Oh, this place is beautiful and peaceful! Right outside your window is a group of redwood trees, and the stream at the back was running and gave such a peaceful sound during our stay. Freddie, our host, was very helpful and communicative and turned on the outside lights for our late arrival, making us feel both welcome and expected. The quiet of the forest and the babbling of the stream lulled us to sleep in the comfortable bed, and in the morning there were coffee, tea and a cute little "milk bottle" of cream in the fridge. So we had coffee sitting down near the stream, so peaceful and calm. The studio is located within walking distance of one of the trailheads at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, and a 15 minute drive from Santa Cruz. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat in the redwoods, this is the place. We will be back!
