Cabin vacation rentals in Watsonville

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!

Wonderful couple location! The location has several standout amenities while surrounded by a beautiful private location. The personal creek was a wonderful addition and the host was friendly and helpful.

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 was a beautiful and peaceful location for a weekend getaway with friends. The property felt very private, and we loved seeing deer wander by from time to time. We arrived before sunset, which I recommend if it’s your first time. The road is narrow, steep, and very dark at night. One of our friends returned around 11 pm and felt nervous driving back in the dark. Chris placed a sign at the entrance, which was super helpful since GPS points to the wrong path. The house itself could have been cleaner. The dining table was sticky, and the cover of my book actually ripped when it stuck to the table. This made us hesitant to eat there. We also noticed large cobwebs on the high ceilings. It’s understandable that the ceiling is hard to reach, but they looked like they had been there for a while. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and loved the quiet, natural setting. A little more attention to cleaning would definitely improve the 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.

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.

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.

The Cabin was incredible! Breathtaking views and fully stocked game room for kids and those young at heart. The bedrooms had good quality beds and linen. The bathroom was clean and modern with a large quantity of towels. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were able to cook delicious meals. Ernesto was proactive in communicating and alerted us when we accidentally turned off the timed lights outside. Our family of 12 had memorable moments in The Cabin during our stay in the Fall, and we recommend it to anyone wanting to have the ‘cabin in the woods’ experience.

This AirBnB was very nice, comfortable, and clean. Had all the amenities we needed and just behind it was a short 1min walk to a creek that was beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and the friendly staff for making our trip easy.

We had an awesome time at Robin’s Nest! The location was perfect for us, giving the quiet, peacefulness of the redwoods, while only being a short drive from town. Robin and Tim were so kind and responsive. They gave great recommendations on restaurants and things to do! The Airbnb itself was extremely clean and there were so many thoughtful details that made our stay very comfortable ! Definitely looking forward to coming back!

This was an amazing experience! Great secluded cabin surrounded by nature. Monterey and Big Sur are just short drives with beautiful views. Highly would recommend to others seeking out a peaceful getaway from the cities.

A warm and inviting cabin with beautiful views

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!

Such an exquisite setting! We loved the cabin for our family of four. We can t wait to go back when we visit our UCSC student!!

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 the place, the garden and the location. We felt it was best suited for 2 people to sleep or a family of 3, and not for 4. There was a pull-out bed, that we did not use (we used a camping mattress for the 4th person). We loved Henry Cowell State Park and were saddened by Big Basin National Park (the fire from 2020 had burnt down the trees, but they are coming back)

Magical, epic, rustic. Outside bathtub and views of both mountains and bay were the highlights. It's the kind of place to slow down and refresh, in simple surroundings. Highly recommend!
