We had a great extended weekend at Joe and Ellen's place. Joe and Ellen provided excellent communication prior to our arrival. The house is in a beautiful part of the Santa Cruz mountains; the neighborhood is secluded and a few turns off the main highway. Though there are neighbors on either side, we never met or interacted with them (or heard them). The place is small, cute, and clean. The hot tub is nice after a long day of hiking in one of the local state parks. We loved it and would happily return!
