Ray and Cathy were inviting and hospitable hosts. When Christine and I arrived they greeted us and showed us our sleeping area as well as their living room which included a beautiful piano that they graciously let Christine play. They also provided pamphlets for various locations in the surrounding area and a place for us to store leftover food in the fridge. Their home is very clean and well kept, not only that but its a sight to see and truly an amazing place to stay. The bedroom is private and spacious with its own full bath as well as a washer and dryer that they allowed access to which was quite convenient! Although we didn't use the side porch connected to the bedroom, it was nice to have just in case. Overall I would recommend Ray and Cathy's home to anyone looking for a high quality place with friendly owners. I look forward to staying with them next time I ever find myself near Santa Cruz!
