Where Water Falls

Perfect vacation!! 4 friends and I spent a few days in this beautiful cottage in the woods last week. We felt so at home, everything we needed or wanted was there as well as some nice added touches like fresh flowers and a welcome basket. The only thing that was needed was…….more time!! Thank you Amy, I am hoping to be back again!!

This place is adorable!! A few friends and I decided to escape the city for a quick getaway. Amy is a great host. The place was spotless with so many unique touches (cookies & wine) upon checkin. We really enjoyed the horseshoes, ping pong table, fire pit, and jacuzzi. This is a great pick. The morning view on the deck was so peaceful and there was a lot of privacy.
Highly recommend!

The perfect relaxing getaway From the time we booked our stay several months ago Amy has been welcoming, responsive, efficient and friendly. We booked here because a family member was getting married in a nearby state park and we knew it would be a convenient location. Our experience far exceeded our expectations. We flew in to San Jose and used Amy’s detailed directions (complete with photos – yeah!) to wind our way to the Cottage and were welcomed with homemade cookies and marshmallows and wine. The property was immaculately, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and had every single thing we could want or need. The kitchen was fun to cook in - the appliances seem brand new, there are lots of pots and pans and dishes and utensils and very sharp knives! The front porch with its rockers and swing were perfect for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. We cooked dinners on the grill and ate at the table on the back porch. The flowers surrounding the house are so lovely and obviously well cared for; the hot tub made for a perfect de-stresser; the internet was fast and reliable; the music provided a great background for our time there – streaming 50’s and 60’s music matched the era of the house and made for lots of fun sing-alongs; even the bathrooms are terrific! The roosters in the morning were a little shocking the first day but we got used to them pretty quickly. 😉 While the rest of our family were stuck in the traffic and noise of Half Moon Bay, we were relaxing in our mountain refuge. Amy’s sense of fun and attention to detail are apparent and very much appreciated. We loved the family touches, stories and information about the area. It’s obvious she loves this place and now so do we. We’re sending huge thanks to Amy (and Sharon & Irv) for sharing their home with us!

Fabulous vacation retreat nestled amongst the redwoods My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at The Cottage during our trip to San Francisco for a wedding. The Cottage is a gem of a vacation home, one of the best we've ever stayed in. It was such a welcome retreat to Arizona’s extreme summer. The attention to detail the owners have is astounding. The home feels fresh and new with a mid-century modern style and is extremely well-kept. We wish we could have stayed longer to fully enjoy all the recreational activities around the home like ping pong, horseshoes, the fire pit, hot tub, hammock, and swings. We had the opportunity to take a walk to nearby Memorial Park and loved seeing the mother deer with their fawns. As self-professed "foodies", we were extremely impressed with the delicious welcome basket we encountered upon check-in. Needless to say, we hope we find ourselves back at The Cottage in the near future!

So cozy Beautiful and serene. The property is nothing short of amazing and we had a perfect relaxing weekend here. The owner provides everything and then some! Delicious snacks and all. 🙂 Thank you!!

Absolutely Perfect!! From beginning to end our stay was magical! Location was private and beautifully tucked into the woods. The welcoming notes and gifts were such a nice touch. It was so hard to check out because none of us wanted to leave! We're already looking forward to our next visit ♡

Amazing Weekend Getaway They house was immaculate, so clean and nice. Beautiful porch to sit on and watch the sun set beyond the trees. They hot tub was great for a relaxing soak after adventures. The location is great for wanting to get away. It's far enough from everything to feel like youre in a different place but close enough if you want to go to the coast or the city. The fresh baked cookies and spa water in the fridge were a great addition and welcome gift.
It was such a great experience that we all decided that it would be a great place to visit again with more time.

