We had a truly memorable experience staying in the Tree House at FlipJack Ranch. Everything about our stay was unique, yet comfortable. Each morning we were greeted by the sound of roosters and hens while we lifted up, via pulley, our morning tray of coffee and tea to sip on while we prepared for the breakfast being lovingly prepared below. As we snacked on fresh, grilled pineapple or hand-picked berries, Robin would gather eggs from the chicken coop 30 yards away and make us some of the most delicious, culturally inspired breakfast dishes we’ve ever tasted. We had shirred eggs, french omelets, pancakes, mushroom cap ice cream, and more. We even had a surprise visit from a gorgeous peacock who was eager to show off in exchange for some treats.
Robin has done much traveling herself, and it shows. She is an amazing host. There’s plenty to do and see on the Ranch if you’re so inclined, but it’s also possible to quietly enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells from the privacy of your balcony situated in the giant redwoods. You’re a 5 minute drive from a beautiful beach, and only about 15 minutes away from the fun little town of Santa Cruz. We didn’t have much of a cell signal while on the Ranch, but we were happy to be free from distractions. Everyone who we had the pleasure of meeting at the B&B was as pleased with their stay as we were. We highly recommend you give Robin and the FlipJack Ranch a visit. We hope to return again!
PS - Say hi to the angry rooster we name Joffrey (from Game of Thrones). You'll understand when you meet him.
