We LOVED this place! Jay and Linda have a great piece of property. The cottage was very cozy and well stocked- it was as great as it looks. They were wonderful hosts- they gave us good directions, and were there to meet us when we arrived- they also had a fire and bottle of wine waiting for us!
We loved the posters and the giant skylights (which let a lot of light in and let us enjoy the surrounding redwoods). Overall, the setting is just incredible and the cottage was really comfortable. The jacuzzi tub set into the deck was by far our favorite feature!
There is a little corner store nearby for the basics, and the town of Soquel is close by- we were looking to get away from things and relax for a few days- so we stayed in every night and cooked dinner, listened to cd's, and drank wine by the fire (it was perfect). We spent one day mountain biking at the Soquel Demonstration State Forest, which is about 30 minutes away. I can't say enough good things about this place- we hope to come back in the future and do some more exploring of the area.