Awesome Cottage! The Cottage is great- it's very inviting when you get there. We arrived to find it lit up with a bunch of cool lights, there was a great welcome basket for us in the kitchen (as well as some homemade stuff), and a cool welcoming message on the board in the entryway. She's pretty much thought of everything- there's a full kitchen with very good appliances, a cool coffeemaker with a grinder in it for fresh-ground coffee, a grill, great bedding, all sorts of games and books, ping pong, foosball, hot tub, multiple areas to relax both inside and outside, a hammock in the trees, places to get some sun, etc. She has all sorts of information on places to go and things to do in the area. We also used the bird identifying guides she had for the tons of cool birds around. On top of it all, she's super friendly and really good at responding when you email her.
Nearby Pescadero is a cool little town and the Mercado & Taqueria De Amigos (the gas station/convenience store in town) has a really good Mexican restaurant inside (we went there a few times while we were there). It doesn't look like much but the food is awesome (and pretty cheap!). There are good beaches all along Hwy 1 just a few miles away.
Oh yeah, and driving on the curvy mountain roads through the redwoods is tons of fun as well!
Thanks again!

Heaven just minutes from the bustle of Silicon Valley The cottage is truly a wonderful place to stay and get away from it all. My wife and I have stayed in dozens of rentals and Amy's home is by far the most well thought out and comfortable rental we've ever experienced. It feels like home, or the way you wish your home felt. Every single detail for the guests comfort has been thought of. We will be back time and time again....thank you!

4 of us stayed here for a wedding. This was definitely the best Air BnB all of us have ever stayed in. The hospitality was second to none and the house itself was amazing. We really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We all also appreciated the historical touches that was included around the house which really made us appreciate the area we were staying in.
Would definitely recommended to anyone looking to stay in this area.

Locals getaway for restoration The Cottage is such a charming retreat with little surprises in every nook. We wish we had more time to experience it all -- hot tub, fire pit, hammock, porch swing, games, LPs... Amy truly has thought through every corner and every possible need. We only left The Cottage to pick up supplies for dinner -- The Sunshine market is not to be missed! Tip: the Loma Mar Store has an amazing croissant breakfast, if you don't want to make your own. We cannot wait to return to Loma Mar and The Cottage!

Delightful, comfortable, sparkling-clean house deep in the redwoods. Fantastic hiking and swimming holes in state park in walking distance. 15 minutes from the coast, and spectacularly beautiful Pescadero State Park beach. If you love nature, and yet want all the modern conveniences in a lovely house, this is the place for you. Our hosts were there in a heartbeat if we had any questions but gave us our privacy. Ask them about their fascinating family history as the first settlers in the region!

Relax & Renew We loved the cottage. It was immaculate. We had everything we needed and more. There were many extras waiting for us. Amy was a delight to communicate with. We cant wait to return.

Amy's cottage is amazing! The attention to detail is above and beyond and you can really feel the care that Amy has taken in helping create a memorable experience for her guests. From personal notes and gifts of fresh blackberries, homemade wine and even a birthday ballon, Amy extends a warm hearted welcome. Since Amy's family has roots in this home, she has invested a sensitive energy to how it is presented and honored. The landscape is so inviting with the lovely garden and surrounding forest and you'll love unwinding under the stars in the fancy hot tub. You can pick fresh herbs to add to your meals prepared in the greatly outfitted kitchen and enjoy them al fresco on the charming patio in the fresh Loma Mar air. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Amy as a fabulous host and her lovely cottage as an Airbnb gem. Thank you, Amy!

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at the cottage for 4 nights. We were a little wary at first because it was a brand new listing and seemed much nicer than anywhere I had seen in the area for around the same cost. However, after talking to the owners we felt reassured and are so glad we decided to stay. They were always helpful and told us to call anytime if we needed anything but we never had to because it seemed they had thought of everything we might need already. The cottage is very private and we never saw them but every morning a delicious breakfast was delivered to our door, then the dishes picked up later in the day like room service. Even with 6 people we never felt crowded because there are so many different places to spread out—the deck, fire pit, back patio, the hot tub, a hammock and swing hidden in a small grove of redwoods and more—all serenaded by the relaxing sound of the beautiful backyard waterfall. The landscaping is lovely and the cottage itself has been completely remodeled and has every amenity yet still feels very homey, full of neat little details everywhere. We were always finding new surprises from the décor to the interesting mix of thoughtful books and games. Best of all was simply relaxing with a good book or exploring the natural surroundings—watching the birds, banana slugs and even 4 deer one night while driving the 7 miles from Pescadero. Although we were on a family vacation, the cottage would make a great getaway for families or couples in the Bay Area who want to get away from it all without going too far. If you are visiting from out of town it will also give you a new perspective while serving as a base to explore the Bay Area. The setting in the middle of the redwoods is truly awe-inspiring—it’s easy to just relax among the trees and forget about everything. Sure it is a little off the beaten path but that is part of the cottage’s charm. Yet it is still only an hour drive up or down the beautiful California coast to spend a day in Santa Cruz or San Francisco, and about half an hour through the redwoods to Palo Alto. Another day we just hiked around the redwoods and went to the nearby un-crowded coastal beaches and Pelican Point lighthouse. I really can’t recommend this place enough—it even exceeded our high expectations and put the rest of the places we stayed on vacation to shame. We hope to return as soon as we can!

