If you're lucky enough to see availability for your dates, grab it! Pete is an incredibly gracious host - he's thought of every amenity, the rooms are so inviting (we've come multiple times and stayed in both), and is a fabulous baker of morning treats. His yard and aviary are amazing, I love walking the paths, discovering nooks and crannies, or just sitting in one of the many places with a cup of coffee soaking in the nature. Pete - this will always be the first place we try to stay when we visit Santa Cruz!!
