Recent Santa Cruz County guest reviews

A great little hideaway, very comfortable, quiet setting above a creek. Well equipped and furnished. The pictures don’t really do it justice. Highly recommend.
Scott P. | Feb 2025
Fantastic property spa, location, and house was so cute! The heated bathroom floor and toilet seat was also a nice surprise! 100% Would stay again.
Cameron D. | Feb 2025
Nice quiet location. A bit difficult to find on Apple Maps, but Google maps worked fine. Nice big living space and heater worked well. Lots of pots, pans and dishes for the 5 of us. We would come back again.
