Lovely stay!

We had a fantastic time staying at the cabin. The house was clean, comfortable, cozy and beautifully situated. And there were great toys and books available for the young children who were part of our group! Thanks for a great stay.

We needed a little getaway close to home and Brookdale was just the perfect place.

Fully equipped kitchen, cozy living room with a beautiful view of the forest and the highlight for us was the hot tub. Only minutes away from downtown and short drive to Santa Cruz beaches. The host was very communicative and helpful. Definitely recommend this place for any family looking for a getaway.

Beautiful

Location was great, though a little hard to find (its located behind another house, and theres no marking or indication of where to go, as you cant see the house from the base of the driveway). The hot tub was not operational, which was a little disappointing but not really a big deal. Very peaceful, and comfortable stay. Would stay here again for sure

Beautiful Mountain House

We could not say enough about how much we loved our stay! Suzanne’s mountain house had everything we could possibly have needed and more. From the cozy fire, to the hot tub surrounded by beautiful scenery, to the comfy beds & fully stocked kitchen, everything was perfect! We can’t wait to be able to plan a return visit!

Wonderful home in a gorgeous setting!

This cabin in the woods was the perfect spot for our weekend with friends! We enjoyed a morning hike in the nearby state park, an afternoon in Santa Cruz's beaches, and time spent in the smaller towns just down the road. Plus, it was an ideal setting for an evening dinner party filled with games with our friends. Thank you!

Great place for a family vacation.

Comfortable home in a beautiful forest. Lots of fun games for the kids! Loved sitting on the deck and watching birds and squirrels. Fun for grandchildren to climb up the staircase to a hammock and fairy garden. Obvious the owner loves children and made the house a fun place for families!

Cozy, beautiful place

The place is really cozy. We loved the hot tub and the fireplace! The view from inside the cabin is breathtaking with all the redwoods. Even though it's a private, enclosed place, the main street is not that far and all the groceries are easily accessible. We enjoyed Pandora and Netflix on their hi-tech TV. The landlord responded promptly which I also appreciated.

Restful getaway

We felt like visiting family. So many things were provided for our use that we were surprised-measuring cups, dvds, games, even lanterns for an unexpected power outage. We had a very quiet and refreshing time away. I don't know how to do bette.

Dreamy forest getaway

Suzanne is amazing. She's such a responsive , hospitable host. She gave us wonderful, clear details about her home, which also included great spots to check out nearby. The house was such an ideal relaxation spot for all of us. It was me and 4 other friends, and we had plenty of space to have down time to read - and then spend time together. Everything about this place is so serene. We mostly cooked at the house, because we loved the outdoor table and then hopping in the hot tub. Definitely want to come back and spend a good week here. Very close to Santa Cruz and Big Basin Redwoods too. Perfect!

A Wonderful Gem in the Woods!

The cabin is very cute and cozy! Tree views fill every window and you feel like you are in a treehouse. The kitchen is updated as well as the bathroom. The beds are very comfortable! And all amenities and more are at your disposal. The kitchen has everything you need including spices! Also Suzanne has beach toys for the kids and a beach umbrella should you choose to go to the beach. Suzanne was wonderful to work with and was very responsive on all matters! As others state you do have to be cautious leaving the driveway, as it is on a blind curve, but we had no issues.We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Cottage

We loved it! My family stayed at the cottage for my daughters graduation. We loved how nice and homie the cottage felt. Suzanne made sure everything was ready when we arrived. I loved that the kitchen had everything we might need as well as so many extra things. We had from ziplock bags, shampoo and first aid kit to baking ingredients my daughter made flan! Kids loved the fairy ring and loved painting the rocks. Suzanne had games and toys for the kids. We were even welcomed with brand new sand toys for them. Kids were never bored. We all loved the hot tub and everything else. We thank you for such a wonderful weekend. I would recommend this House to everyone. Jessica Hernandez
