The story behind The Crow's Nest Retreat and the people who care for it.
Your host
Ali is the host of The Crow's Nest Retreat, a 5-bedroom redwood getaway in Boulder Creek, California. Our family fell in love with the Santa Cruz Mountains almost a decade ago and we've spent years restoring this property to be the gathering place we always wished existed. We want every guest — couples, families, groups of friends — to leave feeling fully unplugged and already planning their next visit.
From the property itself to the surrounding redwoods and Santa Cruz coast.
5 bedrooms, 11 beds, sleeps 12 — laid out across multiple floors in the redwoods.
Beaches, redwood parks, and family activities within 30 minutes of the house.
19 trails across the Santa Cruz Mountains, sorted by length, difficulty, and kid-friendliness.
Host-written guides to the area — itineraries, beach picks, seasonal tips.
What couples, families, and groups have said after their stays.
Common questions about the property, booking, and the area.
