Patricia was kind and welcoming. The room had very comfortable beds and surprisingly, a full bathroom. Price was cheap compared to traditional hotels within 10 mi. radius. I love the area and her house and grounds are very typical of the "mountain folk" of the Santa Cruz mountains that I used to know. Unfortunately for us, we had some bad luck. 6" of rain that weekend meant no view of Monterey Bay and no hanging out on the deck. Patricia asked us to park outside the property and call her, but my cell did not receive service there. Walking down the driveway and having a very small room turned out to be a little awkward for the end of a trip when we wanted to go thru all our luggage and reorganize. My friend wanted to hike several miles the next morning but found the steep roadway leading to the driveway to be discouraging. Despite these small troubles, it was still the best option for us that night. I am writing just so future guests know these little things can be issues and can work out anything they need to with the hostess ahead of time.
