Staying at Voss Gardens was a treat. My mother and I spent a few days traveling through Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Big Sur and spent a Friday night at Voss Gardens.

Eden has an extensive background in the hospitality industry and it shows! Eden is a very friendly and welcoming host. Little homemade cookie were left in our room, and a small pull-out bed was provided for me in the room so that my mom could have the full-sized bed to herself.

Eden was very flexible with check-in and check-out times. We arrived after dark - drive slowly as the roads are windy and not well-lit - but Eden provided thourough directions on finding the house. My mom and I left very early in the morning for a kayak tour and Eden provided coffee, tea, and homemade bread for fuel. We returned after the tour to an amazing lunch. Eden used fresh greens and flowers from her garden for a salad, and we had a meal of quiche, hash browns, and bacon, with berries and cream for dessert, out on her deck overlooking the garden and surrounding forest.

Eden really does have a unique and special house in the middle of the forest, with lots of windows for sunlight. Recommended as a unique and immersive alternative to the hotels in the nearby city!
