Weekend Getaway

Gravenstein Cottage is cozy and quiet. We enjoyed Mark's amazing pastries delivered to us each morning, walking among giant redwoods at Armstrong Grove, and along the coast at Shell Beach. A wonderful time.

Great weekend getaway!

This was a nice weekend getaway for myself and my dog (who often can’t travel as she exceeds pet weight limits). Mark was so welcoming and kind to us both during our stay. My dog loved playing in the creek next to the property.

Fantastic stay among the redwoods!!!

This is an amazing place - a beautiful cottage among centuries-old redwoods, next door to a real bakery! Mark is a wonderful host, and he makes fantastic bread and other treats. On Friday nights there is live music and fresh pizza at the bakery, a real local hot-spot. At any other time, it's the epitome of tranquility. Thank you Mark for your hospitality!!!

Needs TLC

I've lived in a tiny mountain town for years so I was looking forward to quiet and nature. Unfortunately that did not happen here. The bakery was not open during the week (not indicated on listing) although we were going to have pastry and coffee delivered in the morning. The property itself was not maintained. My husband thought it was deserted and not even operating. I know this is a different review than others have written because I read them all before we went and trusted them. If you are looking for solitude...a place to relax in a comfortable location...this is not for you. The cottage itself was fine and clean but not true to the photos in the listing. The owner seemed very nice and welcoming. The main issue was the condition of the property...it needs TLC...it could be such a lovely place....but currently it is not.

Heaven

Hospitality and Tranquility beneath the shadows of the Elim Redwood grove best describes our experience. Naturally, the fresh, warm French pastry served daily, the nearby rugged coastal beaches, and the iconic Cazzadaro grocery store deli call us back very soon. If you need detachment from the world, Raymond’s Bakery is the place. Enjoy! Thank you Mark and family.

A Wonderful Stay

Wow! Mark's place was absolutley fantastic. Upon our arrival, our cottage had a beautiful fire inviting us in, along with a variety of cherished treasures inside the cottage. My wife and I sat near the fire, playing cards and listening to old LP's on the record player. What a great experience. Mark provided amazing fresh baked pastries and breads which were second to none, hot out of the oven!! We also got to sample his amazing fresh roasted coffee beans in our provided coffee maker. Absolute heaven! Spending time with Mark and the other guests at the campfire, we realized this was a unique experience. Thank you Mark for your wonderful hospitality and making our getaway unforgettable.

Tranquility and hospitality

Mark and his family have created a peaceful and cozy spot off the beaten path and are very generous hosts. Mostly all you can hear is the wind in the trees and a soft tap at the door when he delivers his freshly baked treats and coffee in the morning.

Cozy cabin escape under the redwoods

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in the Gravenstein cabin, and Mark was an incredibly accommodating and kind host who went out of his way to make our first family get away since before pandemic extra special! The cabin, true to listing, is perfect for 2 adults, and for keeping an eye on our 1 yo and pup. While we spent the days hiking the local state parks and along the coast, we loved coming back to the cabin at the end of the day to curl up beside a fire in the new woodstove and put on the record player with an impressive selection of vinyl to pick from. Mark dropped off fresh out of the oven breads and pastries every morning - not to be missed! While the towering redwoods obscure much of the sky, where you can see through at night, the stars were stunningly bright, so worth stepping out from the cabin at night to appreciate the majesty of the location both in day and night.

Magical Redwoods Stay

We stayed at Raymond's Bakery & B&B for a week, Marc and his friends and family made us very comfortable and cozy in the Greenstein Cabin. Wood burning fireplace was a welcoming warm surprise each morning, along with Marc's pastries, bread & treats. Thank you all for the wonderful stay.

Unique and Cozy Stay in a Beautiful Location

We enjoyed a lovely 2 night stay in the Gravenstein Cottage. Mark was an extremely gracious host and made it clear that he wanted to do whatever he could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The cabin was quite small as expected, but very cozy, and we loved having the wood burning stove to keep warm. It was also fun to explore the property and enjoy the fun space that's been carved out there, and we interacted a bit with Mark and his family, all of whom couldn't have been nicer. The baked goodies that were provided were also outstanding! Our only complaint was with the difficulty of preparing and enjoying meals during our stay. Under normal circumstances, I would just say this is the kind of place where you should plan to have your meals out: there's no kitchen in the cabin and it's too tiny to add much else. But given the pandemic, we wanted to be able to cook for ourselves, and with restaurants doing take-out only, we'd still need a comfortable place to EAT the food if we went out. The Gravenstein Cottage didn't have a coffee table or anywhere very comfortable to sit down to a meal, and there were very limited plates, cups, and utensils available in the cabin. We made due, and Mark was really helpful in setting us up with a gas grill, access to an outdoor propane stovetop, and any supplies/utensils we asked for. It just would have been easier if there were a few more essentials already provided in the cabin (things like coffee filters, salt and pepper, extra plates...). Anything we asked for we received, but it felt a little awkward to have to contact Mark (who could be at a number of different places on the property) for everything. I also think the listing on VRBO could use more photos and some updated ones: the picture of the living room shows a little table in front of the couch that wasn't there, but would have been useful! Had we had a better idea of what would be available, we probably would have prepped a little better and brought more of our own stuff. With that said, we still had a great time and truly appreciated Mark and his family's hospitality. Would love to come back sometime in the warmer months when the pandemic is over, as I think we would have been able to enjoy things even more under better circumstances!

Property was great. Beautiful and relaxing. Very tucked away and so be prepared. Although there is WI-fi, you still get a lousy reception. So bring some good movies from home, bring some table games and some good music. Bottle of wine, crackers and cheese. Plus, bring a few meals so u don’t have to travel out to eat. Mark was very gracious and his baking skills are great!!! Loved every food item. Wat a hidden gem👌😊

Come for the cozy cottage, stay for the delicious pastries

This cottage provides the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. The cottage sits among beautiful gardens, and a patio area that contains a cozy fire pit. There's tons to do nearby, or just cuddle up by the wood burning stove, and enjoy some delicious bread & pastries from Raymond's Bakery. Bonus: You couldn't ask for a better host!
