The cabin had a very cool layout we enjoyed as a family and the creek was very pretty behind it. Cynthia was wonderful and accommodating. I recommend bringing a knife sharpener if you plan to cook or just your own knives, but you will find all the other dishes you need there and they also supplied towels. Santa Cruz was a 20 min drive away which was great and we really like the Scotts Valley park which had a dog park, skate park and playground and that was very close by to drive to. I appreciated the great line of communication with Cynthia and that makes her a good hostess.