Speechless 4 Moms+1 amazing sanctuary= an unforgettable weekend. We literally spent our first hour there just oooooohing and ahhhhhhing and discovering the endless amenities. We were already blown away with the website, correspondence and the welcome postcard in the mail, but then all the personal touches in the house, the amazing garden and whimsical decor, the welcome note and goodies....every sight line was filled with joy. The serenading frogs in the evening by the hot tub are a nice touch too 😉 We will be back!

This cottage was fantastic and exceeded expectations. Everything was sparkling clean and the hosts provided so many well-thought out touches like fresh sparkling fruit water, wine, and snacks. The property itself was lovely and very well maintained. You could tell that a lot of tender loving care went into styling and building this home. What a treat to stay at!

Everything was perfect: the house, the amenities, the design, the record collection. Everything was A+. I have never been more relaxed and happy. I can't wait to go back.

AMAZING Getaway!!! Yes, it's Magical! Oh my gosh, I don't even know where to begin! My husband and I and another couple stayed here for only 2 nights (wish we'd stayed longer) to celebrate my 40th birthday. My friend and I were running a 50K close by, so we found this lovely cottage that looked perfect for the 4 of us. The Cottage exceeded our expectations! As soon as we walked in, we fell in love. It is bright, clean, and comfortable. In January, it was decorated with winter themed pillows and other decorations, including twinkle lights outside. Now, that's personal! Amy communicated very well and really made us feel at home. The Cottage has so many personal touches to make you feel pampered. There was a welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived, the fire pit had wood AND newspaper in it ready to be lit, and the hot tub was ready to go! There were shampoo and soap dispensers in the bathrooms, plus hair dryers and plenty of towels. There were board games, books, foosball, ping pong, horseshoes, and many other games and activities to enjoy at your leisure. They thought of everything and didn't cut any corners on this place. The front porch was relaxing and the back porch was amazing! We spent both nights out in the hot tub (REALLY nice after that 50K) enjoying the sound of the waterfall and a croaking frog. The kitchen was well-appointed for the most part. My husband loves to cook, so he and my friend's husband cooked dinner for us both nights. The only thing they said they wish they had were a few basic spices, but I'm sure if we'd have just asked, Amy would have brought us what we needed (her house is right behind the cottage). They even used the grill for burgers one night. This is an old family home that has been completely remodeled beautifully, but they kept the charm and a few items from it's former glory, such as some artwork, a quilt, and an old telephone. Many of the photos on the wall were taken by Amy herself. The beds were comfortable and there were even robes for use in the closet! There were little signs and labels to tell a little bit about the history (and let us know where things were), which was really neat. We also didn't realize how close we were to the coast! Hwy. 1 is super close, so if you want to sightsee, it's a great place to be. We will definitely be back! This is a great getaway, and it is definitely better than any description or photos will show. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Amy! 5+ stars!

Loved it This is a great retreat from the city. Everything is thought of down to the last detail. The proximity to the ocean, forest and the quaint town of Pescadero is ideal. Wonderful time and would easily return!

