Roger and Nancy were perfect hosts. They provided very good communication about the best way to get to their house - using google maps wasn't recommended, they were very welcoming upon arrival, gave us a nice tour and chatted for a while before settling us in to our room. Their house is settled in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains and is very peaceful and a lovely setting. They have several bird feeders that provide for quite an array of birds that Nancy and Roger are happy to tell you about. There home is incredibly environmentally sound as is their lifestyle, from the cars they drive (electric and hybrid) to how they water their garden and heat and cool their house. They are both interesting people who I wished we had more time to talk to. The room was clean, quiet, and stocked with some nice snacks and beverages as well as breakfast items (cereal, muffins, fresh fruit, milk, tea and coffee, etc.) and the bathroom right off the room was clean and well supplied too. Fresh linen was provided and clean dishes replaced those we used. They gave great suggestions about the area such as walks, hikes, places to eat, activities, etc. and had several brochures about activities in the area available. Santa Cruz is a quick 15 - 20 minute drive, accessed by freeway or a beautiful meandering drive through a densely forested route. The only bad thing about this stay was that it was way too short - we were there for a quick weekend for a wedding. I highly recommend a stay with Roger and Nancy.
