Great Hideaway in the Redwoods
Had a great time staying in this wonderful house. Very clean and secluded. Had an unforgettable stay in the Santa Cruz mountains to celebrate our friends getting married.
We had a wonderful stay! Absolutely beautiful surroundings. We had everything we needed and it was a quiet getaway after each day of activities in and around Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley. Thank you for making our stay so nice and comfortable. We hope to stay there again in the future.