I cannot possibly rave enough about this home! Thoughtful touches everywhere, big comfy beds, super clean, gorgeous setting, charming and stylish decor, great heating, games, hot tub...wish I had more time there to soak more of it up! It was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, magical place As I sit here in the dining room of the Cottage writing this review, I am looking around in disbelief that I found this unreal sanctuary thanks to a pretty random google search, looking for a "crash pad" for the weekend. Instead, heaven. The bad news for the owners? I'm not leaving. No but seriously, nothing was overlooked by the Blomquists putting this place together - from the landscaping, to the hot tub, the deck, the kitchen - everything. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Oh, and did I mention breakfast delivered every morning with yummy baked good, fruit, OJ, all homemade organic goodies. I sincerely hope that future guests respect and cherish this magical spot and keep it nice as it gets "broken in" by guests. The place deserves it - tread lightly.

I kind of want to keep this place secret It’s AMAZING. Perfectly appointed, thoughtful hosts, lovely setting. My kids spend a few days every year at a camp nearby and I will keep on coming back without hesitation. They've taught me A TON about being a better host at my own vacation rental home. THANKS!

Exactly what we needed This was our first family trip to California an looked at several properties for our stay. We looked at reviews an Where the Waterfalls was recommended highly by many. I'm glad we chose Amy to rent from an I could not imagine any other place being so hospitable. The property is simply breathtaking, between the secluded environment of the redwoods an the hot tub outside it was very hard to leave the house to go to town. The drive in to town was one I will never forget. The fact I got to drive that route for a week is a bonus itself. We have 3 teens an a 12 year old an they were just as content w/ the ping pong table an the firepit an dont forget the hammock tucked in the red woods. We made family memories on that property an in my point of view made the best decision choosing Amy an her cottage.
A short drive to Santa Cruz an even closer to Half Moon Bay all on the historic California Rt 1. So many beaches on that route its impossible to not find one you like. We made arrangements an had lots of plans in the area but it was always nice to come back to the house.
An I have to mention how close the State Park is to the house, its literally a 1/4 mile down the road. You drive by it every time you leave the house an there are amazing sights. Giant fallen red woods trees, a beautiful creek an awesome trails.
In closing I'd like to thank Amy again for always making sure we were OK but also leaving us to our own privacy. It literally was a perfect time w/ house an owner. Thank you an I'd love to see it again.

Amazing Spot Perfect getaway nestled in the redwoods a short drive from pescadero and the beaches along highway 1. Private and secluded, amazing hot tub and outdoor area, with a great deck to enjoy all of the coffee and treats provided for our stay. I'd definitely go back - beats the Ritz up the road and is half the price!

The cottage was perfect! The yard is lovely and we had a great time hanging out in the hot tub under the stars. The kitchen is well stocked. We went hiking in Memorial County Park, which is about half a mile away.

My wife and I spent her birthday weekend at the cottage, and it was a perfect getaway. It was a bit of an indulgence for just two people, since the house has two bedrooms (both with large beds) and two full baths. But it was a special occasion, and it looked perfect for our purpose, which was to lounge around and do as little as possible.
We arrived on a Friday night (stayed through Sunday), and found the cottage all lit up with music playing inside. A gift bag of wine, fruit, and snacks greeted us in the kitchen. The house was in perfect condition; everything very clean and in order.
The kitchen (which is where I usually get picky) was well-stocked, and had all the tools I needed for a few modest meals. The closest food shops are several miles away and close early, so you kinda need to plan ahead. Provided in the house is coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and pepper. There's a coffee grinder, drip machine, and an espresso pod machine, too. The only thing I wish we'd brought was milk for the coffee.
The dining room is just outside the kitchen and seats 6. The living room has a bunch of comfortable chairs, a fireplace, a TV with cable and DVD player, and a foosball table (kinda weird, but okay). There are a ton of great board games and books in the bookshelf. My wife and I kept calling it "the most interesting bookshelf in the world".
The two bedrooms and bathrooms are both clean and in great shape. I found it a bit weird that there wasn't a dresser to put your clothes in (in either bedroom), but there were shelves in the closet that did the trick. The bed we stayed in was comfy and warm. The window coverings aren't exactly opaque, so bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in.
Outdoors there are a ton more things: a nice deck that looks out to the road, a patio in the back with a gas grill, a hot tub, a fire pit, and then a hammock and swing a little ways up the hill.
The setting is a big redwood grove, and a half mile down the road is Memorial Park, which looks like a great park for camping. We took a little hike down there during our stay, and it was beautiful to see the creek and the redwoods. And the banana slugs! The cottage has lots of helpful little maps and guides that will get you the hike or nature experience that you're looking for.
I can't say enough nice things about this spot. Would highly recommend for a lazy weekend away in the woods. The proprietors clearly care a lot about their guests' experience, and everything from the initial booking to our arrival was easy and stress-free.

