Pat's lovely rustic retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains was a very enjoyable stay.
Just far enough off the beaten path to really feel like a getaway from city strife, but not too far if a quick trip into town is needed. Also, there are many inspiring points of interest in the area to explore. But mostly we just enjoyed the hottub, fireplace, views and woodsy atmosphere. And especially hot coffee in the morning out on the deck gazing out at the Pacific beyond the mountains.
Our accommodating and thoughtful host, Pat, was always there for us if we had questions or needed anything, but mostly it's all pretty self intuitive stuff. A cozy little kitchen, nice big bath with jets, living/sleeping room with super-toasty wood stove type fireplace.
We would like to come back again soon for an extended stay with Pat and her trusty Beagle, Belle. Looking forward to it!
