Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage.

The A-frame house is quite hidden on a tiny road just outside a little town called Felton, which is about 15 minutes along some windy, wooded roads from Santa Cruz. The surrounding area is all redwoods and tall trees, and it's a great location if you're looking for a hike or a visit to the area.

The house itself is quite beautiful, with one side being all glass window looking out into forest and a little stream. If it had been warmer, I imagine it would've been very nice to sit outside with a cup of coffee in the mornings. The house is comfy, with a good-sized and functional kitchen -- we cooked breakfast and dinner twice. The bed was comfortable, and the house kept nice and warm. There isn't really a fireplace, however; it's an iron furnace. We brought our own firewood and had a fine time over New Year's Eve.