Redwood extraordinaire Such great signage & amenities. Such a perfect spot to experience the redwoods in comfort.

Nice get away Everything is complete and ready to go. All the little amenities. They thought of everything. A very relaxing stay

Anniversary Our stay at the waterfall cottage was outstanding. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and were greeted by a warmly welcoming note. As we entered the property we discovered a gift basket of cheese, crackers and wine. We were not expecting that and it was a nice surprise. The property was very clean and numerous amenities to enjoy during the stay. The attention to detail throughout was very impressive. We have stayed at several VRBO properties and this one ranks as one of the best.

The details are what we so appreciated about Where the Water Falls. During our two night stay, we came nowhere close to experiencing all of them. The fire pit, the horse shoes, the board games and ping pong will need to happen at a future visit. We (a pair of couples) arrived at Amy’s place after a almost 15 mile hike from a friend’s house near the top of Page Mill Rd, so our goal was rest, nutrition, and nurturing our aching muscles. We enjoyed the spacious and well equipped kitchen and patio area to cook bbq dinners. We 50-somethings, spun a number of records from the Righteous Brothers to Beatles, selecting albums that we grew up hearing, and reminisced about our childhoods, lounging on the comfortable chairs and couch. There is no other music experience like spinning vinyl! I soaked in the hot tub, with a view of chipmunks scampering on the rocks at the edge of the (Website hidden by Airbnb) was a soothing soak! Beds were very comfortable, the neighborhood quiet, and we were grateful for our very restful stay!

Our group unanimously agreed that this was hands down the best Airbnb experience we've ever had.
Accommodations: The amount of consideration Amy put into making sure we had all the accommodations we needed was unreal-- homemade vanilla marshmallows for the fire pit, baked cookies (Amy, I've been requested to ask you about the recipe!) , fruit-infused water, bottle of house wine, makeup remover and special washcloths, a literal tome of a guidebook, handwritten welcome sign, hot tub towels, and way, way more. The cottage was so exquisitely decorated with quaint furnishings -- really felt like a "Secret Garden" experience.
Amenities were perfect for us: tons of games, fire pit with all the necessary equipment, hot tub, cute porch with swing and rocking chairs to enjoy in the mornings with a cup of Nespresso.
Location was 10/10: right by a bunch of parks great for hiking, very quiet (we slept so well!)
Communication: Amy was so helpful prior to and during our trip. She essentially sent us a FAQ list, complete with what the house already contained (e.g., which specific cooking equipment) so we knew exactly what to pack. She made sure we had everything we needed, and we couldn't have asked for more.

Awesome! I rented The Cottage since my son was getting married in nearby Memorial Park. While it looked terrific on the website, it is even better in person. I kept pinching myself! I walked in to find a beautiful welcome basket along with soothing music playing. Everything is in perfect condition. The owners have included every amenity imaginable, including coffee beans and a grinder! The grounds/landscaping are just as wonderful as The Cottage itself. We took full advantage of the BBQ, hot tub, rocking chairs overlooking the redwoods, beautiful waterfall, and made the most delicious s'mores in the fire pit. I was so glad we had included extra days on either side of the wedding so that we could truly enjoy this fantastic property. While it was the wedding that literally brought me to this "neck of the woods," it is The Cottage that will be bringing me back! It is a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of the forest and have all the comforts possible - just an awesome retreat!

Quaint, well-appointed cottage in the redwoods Compared to the photos and descriptions, the Cottage is possibly understated! Adorable, neat as a pin, wonderful attention to detail and well-appointed. The term "gracious living" comes to mind. We loved our stay here, and really appreciated how great the kitchen was. Everything we reached for (utensils, waffle maker, griddle, cutlery) was there, and the little notes and descriptions were a highlight. Thanks for the welcome basket; we mowed through several of the treats on our first evening while sitting on the front porch listening to the birds.
We had a wonderful time, and will definitely be back! Thanks Amy, Sharon and Irv!

