Our Thanksgiving weekend was made so much sweeter thanks to this cabin. We were in Santa Cruz for a family reunion and while everyone else stayed in hotels, we had this little cabin in the woods all to ourselves. The biggest plus was that we we were able to bring our German Shepherd with us. We really appreciated Cyndi & Sal's graciousness - from the "puppy pack" to the use of one of the barn stalls. We never got to use the stall, though, because we were out most of the time and our dog gets so disoriented in new places. Our dog actually enjoyed hanging out under the bed and in the new addition where she could look out the big window. There's also a fenced pasture where we had our dog run and play. I actually wanted to borrow Cyndi & Sal's dogs so they could all play in the pasture but unfortunately, we were short on time.

The cabin was very clean, bed was super comfy, heater warmed up the room pretty well, towels were provided as well as coffee, half n' half and drinking water. We actually bring water wherever we go but extra water is always a good thing. The back yard was so pretty. Looking at a map, this place looks like it's way up in the mountains but it's not. It's just a few minutes from the freeway and the sights along the way were pretty enjoyable. Cell reception was poor but once roaming was on, we were able to send/receive texts. Thanks again Cyndi & Sal! We will definitely come back on our next trip!
