The Tree House at Flipjack Ranch was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The House was beautiful, perched between a stand of ancient redwoods. It was immaculate, airy, spacious, bright, and comfortable, with a 360 degree view of the ranch and the redwoods. While the toilet and the shower are located outside the house on the deck of the treehouse platform, they were spotlessly clean and easily accessible. What an experience to be able to shower and look up into a canopy of towering redwoods!
Robin and her staff were wonderful hosts. Their warmth, friendliness, and attention to detail made the stay a rich and memorable experience. The wake-up tray of coffee/tea and a small breakfast snack of Madeleines or Biscotti placed every morning in a basket we could haul up to the Tree House with a rope and pulley was a great way to start each morning. The breakfasts were wonderful and the setting exquisite. We were even privileged to be provided a fashion show one morning during breakfast provided by a local peacock who wandered onto the patio and slowly rotated to display his beautiful plumage while we were eating!
The property is an extremely relaxing environment which provides guests with the opportunity to stroll through both the ranch portion of the property as well as hike through the wonderful redwood stand behind the main house.
Flipjack Ranch is also located conveniently close to all of the wonderful sites and restaurants in the Santa Cruz area: the redwoods, the sea coast, the cities of Santa Cruz, Capitola, and many more great places to explore. We unreservedly give the Tree House and Flipjack Ranch a five star rating!!
