We had a lovely long weekend at Shannon's guest house. The guest house was perfect for us. Right outside of the sliding glass door, a forested canyon stretches out in front of the outdoor porch. It's peaceful and quiet. The bathroom is very clean and it feels like a small spa. The Wi-Fi is good in the house so we were able to do some work while we were up there. It only takes a couple minutes to drive into town and it is really close to all the beaches and parks that we wanted to visit while we were in Santa Cruz.
