Steve and his wife were super friendly. We ran into them a couple of times as we were coming and going from the room. They said hello and checked in, but were not at all "pushy". This space was perfect for just my husband I, but I couldn't imagine having any more people than that. The creek was a nice spot to come home and relax at the end of the day. The location was perfect for us as well. It is just about 15 minutes from Big Basin state park and about 2 minutes from the town of Boulder Creek which had just enough options for dinner/beer/coffee/groceries during a quick 2 night stay. It is also about 30 minutes from Santa Cruz, which was also well worth the trip. I'd absolutely recommend Steve's place if the description fits your needs.
