A laid-back, luxury retreat & event destination in the Santa Cruz Redwoods.

The Waterfall Lodge & Retreat is peaceful and private, nestled in the lush redwood forest of the Santa Cruz mountains. 

We are located 20 minutes from the beaches of Santa Cruz, California and are about a half hour from San Jose.

The lodge is built with 19th Century reclaimed barn wood and lumber milled from downed trees on the mountain itself. A breathtaking blend of historic beauty and rustic charm, you’ll feel immediately transported. Onsite you will find 32 cabins, a magnificent lodge, a sunny meadow, and endless opportunities for adventure among the redwoods.

The first thing you’ll notice when stepping foot onto Waterfall Lodge is the way the fresh air feels as it completely surrounds you. Everywhere you look is full of beauty and wonder. Get lost in the moment as you gather with friends, truly enjoying each other away from the hustle of everyday life. Enjoy activities in the sunny meadow, laugh together as you enjoy a meal around the fire, then fall asleep in one of our cozy cabins as you listen to the falling water of Hidden Falls.

 I could not have imagined a more beautiful place for our venue or a friendlier team for an easy process.
