Shelley has done an amazing job setting up a really comfortable space that is right in the middle of the Santa Cruz mountains! It is drive-able to many state parks, vineyards and just outside of Boulder Creek, which is an adorable little town. The home is well kept, comfortable and very clean. There are tons of books and a TV/DVD with internet access. The beds are comfortable and basic toiletries provided. There are plenty of towels and blankets, so no need to bring your own. You can tell that Shelley takes great care to make sure all your needs are met and even makes a delicious breakfast with home baked bread! The pool and deck overlooking the trees is truly a lovely spot to sit any time of the day. Heed Shelley's advice and arrive before dark if possible as the driveway is steep and best navigated the first time in daylight. Then sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet and nature, if you are lucky like we were, you may be visited by some furry friends (we saw two deer the first morning!) :)
