Our first Air BnB, but not our first BnB. We certainly lucked out with a last minute opening on our drive up the Cali coast. A perfect respite for couples looking to get away from bustle of city life, nestled among the redwoods with a babbling brook nearby to lull you to sleep. Close enough to walk to a state park and a small downtown with essentials, but also close enough to Santa Cruz (10-15 min car ride) if you wanted a day by the beach and restaurant variety.
Nate and Brianna are excellent hosts. We were running late from a long drive and they stayed up to ensure our access to the trailer. They were very helpful with advice on the area in terms of walking/hiking, food suggestions and public transportation. I must say that I'm a bit biased about our stay because all the little things and general aesthetics were up our alley. That said there are a few things that may not work out for everyone, but we thoroughly enjoyed them. You do share a bathroom/shower in the main house, but they provide you with all the essentials and give you enough space that you don't feel intrusive or in the way, however they are around if you have questions. They have a wonderful dog and cat, chickens, garden and grounds with antiques including the cabin space. The cabin is cozy, ideal for couples, hopefully not to tall :-) After a week of travel, I finally got a good nights sleep here.
I would definitely stay again.
