Perfect Little House
We loved this property. We have stayed in hundreds of vrbos and this is one of our favorites. It is beautiful, comfortable and one of the best well stocked places we have stayed. It is peaceful and quiet yet close to so many things to do. We will definitely come back!

Comfort
The weather during our stay was in the high 80's low 90's and the home had no AC. It would have been fine if a fan had been available. The bed in the only bedroom was very uncomfortable, the bed pillows were very uncomfortable also. Other than these 2 issues the home was very nice.

Newly remodeled, well appointed cottage
Just enjoyed a long weekend at this newly remodeled cottage right off Highway 9 (traffic noise from Hwy is soothed by a nice fountain in the backyard). Great location to enjoy Ben Lomond, Felton and the Santa Cruz area. My husband and I along with our teenage daughter and her best friend stayed with us. We had to share the bathroom with our daughter and her friend. This was awkward in the middle of the night as they were on the sofa bed and had to travel through the master to the bedroom. This inconvenience was expected and our daughter's friend is like family so it wasn't a problem. The master bed was very comfy and the whole house and furnishings are brand new so it was all lovely. They have spared no expense in the kitchen. We cooked a couple times and had everything we needed. The cottage is very close to Henry Cowell State park for hiking and biking! We did the Ropes course and Zip lines at Mt. Hermon Adventures (fantastic tour through the redwoods at tree level!) and it was a blast. Communication with the host was good and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic little cabin with modern interior
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean upon arrival and was stocked with about everything you would likely need. We had a few minor things which were taken care of by the hosts with diligence and care. This is a great little area up in the trees with a fantastic Italian bakery and market right around the corner. The property was very quiet with the acceptable amount of highway noise which is understandable due to its proximity. If you're looking for a great kick off point to visit Santa Cruz, Monterey, Half moon Bay etc, this is a great spot to get to many things within 20 to 90 minutes up and down the coast. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.
