Beautiful property, easy to access, near town, but also feels remote/nestled into the mountains. Room was a dream, we stayed in the family one with built in bunk beds. Loved the layout of the property, loved the grouping of rooms/the feeling of bungalows. Lastly, really appreciated water refill stations next to the ice machine!

The room was wonderful! Spacious and clean. The restaurant had great food. Friendly staff. Very relaxing stay. I love how dog friendly it is too. It’s tucked away where you feel far away but it’s actually pretty close to down town Santa Cruz and the boardwalk. We will definitely stay again!
