We had a lovely, peaceful time in the large, well-equipped room and attached bath. It was great to have an affordable, dog-friendly place to stay near Santa Cruz with beautiful nearby hiking trails. The family was gone for most of our stay, so it was quite quiet except for an hour or so after they returned home, when it sounded like we were in the middle of a noisy family home. (In fairness, they mention this explicitly in the description and also prior to confirming the reservation.) The power-sawing of tree branches starting ~8:30 am the day we checked out was quite noisy, but I imagine this is not a frequent occurrence.
