We had a great stay at Shannon's. We walked through the front gate into a lush, peaceful, serene world. Shannon greeted us warmly and then took us to our cottage. The view from our room and private deck was phenomenal......we looked down into a wooded area with not one evidence of another home or phone pole or sign of humanity. On our counter were brownies, sliced strawberries, and croissants. The refrigerator had goodies as well. The bed was a temperpedic with a gorgeous headboard and linens. As I woke up the next morning I thought that I'd like to take this beautiful bedroom home with me. Shannon was so willing to tell us about the area, and she even drew a map for us. Next time we come to Santa Cruz we'll stay here again.
