Great location and accommodations. We thought the pool would be private. We didn't realize it was in front of the main house's living room so we didn't use it as the main house was occupied. Parking was off the street which was great.

Great location. It was very comfortable and truly felt like my home away from home.

I will definitely consider staying here again. The owners were very nice. . They added some light touches of Christmas with some very well place but not overstated decorations. It was so much nicer than staying at a hotel.

So wonderful! Relaxing and cozy.

This was a wonderful and relaxing stay. Our family came down to go to Disneyland and we were so happy to have found The Retreat at Goose Hollow. Katie was a wonderful host and was so accommodating to our family. My boys loved staying at “the little house”. We will definitely stay here next time we are in the area. Thank you Katie!

Had a great time in the retreat at Goose Hollow

Even though we had challenges in finding the place late in the night because of my phone not working properly, Katie helped us out locate the place quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the retreat at Goose Hollow. It's a really nice and cozy place to stay which is quite close to DisneyLand. A nice perk of staying at the place was that the kitchen was super equipped!

We were looking for something away from the crowds and this was the perfect spot for us. This was a tucked away space that had a full kitchen, well-equipped living room, and comfortable beds. The host was amazing and was helpful at every step in the process. We would definitely stay here again.
