Marie and Peter provide travelers with a lovely green getaway in the midst of residential Santa Cruz. The garden, the hot tub, the sunny common room, and the cozy bedroom all felt warm and welcoming to my 10-year-old son and me. I felt pampered by the fresh flowers, the hot tea, and the proffered slippers. My son was fascinated by the art and musical instruments on display from all over the world. Marie and Peter’s home is peaceful without being the kind of place where a child can’t giggle or make music. Perfect for our needs.
