I can’t say enough great things about Vicki’s cottage! First of all the location is perfect. It’s close to the redwoods and within walking distance to a nice hike. It’s also a short drive to Santa Cruz and the surrounding area. Next, the first thing I noticed was how spotlessly clean the place was on arrival. The cottage is well-appointed and with cute decor. It looks like the kitchen and bathroom were recently updated and the appliances are in brand new condition. I was traveling with my husband and dogs including 2 labradoodles and a bichon frise and the space was perfect for us. Having the patio off the entrance was so nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful forest surroundings. The cottage itself has great insulation and with the windows closed, we couldn’t hear any outside noise. Finally, Vicki was a fantastic hostess. She was extremely responsive and even shared fresh eggs with us from her chickens. I would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling with well behaved dogs and especially a solo traveler, couple, or family with a child. Thanks Vicki!!
