Such a magical place...it was hard to leave this little sanctuary nestled in redwoods. Though we didn't use the hot tub, there is a fabulous outdoor shower, backyard for sunning and a lazy hammock in front (perfect for napping or reading). Quiet and serene, it made for the perfect getaway. Three of us stayed and it accomodated us perfectly--one full bedroom and then a murphy bed with a sliding door to section off the area for privacy. Basically it was as if we had a 2 bedroom house. It's also close to stores, restaurants and 15 minutes from Santa Cruz. Ellen was incredibly responsive and helpful..the places is stocked with natural soap and towels. We would absolutely stay again and again and again...and our friends that were visiting lusted over this place and plan to book on their next trip to the area.
