Lori and Gian were wonderful hosts, and the cottage was lovely. I enjoyed the simplicity of the place; it felt uncluttered, spacious, and restful. I didn't have a car during my stay, but the cottage was so close to restaurants and grocery stores that I could easily walk to get what I needed. Getting downtown on foot was easy as well. I highly recommend the Happy Hen Garden Cottage and would love to stay there again on my next trip to Santa Cruz.
