About this property

Peaceful Modern Retreat at East Creek

This beautifully-updated, Ranch-style home is the luxury version of your family's cabin in the woods. Tucked away in this peaceful location, you'll be treated to fine wood touches throughout the house, private outdoor space, and above-and-beyond hospitality. The spacious open living area boasts a vaulted ceiling, lavish full kitchen, and a custom, wood-burning fireplace that can be enjoyed inside or from the kitchen patio. Your gracious hosts provide an abundance of extras such as wood for the fireplace and fire pit, pantry staples as well as cooking oil and spices, and a seasonal Cornhole set. With an on-site washer and dryer, you'll barely need to pack anything!

In the outdoor space, you'll find a state of the art outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill, ample counter space, and sink so you can host a first-class cookout with a forest and garden view. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit of your choice (wood-burning or propane) and recap the day - a story you'll be telling for years.

This location is a 10-minute drive to downtown Felton and 20-minutes to Santa Cruz. Felton is a cozy small town located in the redwoods with various outdoor activities including Mount Hermon, Roaring Camp Railroad, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Fall Creek Wilderness Trails, and UCSC Mountain Biking Trails which is next to Wilder Ranch. Humble Sea Brewing, Sushi San, and Redwood Pizza are some of the highlighted restaurants in Felton as well as Casa Nostra in Ben Lomond. Fantastic local grocery store Wild Roots.

Spectacular in every way!
In a word, it was perfect! The home is lovely and has everything you could need, the co-host on property is responsive and kind, and the location is superb. If you are driving down from northern CA, the one pro tip is to remember to follow the directions given from the host before your stay. If you forget like us, you will drive through some very lovely, but VERY tricky to navigate, terrain. All their local suggestions are great, and we enjoyed our holidays in this wonderful home so very much!

About the host

Hosted by Mario Salice

Host profile image
Hi there! My name is Mario. My wife and I (and our Labrador Penny) have decided to change our lifestyle and move to Baja California Sur for a large portion of the year to pursue a new career. In doing so, we have decided to turn our wonderful home in Felton into a vacation rental while we are away. Although we are not close by, rest assured, we have wonderful friendly local hosts to attend to your requests and desires! We love the outdoors and this property has immersed us in that lifestyle. Though we miss it tremendously, we hope you see the magic and enjoy all the amenities this home offers.

Why they chose this property

With this property, you will get the peaceful seclusion we all desire, yet will still be close to downtown Felton and Santa Cruz. This area has so many unique experiences to offer, so you will not be disappointed. The home itself has been fully remodeled to provide a modern mountain escape experience. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly which is located over a historical bridge spanning Zayante Creek. Sleep at night in complete serenity and get the well deserved "recharge" that we all desire.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the inside/outside fireplace which includes one compartment full of firewood to be used in the fireplace, or the seasonal outdoor fire-pit in the back yard. Proceed at your own risk, there are hiking trails behind the house which follow the old railroad grade from the early 1900's. Utilize the outdoor kitchen during the warmer months to host friends and family for an outdoor experience you won't forget. The kitchen patio includes a full kitchen, propane fire-pit, and outdoor WiFi-controlled speakers (during dry season). Also provided is a seasonal Corn Hole set to help maintain your backyard game skills.
