The location was perfect. You're nestled around redwood trees. It's about 10-15 minutes to Santa Cruz and we had no issues going in and out. Waking up in the morning, you can hear the steam train nearby tooting its horn off in the distance. The only complaint I'd have is the bed was okay for 2 people and there was someone's shirt left behind possibly from the last stay on the top storage area with the extra blankets.