Amy's place was just what we were looking for in a weekend getaway: close enough to drive from the south bay but still feel like you are somewhere very different, fireplace, comfortable beds, hot tub and nice kitchen -- in the gorgeous redwoods, 10 minutes from one of our favorite little towns (Pescadero). Amy, thought of everything and we really appreciated it all the treats. We will be back for sure!

Cute Hideaway Pleasant and relaxing stay at the cottage. The hot tub was great. The fire pit was so easy to use. Owner/Amy was very friendly and informative. Foam mattress took some getting used to, but the home was clean and cozy. We loved sitting on the balcony looking at the tress and nature. I would definitely recommend a stay here. So close to the big redwoods and also the beaches.

THE BEST RENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER I have stayed in a lot of VRBO places all around the US and Caribbean and The Cottage experience was THE BEST! Amy goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests - she literally thinks of everything. The house is immaculate, stocked with everything you could want or need. The decor is cute and the outdoor area is awesome. So much to do - ping pong, horseshoes, bbqing, fire pit, hot tub, hiking, all on or from the property. I am picky, and I was so pleased. We kept noticing new things throughout our weekend stay, the herbs to cook with, the games, and on and on. Thank you Amy!

A Beautiful Haven for Reflection My church small group enjoyed an absolutely amazing stay at The Cottage for our summer retreat that we will forever treasure!
From the moment we entered the gates, we were greeted with little personalized details that showed the love and care from the owners. We went right before Halloween weekend so there were little pumpkins throughout the house and outdoors that were so cute! The little details throughout the house made it that much more special. 🙂
Not only is the outdoor landscape beautiful and relaxing, it allowed for wonderful reflection time for our group. When we walked into the front door, there was a personalized welcome message on the black board and a welcome basket that brought huge smiles to our faces.
The house was very clean and fully stocked with an abundance of amenities. We enjoyed the ping-pong table, the grill, and the firepit! There wasn't a thing to complain about!
Words cannot express how much we enjoyed every minute of our stay... and we would definitely go back again! Thank you for providing us with such a beautiful haven for reflection!
Review Response:Owner - Thank you for the review. You touched on the very thing I love most about The Cottage- its tranquility. I always feel so present and connected to the surroundings when I’m there. I bet that is why my grandparents picked that very spot!

What. A. Property. Such an amazing time! Amy has thought of so many little touches and details! We couldn't have been happier with our stay! The garden is breathtaking and there was so much to explore!
She provides history of the property and area (her family goes back generations on that property! I loved the history and learning about everything. 10 stars, they were amazing hosts <3

Amy's cottage was the most serene getaway. You can feel the love and care put into this beautiful home. It was also exceptionally clean upon arrival. I can't wait to go back!

Great place to rejuvenate After full days of sightseeing, the cottage was so nice to come back and unwind. It is absolutely beautiful both inside and out!!! The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. A ton of love and attention has gone into this lovely home. I did not want to leave. Thank you Amy and family!!!

The most comfortable VRBO house EVER! This 2 KB/2 BA gem is the most well-stocked, clean, and nicely appointed VRBO house we have ever had the experience of renting. The host, Amy, is so responsive and accommodating! Complete with a wonderful hot tub, ping pong table, fussball, classic albums and turntable, fireplace, gas BBQ, waterfall, horse shoe area, a lovely porch/deck, washer/dryer, and the most well-stocked kitchen ever, this is THE place to stay while visiting Pescadero, Butano Redwoods, Sam McDonald Cnty Park, Memorial Park, or any other nature area in the vicinity. A mere hour from San José, CA this gem was literally a breath of fresh air. You will not be disappointed!

