Fred was an excellent host and his place was absolutely wonderful! The room was very cozy and welcoming, complete with a creek that you can hear from the window. The hot tub was great to relax in after a hiking at Henry Cowell State Park (which was right down the street)! The location was perfect because it felt very secluded in the redwoods but it was still only 15-20 minutes away from downtown Santa Cruz. I would definitely recommend staying here, it was really beautiful and hassle free
