This is my second time staying at Flipjack Ranch. Last time I took my mom who was visiting California, and this time I brought my partner for birthday weekend getaway. Trust me when I tell you to make sure to treat yourself to the home cooked dinner. Robin is an amazing chef, as you'll also learn over her epic farm fresh breakfasts. A walk about and tour to meet the farm animals is a must do, as is evening wine out by the fire pit. Santa Cruz is only about a 20 minute drive away if you feel like heading into town, and there are wineries nearby for tasting.
