for making our stay great every time

Really enjoyed our stay!

Recently-built, everything works. Small but efficient, good for two. Right amount of whimsy. Lots to look at from the big nice porch: long horn cows, horses, about 15 species of birds. We even saw a fox as we first approached. Loud frogs at night. If you like watching birds you can just sit on the porch for hours. Bed was comfy. Kitchen was serviceable, got the job done, but would not work for serious indoor cooking (two electric burners and a toaster oven). Good BBQ set-up though. Has all the needed hardware but definitely bring all the foodstuffs, condiments that you require e.g. mayo ketchup butter salt pepper etc as you can't just run down to some store. Did not need to run the AC or the heater in April, opening/closing the window facing the hill was enough Temp control. My goal was to stay in a place with a goodly amount of surrounding nature and be able to get to Pinnacles quickly, and this place fit that bill very well. Big porch + birds cows horses = win.

Total privacy and well organized. Really nice place. Her instruction manual was like Grandma’s nightie—covered everything. Thumbs up. 👍

The Cottage under the Redwoods was wonderfully clean and cozy. The hosts are terrific. It is my favorite place to stay when I am away from home.

What a wonderful stay my husband and I had in Laurel’s beautiful “Green Cabin!” Her accommodation could not have been more perfectly located. She has created such a cozy and relaxing place especially after our spectacular redwood hikes around the surrounding area. The pellet stove/fireplace was perfect after a day out and about. Laurel has put a lot of love into her place which is evident in her attention to detail. We definitely hope to return!…And we highly recommend!

Enjoyed my stayed here! The host was very friendly and polite. The place was very unique. The walk down to the creek was so peaceful and nice. No complains. I recommend!

Thank you for extremely helpful directions, your cabin is as advertised, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cabin, very relaxing. As a host you are very attentive to our needs, we felt like we call on you at anytime and you would be there, thank for the unique experience. Paul

We loved staying here! There were lots of toys and bedding for our baby girl. There was a lot that was included when we got there like snacks. Great place!

Clean and lots of personality- like your grandma's cottage. Plenty of little nooks of space to relax in. Kitchen has everything you need. Lots of cool children's books and other books in a few "libraries," and we enjoyed the magazines, etc. Bed is definitely a double! Note that between the living room and bedroom, bedroom and bathroom the doors are like full-length folding shutters rather than doors. Was okay for us but good to know. Since we pay a cleaning fee, it would've been nice to not have to empty the trash and strip all the beds, towels, etc. All in all, it was a great location, cozy and quiet, tranquil and just what we wanted.

It was perfect! Everything as described so comfortable! My granddaughter begged to come over as it was so beautiful. Then told her Dad he had to see it as is was so beautiful! Living room very roomy, we played board game plenty of space. Bathroom was clean nicely decorated. The bath mat is very soft and warm Bedroom had a nice desk closet large. Best was the bed was actually comfortable. I give Rajesh’s home 5 stars for getting this right! New appliances through out it was like a home in a magazine. First time I stayed at a place with so much comfort. We will definitely go back when we are traveling to see our family.
