My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the windy road up the mountains and the solitude of Judy's place. This was a great, quiet spot away from any noise and the perfect location between San Jose and Santa Cruz. We were able to meet friends for dinner Friday night at Santana Row and then spend a Saturday with family at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Judy and Dean greeted us when we arrived and even offered to help carry our bags to our room. The bed was comfortable and the entire place was clean. Judy provided us with some breakfast - bagels and cream cheese, yogurt, plums, and cherries - and we also brought our own snacks that we stored in the fridge. There is also plenty of plates, cups, and eating utensils, and water, coffee, and tea available. The sitting area outside was lovely. We had breakfast outside and spent the morning looking at the trees and all of the interesting moths that flew by our door. It was a fairly hot weekend and we managed just fine with the fan and a bit of the cool air that blew in from the vents and the windows. Judy was kind enough to offer any ice or an additional water or fan each day, which we declined. We often returned late in the evening and despite being in such a forested area Judy had porch lights on to keep the path to our room well-lit. The one parking space was ideal - just big enough for our little Subaru hatchback and easy to enter and exit from the road. Communication with Judy before and during our trip was easy and straightforward; she is literally a text message away and gave us lots of privacy. Wonderful location and such a welcoming host!
