Ray and Cathy provide an exceptional experience. They are very gracious, friendly, thoughtful and responsive hosts. Their home is spotless and beautiful and the room is very spacious and comfy and well appointed (and it came with some yummy chocolate treats!) The private bathroom is also large and nice. The living and patio areas are all very nice and inviting and the kitchen had everything I needed to make my own meals, when I wasn't enjoying the breakfast they laid out each morning. They went out of their way to make my stay very relaxing and I really appreciated all of the brochures for the great state parks and beaches and local attractions they provided, along with the pass for the state parks and the local amenity recommendations. They are located very close to downtown Santa Cruz which has great restaurants and attractions. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, peaceful place in the trees with access to lots of fun things to do, and outstanding hosts, this is the place!
