Cozy home in a beautiful area
Submitted: September 6, 2012

I stayed here with my husband, our two dogs, and another couple, and we all had a great time. The house is in a beautiful area, and while it's a little closer to the highway than I would like, the layout of the property keeps it feeling wooded and secluded - it's fenced too, which is great for the dogs. We particularly loved the two redwood state parks nearby (both have some dog-friendly trails). The property itself was a great space for a getaway - the kitchen is packed with all the gadgets you'll need, the deck is beautiful, the hot tub is cozy, and the fire pit is perfect for s'mores and easy to use. The hammock by the fire ring was also a great spot for curling up with a book. The beds could be improved a little - the main house only has bunk beds and a double bed and the extra cabin has a very uncomfortable king bed. But we were able to move mattresses around to accommodate even our very tall friend and we all slept well. And the owner is a dream to work with - she's friendly and helpful and her house rules made us feel welcomed, not chastised or nagged. If we come back to the Santa Cruz area we will definitely stay here again!
