This place is a hidden gem. Beautifully updated inside, the cottage had ample space for the four of us who had rented it for a writing retreat. I had serious kitchen envy. The gardens surrounding the house are lovely and it was a short walk down the road to the Beauregard Winery Tasting Room when we needed a writing break. Ed was there to greet us when we checked in and made sure we had enough towels, etc, right away instead of waiting for us to discover a problem. The owner of the property even came over to say hi. A pleasant and productive weekend was had by all. One note: If you are heading here from the San Jose side of the mountain, do not trust Google Maps unless you want a wild ride through the backroads off Old Santa Cruz Highway for no apparent reason. You can stay on 17 until Mt. Harmon, or go all the way around to Hwy 1 through Santa Cruz, and cut back on Bonny Doon Rd if winding back roads are not your cup of tea. It's more of a straight shot. I would highly recommend this property and I hope to get back there soon.
