Had the best time here with my husband and our 2.5 yr old daughter. The house was great and larger than I expected and the property was so beautiful. It was fun letting our daughter kind of wander around and explore all the fun things, flowers, chickens & the doggy Hazel. You felt so secluded and tucked into the mountains but it was also a quick drive to everywhere you needed to go. We did Santa Cruz, the beach, dinners out. There was plenty things that were local-ish. We enjoyed our stay so much. Howard was so friendly and we loved his dog, hazel.
