Peacock House is a magical place ~ a solid home nestled in nature ~ only a stone’s throw from all that Santa Cruz has to offer. It originated as a log home, and I could sense its durability, especially as I was staying there during the first weeks of the pandemic. The covered porch and small yard offer a place to commune with nature in privacy. Beautiful birds come to visit. I saw deer walking down the street. Cattle graze in the fields across the way. The house itself has all the modern conveniences, which work swimmingly well, including cable television. The bedrooms are cozy, and the bathroom harkens back to a time when things were built well and meant to last. Peacock House is not a fancy AirBnb, but it has everything you need for an absolutely delightful stay.
