Cabin-feeling coziness in the mountains. Compact studio had all the essentials -- comfy chair and super comfy bed, stuff to make coffee, and the warmest gas stove/heater for this frigid night. Off the balcony, you can hear the sound of the creek, but not see much else besides an appealing fire pit, redwoods, and ferns. It's convenient for Santa Cruz Mountains exploration in Henry Cowell or Big Basin. Freddie couldn't have been sweeter -- he baked buckwheat muffins for breakfast and gave a wonderful recommendation for a sunny, hidden park at the bottom of the mountain. Even has Wifi! I would definitely want to stay here when I stay-cation again in Santa Cruz.
