Having visited and stayed before at this cozy home, it was no less charming and welcoming this time around. I have a daughter who is attending U.C. Santa Cruz, and will be seeking more opportunities to stay here when the need arises. It is about a 12 minute drive from Santa Cruz, but worth the distance when you factor in the beauty of the coastal mountain environment. It's quiet enough to enjoy the wind blowing through the trees, and Hazel (the resident dog) never fails to make us feel right at home. Ed has been easy to reach whenever I needed to check in, and has returned my emails promptly, which I greatly appreciate. For those looking to get away from it all, this is your place!
