The Dragonfly Cottage is absolutely beautiful! We greatly enjoyed our stay here, and I would highly recommend it to others. The views are incredible; you are in a redwood forest (it smells amazing too)! We especially liked the little area near the hot tub. You can look out from the hot tub into the forest; so very relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped, and we cooked most of our meals at the cottage. We spent one day in Santa Cruz (not very far at all) and the rest of the time at the cottage (although I could see how easy it could be to not leave the cottage at all)! We enjoyed sipping our coffee on the porch and watching the hummingbirds (and at night listening to the owls hooting). Thanks again for the wonderful stay!