Great Getaway! It’s impossible to describe in words how great this cottage really is. I stayed here with four friends over New Years, and our three nights could not have been better. During the booking process, Amy took the initiative to provide us with information about the region, including activities, sites, and stores for supplies.
A generous welcome basket greeted us upon arrival, and it took us less than a minute to realize that the cottage managed to exceed our already sky-high expectations. The house is cozy and comfortable, and the kitchen (and grille) is fully equipped and spacious enough for all of us to lend a hand when making meals. With ping-pong, puzzles, board games, foosball, hot tub, horseshoes, a fireplace, etc, it was tempting to stay in the house for the full 72 hours! However, we were glad that we did venture out into the beautiful surroundings to enjoy the forest and coastline.
I’ve stayed in numerous vacation rentals while traveling over the last few years (and my mom actually owns one in San Francisco), but what sets Amy’s apart from all the rest is her attention to every minute detail. Nothing was out of place and everything that we could possibly need was provided.
I highly recommend Amy’s cottage and am looking forward to another trip in the near future!

It's rare that an airbnb exceeds my expectations. There always seems to be something that is not quite as I'd hoped or expected. But this cabin was beautiful in every way. The structure itself was solid and well-built, the decor was beautiful with lovely touches around every corner and it was well-appointed from kitchens to linens to outdoor amenities. We were here on a rainy weekend so we couldn't fully take advantage of the outdoor space but we will next time! And there WILL BE a next time! This cabin is remote without being too far of a drive from the peninsula. So so happy with this place! Thanks, Amy!!

The cottage is an amazing oasis of self-contained tranquility!

Restful peaceful Beautiful Love our time here and look forward to it every year Excellent host and details special and personal

Magical....restful....gorgeous property! Charming, magical, close to nature...hidden gem in Pescadero! Amy's rental was the perfect place for my family....we visited the goat farm, Half Moon Bay, downtown Pescadero, the beach...stayed in the beautiful redwoods but only 5-10 minutes from the beach - the best of both worlds! Wish we could have stayed more than 2 nights!!!
Not a thing to bring with you, the cottage is FULLY stocked! My family will return again and again 🙂

As complete as your own home and much more relaxing Our 2-day stay was among the very most relaxing and carefree ever. We were so surprised at how perfectly furnished the cottage was, containing just about everything needed and so much extra to make it seem like home: professionally landscaped garden (surrounding the house) with a short trail to a hammock & swing, charming waterfall, Jacuzzi, ping pong, porch swing with breath-taking view, outdoor fire pit with plenty of wood, and tables for dining al fresco. Both bedrooms have king beds, nicely stocked bathrooms, linens for a month's stay, newer washer and dryer, modern kitchen with (it seemed like) 100 cooking utensils & serving dishes, old fashioned telephone, luxurious welcome package with homemade goodies, numerous board games and books, and much more. There is email and phone contact to the owner, if needed, and she was responsive. A tiny wish: there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink, probably because of the septic tank, so we wrapped wet garbage in plastic bags, no big deal. This place is absolutely wonderful. We want to return soon and stay longer.

Wonderful place This Place is really fantastic!!! Location is good and the photos was fine. But nobody can't describe this place with photos, you must see it by yourself. The property was VERY CLEAN!!! We are two couples from Sweden, and we have never rented such a good place before. The owner was very helpful and answered all our questions. We would really recommend this place to our friends. One thing about the restaurants in Pescadero and also the shops. The people there were not so friendly, we don't know if it was because that we are Tourists, but I Think the need to change their behaviour. We are used to all friendly people in the restaurants in California.

Great weekend getaway We just got back from a great weekend in Loma Mar at the Cottage. The cottage has been recently renovated and was very comfortable for two couples. We BBQ'd each night, shared some wine, used the hot tub, played some ping pong - just a great, relaxing weekend all around. The house is in a easily accessible location surrounded by beautiful redwoods and only a 15-20 minute drive (and a beautiful drive, no less) from Pescadero Beach. Pigeon Point and Ano Nuevo are just a few minutes further down PCH.
The hosts do a wonderful job providing information about the surrounding area. The cottage was well appointed with all the kitchen utensils you might need, extra roll away beds, linens, towels, etc. It's also only a 5 minute drive from a small general store that carries anything you might have forgotten.
A big thanks to the hosts for a great time and for the wonderful breakfasts, which are brought fresh each morning. The breakfast baskets included scones, apple tarts, berries, yogurt, granola, etc. All of it delicious and much appreciated.
Selfishly, I don't want to post the review because I don't want word to get out that this place exists! But, we'll definitely be back - looking forward to it!
