AMAZING location. You feel like your on top of the world. The cabin is super cute, the beds are comfortable and you feel like your completely secluded, but you are only 10 minutes to food, etc. The kitchen is a bit small, but works for basic meals, breakfast, snacks, etc. (just don't plan on elaborate meals). We had a fire several nights and the stove works great. We did the Buddha hike and it was awesome. Approx. 6 miles - Moderate (98% of the hike is shaded with the forest canopy) . One last tip, Akira Sushi in Santa Cruz (super casual and excellent food). Excellent experience:)
