Other Notes

•Late check out and early check in requests are subject to availability and have an additional value please inquire about this.

•Part of what makes this home special is its setting in the Santa Cruz Mountains, alongside a year-round creek and surrounded by forest. Wildlife is part of that landscape — you may spot deer, foxes, or other woodland creatures, though sightings are rare and they generally avoid people. A few simple habits will keep your stay easy and worry-free: Admire wildlife from a distance rather than approaching it, we recommend keeping a close eye on children near the creek and wooded areas at all times, as conditions like water flow and terrain can change and store food and trash securely.

The downstairs unit has its own separate space, and its occupant does not have access to your private rental area or the amenities included with your reservation.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall the house was very charming and an easy location to check out things in the area. We enjoyed both Spanky’s and Treehouse Cafe down the road for breakfast spots. Cons:The kitchen was not “fully equipped”. At other VRBOs I’ve stayed at, I was able to bring food and have enough supplies to cook. This kitchen has minimal equipment - a couple of nonstick pans and a pot and mostly metal utensils to use. I wished they had a strainer or some better spatula options that won’t scratch their pans. They also did not have any spices in the cabinets. The kitchen had two coffee pots, however when I opened the classic drip maker I found a very moldy filter that had been left, so was unable to use that. There were only two decorative towels on the stove, leaving us to use paper towels to dry anything we washed or cleaned. Overall the kitchen felt very dirty and not taken care of. The towels provided for bathing still had paper tags on them indicating they had not been washed prior to leaving out, and did not have any wash cloths. The floors and rugs were absolutely filthy. They left both of my kids feet black after running around. I’d recommend wearing socks or house shoes indoorsAll of the outdoor furniture was dirty. If knowing guests are coming, a quick shake or leaf blower to get debris off would have been appreciated. And more towels so I could wipe down the tables for use.
