A cozy little place in the Santa Cruz Mountains, it was perfect for getting rid of my stress for a few days!

The place was subtly decorated for Christmas, decor was tasteful and in line with the surroundings. Coffee and oatmeal were provided, as well as milk. They made a serious effort to make guests feel at home.

Things to be aware of: mountain living in the winter means the electricity goes out sometimes. There also is little to no cell phone signal. I wasn't able to contact some of my Santa Cruz friends from the cabin when the Internet was out, and couldn't access SMS. This was mostly not a big deal, as I have lived in the mountains before. Just a small inconvenience if you really need to communicate.

Overall, I felt very welcome and happy to be secluded when I wanted to be.
