Fantastic! Excellent location the redwoods above Santa Cruz/Watsonville (about 25 minutes winding up from Hwy 1). Mary Jane and Martin made it easy and we're very attentive with my questions via phone/text. The cottage is very well maintained and in great shape. Excellent view of the morning marine layer melting away to sunshine in the afternoon.

My trip parameters: Solo getaway from San Francisco for a music writing quick retreat. They have a full upright in-tune piano. worked out great. I didn't get in the car the whole time. Excellent jog/hiking road through the redwoods nearby.

Grab groceries in Santa Cruz or Freedom, you won't want to bother going back into town. Amazing hot tub with a view. All amenities were great.
