Description of the Santa Cruz vacation cottage rental

Welcome to “The Pest House Manor.” (My Grandfather named this cottage with humor back in 1922). I invite you to come stay and unwind from the frantic buzz of the city. Leave it all behind, and wrap your self in the peace and quiet of the forest, where the sound of the river at the foot of the back door will bring you comfort. You are welcome to hike on over 25 private acres of redwood forest, sunny oak studded knolls, and somewhat tame gardens. Some are planned trails, some are dog trails, and some are deer trails…some from fox, bob cat, and other wild creatures. I grow over 21 varieties of heirloom tomatoes to grace your dinners in the early fall. Fresh live crab, and wild ocean salmon in season. Enjoy art, wine, beach, music, biking, hiking events, road side taverns of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Come paint, write or hang out and just relax.

Ping Pong, Badmitten, Horse shoes, Swimming, dominoes, bridge, painting, writing, The Owl Grove: The 3 outdoor beds nestle in a grove of redwoods close enough to the house, but far away enough to be a bit adventuresome for the younger children.
