Steve and Mary were a great host! The property is beautiful and being in the middle of the redwoods was so relaxing! The fire pit was a wonderful added amenity - wish we were able to be there in the warm weather so we could fully enjoy the river! Would definitely come back!! Steve was super helpful with helping us on recommendations for food and places to go. The place was spotless, and the Nintendo system kept us busy on the rainy day! The tea and coffee station were plentiful and there were utensils for reheating any leftover foods. Off-street parking was an added bonus on the main road, was weary about the noise but hardly heard any disturbances from the street in the apartment.
The apartment is a great central location to Santa Cruz & San Francisco with just about an hour drive to either one. The San Jose airport is only a 40 minute drive via Bear Creek road , a very scenic route but a windy road! Steve provided alternate routes depending on your destination and was happy to assist with directions.
Would recommend to anyone traveling solo or with a partner and would definitely return! Overall a five-star experience.
