What a cozy little crash-cabin 20 mins outside of Santa Cruz. The cottage itself is beautiful new construction, with a comfy bed and plenty of heat sources. Note: there isn't a full kitchen, so make sure your food options reflect this.
The real show stopper: the grounds. What a gorgeous, peaceful, rustically manicured piece of property. The large windows in the bedroom made for magical morning views of the pond and surrounding redwoods. Dog lovers ourselves, having friendly Hazel around was a treat! She is quite friendly.
The location and the the home was lovely. It rained heavily the weekend we were there and couldn't get our car to start: so we called Ed for some assistance. He was so friendly and gracious, got us fixed up with some WD40 and a remote generator to jump the car.
Ed deserves a superhero cape for coming to our friend's rescue down the road when her truck was 9 inches deep in mud (on her way to bring us some spark plugs, btw). He TOWED our friends car out for us. He really saved us, and did it without batting an eye.
A lovely cottage, lovely grounds, and a lovely groundskeeper! Thank you!
