The Roost is an incredible place to stay and a wonderful home away from home! The attention to detail that has been put into the house and grounds makes it feel so comfortable and relaxing that it's hard to leave and check out all the awesome things that one can do in the area like getting cider at the Martinelli's store, pie at Gizdich Ranch, hiking (too many options to list!), hanging out in Santa Cruz, kayaking at Moss Landing, etc. All of which were in Dave and Carol's guidebook so be sure to check it out as they put a lot of time and thought into it! Dave was also very communicative and thoughtful, even giving a heads up about when traffic gets bad and offering an alternative route to get to The Roost. Dave and Carol are incredibly knowledgeable about the area and are more than happy to answer any questions or give suggestions on what to do or where to go. And of course you can't beat a dip in the hot tub at night with the stars above you :) we had an amazing time and would definitely stay at The Roost again!
