Eden's place is really special and she is the perfect host for it. I arrived in stormy weather and she helped me navigate there safely with communication starting before I left for the airport. I felt completely pampered and very well nourished with her meals prepared from her garden and heart. My morning walks in the neighborhood redwoods gave me a great sense of grounding and peace. Before or after my walk Eden spoiled me with fresh coffee and warm amazing baked goods. The home has easy access to the 17 making it perfect for me. I was there for a training in Los Gatos, the Silicon Valley side. I wanted some peace in my off time. By staying with Eden I was able to balance work and play. A morning at the ocean before work time definitely happened. What a gift. I recommend Eden's retreat to everyone wanting a true Santa Cruz Mountain experience.
