It was difficult to say goodbye to Canyon Cottage. Having previously lived in Santa Cruz, I knew just how unique and special the house was not only for its architectural design and setting, nested among giant oak trees but also its location on a quiet cul-de-sac on a bluff with stairs down to the historic neighborhood and town.
The house was tastefully decorated and supplied with all the comforts of home. It was great to be able to walk into town for a coffee, to the open market, shops, music, and restaurants. But just as easy to hop in the car for a drive up or down the coast or winetasting in Corralitos.
There is so much to do and see in the area, you’ll never be bored. You can also just stay home, make a stew in the slow cooker, read a book, watch TV or gaze out the floor-to-ceiling windows and watch the squirrels. It’s just like home and maybe even a bit better. It’s truly the perfect place to stay in Santa Cruz and Steve and Lyn are super nice, interesting, and generous hosts.
