My family, wife and 2 kids, stayed in this area to be central to various parts of the Bay area; San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Monterey specifically. The 4 of us stayed in Pat's "Penthouse". It's a very charming and quaint 2 room loft with a bathroom and kitchenette. The space was fine for us. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck looking out toward the Santa Cruz coast. The kids enjoyed the pool. I'm sure we'll all remember our stay forever.
I would say that Pat's place is perfect if you just want to get away for a few days. We were out and about every day and driving up and down the mountain, while beautiful, was a bit daunting after a couple of days.
There are a couple of things that I'd suggest. Access around the property and up to the loft is not for everyone. Some of the steps are steep or small. Also, there are no stores on the mountain so you have to either plan your meals and bring food accordingly (there is no stove) or plan on driving up and down the mountain.
With that said, Pat is a very nice and gracious host. If we ever want a mountain getaway, well definitely come back to Pat's wonderful property.
