This cottage is a magical gem! The perfect place to unwind and decompress. We were surrounded at every vantage point in the cottage with views of trees and the creek. Though we were in a sparsely populated area we felt as if we were out in the woods by ourselves. Marvelous! We enjoyed quiet evenings by the wood burning stove listening to the creek in the back below the deck. My children enjoyed exploring the pathway to the creek and splashing in the water. There is a safety gate for travelers with smaller children to control the access to the creek. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen provided plenty of room to enjoy the cabin with home cooked meals. We had rainy weather ( which was very peaceful) during our stay but when we return we plan to enjoy the outside spaces and bbq area for dining. Also beautiful. The location is ideal! Very close to the coast, many state parks, and Santa Cruz proper.In the town of Felton, there is an AMAZING health food and natural foods grocery store that exceeds Whole Foods by a mile! And a wonderful locally owned DVD rental place for a movie night. Our hostess and host were very kind and answered all of our questions about the area and the cabin. My children were happy to learn of the ice cream bars left for them by our hosts after a long days travel. I highly recommend a trip to this little cabin in the woods! It would be comfortable for couples and families. There is ample room to have an extended stay and with plenty of outdoor space and private space inside for a family with several children. There is Wi-Fi access to help navigate your trip or do business. No issues with cell phone reception either. Do not miss this hidden treasure!
