Perfect location, among beautiful redwood trees. Can hear nothing but branches and leaves falling and the occasional bird call. Beautiful sunrise and sunset from the deck

Nothing!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location in the forest is beautiful and peaceful, and the family running the place was very friendly and welcoming. The outdoor pool was great, and our kids loved the trampolines. We also enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks surrounded by nature. There’s even space for tent camping, which is a nice bonus.

Location. Nature vibes. Parking. Quietness. Hosts. This is a great place to stay. It has a hostile like vibe for staying in the house. So choice your room accordingly. Tania the host is fun, kind, and a busy lady working to make this Paradise the Retreat we all need. You can camp, hike the property, swim, and enjoy nature. This isn’t 5 star luxury it’s a mountain home with great potential to become our home away from home when we visit Santa Cruz. Marshall the second host also Tania’s son was very helpful, played the piano magnificently in the morning while we enjoyed some Peruvian coffee on the deck. Our room was quaint, we were sure to get a private bath/shower. It was very nice. It is on the bottom story, you can hear footsteps from upstairs but nothing disturbing during quiet hours.

No complaints.

Paradise Retreats is in a beautiful and quiet stand of redwoods, with excellent hosts, a clean pool, and plenty of outdoor space. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would absolutely visit again!
