Fortunately, we have two private parking spaces to offer guests. Shorter cars/SUVs (< 6’ high) should be able to fit in the carport under the deck relatively easily. Taller SUVs and trucks may need to park in the upper spot, which can be a bit tricky. We'll send instructions with guidance upon booking to make it as seamless as possible. -Please note guests will need to walk up a flight of stairs to access the front door and main living area.-As noted above, there is no door separating the downstairs bedroom from the upstairs.Window to the Redwoods is our sanctuary, and we are so excited to share it with you! We hope it gives you the same reprieve from the day-to-day hustle that we find each visit.
