I was yearning for an end of the summer getaway, and Eden's home looked like the right place to indulge in a bit of much needed respite. Indeed, the stay was wonderful. Eden, her husband Craig, and their adorable dog Buddy were great hosts, offering a home away from home experience. I stayed in Room B, which featured a comfortable bed and an incredible -- seriously, it's just stunning -- view of the forest from the balcony. I was seeking solitude and peace, and I often just sat quietly on one of the deck chairs and indulged in the scenery. Despite being off the beaten path, Eden's home is centrally located and only a short drive from nearby state parks (I visited Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park), the small city of Scotts Valley, and Santa Cruz, which I visited as well. Eden had tea and coffee ready each morning along with delicious homemade baked goods to enjoy. She was lovely, easy to converse with, but also respectful of her guests' privacy. Highly recommended.
