Laura and Mason have a beautiful studio in the woods. My daughter and I were looking for a quiet place to stay that was close to Santa Cruz. The location could not have been better! We spent some days playing at the Boardwalk and some days playing in the woods, and this place was close to all of it. In fact, after I fractured my thumb at the zip line place (my own fault), I was really happy that Kaiser Permanente was just around the corner!
The unit, itself, was beautiful, with high ceilings and lots of windows. It cooled down nicely after a short time with the cooling unit turned on. We saw deer and trees, and we heard nothing but the sounds of the woods.
The only recommendation I would make is to keep a cot or blow-up mattress in one of the closets. The place is big enough, but there's only a queen-sized bed and a sofa that's too short to sleep on. We brought a camping bed for my daughter to sleep on so that we would both have our own beds.
Laura sent a few messages to us early in the visit to check in, and we ran into Mason in the driveway and had a lovely talk.
I can't recommend Laura and Mason's place enough!
