We had a great romantic thanksgiving week. It's the perfect place if you never want to leave, but also great to visit nearby cities. We spent the day in Santa Cruz on the boardwalk (about 50min) and another in San Jose shopping (about 30min). And we spent the rest of the time laying around and enjoying the quiet and of course, the amazing view.
Pluses:
1. Vicki made it very easy and she really took the time to show us how everything worked in the RV.
2. The view and the deer. I've never seen so many deer in one place at one time.
3. Secluded. Unfortunately it was a little too cold/rainy to really enjoy most of the outdoor area, but had it been warmer, it would've been a great place to relax with a glass of wine.
4. Cost. You will not find this much space, essentially a full apartment, in this area for this price.
Minuses:
1. Vicki warned me ahead of time, but you really do need a 4wd vehicle if it rains. You'll probably be fine with a bigger car, luckily I got a Jeep at the car rental place, but don't rent an economy size car and expect it to make it up the hill if it gets muddy.
2. Grocery shopping is not that far away, but it is a bit of a hassle though some winding roads. Not a big deal, but just see what is there (Vicki keeps some cooking stuff stocked) and make a good grocery list so you only need to make one trip.
