We enjoyed our stay at Joe's place! The trees and river are so beautiful! The space is comfy and clean. The bed is comfortable, and so is the recliner couch. I appreciated the coffee pod machine. We visited the Loch Lomond Recreation Area and were enchanted by the lake, so quiet and tranquil. We also drove to Ano Nuevo State Park, but they do not allow dogs, so bummer. Instead we visited Greyhound Rock Marine Sanctuary Area down the road from there, and the beach was practically empty and gorgeous. The Wild Roots Market in town is fabulous for stuff to microwave (the quiche!) and the Tree House Cafe had terrific lattes made by super friendly folks. Santa Cruz County is certainly lovely.
