Recently enjoyed a tranquil 3 night stay in this beautiful, lovingly decorated sanctuary. The Thai & Balinese art work, carvings, and landscaping are just gorgeous. We especially liked the fireplace & tea supplies during chilly mornings & evenings. The antique "marriage bed" really molds to your frame & as someone else said, is like sleeping on a "cloud." (and yes, as another reviewer noted, it might take some practice getting in & out, but that's part of the adventure!). Small bathroom but that wasn't an issue for us. Just be aware that the downstairs bathroom can get cold in fall/winter months, but there's a heat lamp to warm things up. Great location within close proximity to a local park for dog-walking & to Santa Cruz, Capitola, & Aptos.
We didn't get to meet Art, but he & his partner, Rainya, kept in steady contact. During our visit, Rainya did everything she could to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. Extra points for the extra gracious hospitality, peaceful surroundings, and dog-friendly accommodation! Highly recommend.
