This is a lovely place to stay. It is safe, clean, comfortable, quiet, and attractive. Cyndi and Sal were as friendly as we wanted them to be, being neither intrusive nor unfriendly. The fold-out bed in the living room is the most comfortable convertible sofa/bed I have ever slept on.

The fresh eggs in the fridge, the kitchen area, the spice rack, and the canister of oatmeal made us feel like guests and not customers.

And there were horses! And goats! Not running around loose, mind you, because this is a ranch, not a petting zoo, but still... Star gazing is amazing because of the lack of city light pollution. At night the creek adjacent to the property sings whatever melody creeks sing.

The narrow, single lane road that leads to this charming cabin is a little disturbing to born-and-bred flatlanders, but we got accustomed to it pretty quickly. The drive into downtown Soquel was about fifteen minutes.

Internet connectivity was sketchy when we were there. If you require 24/7 connectivity, this might be a problem. If so, it is likely to be the only problem you have at this wooded retreat.
