We love this place! Tad and Rebecca are wonderful hosts. They live on the property but give their guests plenty of space and privacy. The location to Henry Cowell State Park and the Santa Cruz city and beaches makes it the best of both city and country. They have friendly horses and chickens which our son loved visiting each day. Tad and Rebecca are always very quick to respond to messages and are very thoughtful with special touches in the cottage. I can't think of even one thing that wasn't 5 stars about this place. Highly recommended!
