Laura and Mason’s room was the perfect forested writing retreat for me during a required four full days of graduate exams. The internet was fast and reliable, the neighborhood was quiet and beautiful, the place was set-up very comfortably with helpful touches (mini fridge, microwave, keurig and electric kettle) and the stove added a fabulous ambiance. Laura and Mason were quick to respond if I had any questions. A great quiet retreat option that feels farther away from Santa Cruz than it is!
