One tip: come to check in during the day time! We got into Soquel a bit later than we expected and it was extremely dark out. In order to get to the home you have to take a narrow one lane road and cross a bridge. There are no sidewalks, no lamps- nothing- and if you are unfamiliar with that area then it is very scary! When my friend and I finally arrived and parked we were both trembling! Looking back, it was kind of funny but at the time we were terrified that we were going to fall off the road into the stream. The cabin was nice, clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and we slept like logs! The next day we woke up to the sound of roosters! We went outside and met two of the sweetest horses I've ever seen, several beautiful little goats, tons of chickens and of course the singing rooster and a few friendly cats and dogs! The redwoods surrounded us, the sound of nature enveloped us- from the sound of the creek beneath us to the sound of the birds above us! It was perfect!! If you want to get away from the city- come here! Just keep in mind that you are not going to get there by a city road! :)
