If you are looking for a bit of rustic in nature with a great location for multiple activities to explore, this is your place. The four of us had plenty of comfortable space. We enjoyed the deck for morning coffee and the kitchen for preparing food. Our teens loved the big TV on which they played their video games. Julie and Gavin are right next door and are really nice and they gave us our privacy while offering suggestions for eating and activities. Just know that you can't really walk or hike from the cabin itself, but everything is a very short drive and the Coastal Redwoods are fantastic. We discovered a skate park nearby and a local swimming hole in the river at Junction Park in Boulder Creek. The Cowboy Bar & Grill was delicious and reasonable. Zip-lining at Mt Herman was a bit pricey but fun. Santa Cruz a just about a 25 minute drive and we went there twice on our four day stay. We beached at Sea Cliff while the kids played at the Boardwalk. We took in four California State Parks in four days. We highly recommend this place for exploring the Santa Cruz Mountains area.
