Oz was a great host. The cottage was a great place to stay and had everything you need to cook. The bathroom was stocked with all the toiletries. This was a pet friendly environment. I would definitely recommend this place for a secluded getaway.
Nice guest house. Upgraded stove and refrigerator. Super clean. Comfy bed. Nice fen ed in back patio surrounded by large redwoods. Helpful information provided about the house and directions to get there.
The host was always communicating with helpful information. The place has all the amenities you could need and the location itself is quiet and just marvelous.
Overall great spot and we enjoyed it. Very well appointed, especially the kitchen. Quiet and secluded, only 15 minute drive to Los Gatos. We would stay here again.
Such a nice environment to be in. The cottage is so nice and has all the needed amenities, enough privacy, and a awesome host! I would definitely stay again.
The host was very welcoming and we were pleasantly surprised to have a lovely welcome basket with a hand written card. The place was clean and quiet. Just what we were hoping for!
The property is quaint and lovely. The kitchen was very well stocked. Love the ceiling fans and the natural light from the French doors. I was a little concerned about finding it, but the directions were spot on. This is a beautiful spot to enjoy the redwoods with easy access to downtown Los Gatos or a drive to Santa Cruz. And it is very clean.
Great little house with everything we needed. Beautiful location with lots of redwoods. We had to reschedule our stay last minute and the host was very accomodating.
Quiet private and cozy little retreat in the Santa Cruz mountains, very nicely decorated with lots of amenities and fully fenced and private yard. nice escape from the heat and smoke of the valley. Close to Santa Cruz and the beaches and lots of state parks.
