Four Creeks Redwood Retreat
Nestled deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Four Creeks is a hidden gem that embodies the essence of off-grid living and getting away from the matrix. Your journey begins at our gated entrance where paved roads transition into gravel and dirt, leading you through four shallow creeks and deep into the heart of the redwoods.
Surrounded by 19,000 acres of forest, this unique location offers guests a window into something truly magical and a silence that is both pristine and rejuvenating. with world-class mountain biking and hiking trails in our backyard, and easy access to Hinkley and Soquel Creeks, you can make the mountains your home for the duration of your stay. And if you feel like exploring, we are just 12 miles from downtown Santa Cruz, and a few miles further to the coast.
Four Creeks is fully off-grid and powered by solar, propane, and wood burning stoves. All our power is stored in four 700 pound lead-acid batteries and a 12,000 watt generator that kicks on automatically when needed. Our water is sourced from a spring and travels thru the woods for a mile before entering our tanks for use on the land.
On-site, you will be staying in a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin with a full kitchen, wrap-around deck, and massive redwoods at your fingertips. The cabin has high vaulted ceilings, multiple skylights, and large windows looking out into the forest.
