This house was great, very cute and clean. Was a perfect fit for my husband and our two yr old. We didn't realize how close the property was to the road and it was a little hard to get in and out of driveway but other than that we couldn't have asked for more!

Though it looks tiny and humble from the outside, this property was REALLY nice and modern inside with everything you could want. Very comfortable, and the backyard fire pit, picnic table and patio under the trees were a real pleasure. The busy street and steep driveway into the property generated a few nervous moments, but nothing that a bit of patience couldn't solve.

Cottage was super cute and in a great location for hiking and enjoying the red woods. However Hwy 9 can get a little noisy. It did not bother me, but my husband used ear plugs. We loved when we came back one night and saw a little fox and skunk checking the Tepee out!

My family and I loved the cottage it was very clean and private, decorated very nice, great location not far from Santa Cruz, the property was surrounded with greenery had lots of natural pine fresh air. Overall i would stay here again and again. Owner was very attentive with us..

We loved staying here. It was central to everything in Santa Cruz while being tucked in the hills for a relaxing vibe. The little town is quant with just what you need. The house had all the necessities, was clean, cozy, and the yard is incredible. I am a light sleeper yet I was not bothered at all by the hwy 9 traffic at all (as some people have mentioned). I can’t wait to stay at Gio’s next time we’re in town!

Owner very easy to communicate with. Quick to answer. Place is even cuter than in pictures. Only drawback for some might be the traffic noise otherwise very nice place to stay.

The place was adorable and extremely clean. The host was helpful and friendly. We enjoyed every minute.

This cottage is perfect! It's location to destinations all around the area could not be better. It is welcoming and has so many lovely amenities. The owner, Gio, is amazing. I will definitely come back!

We really enjoyed staying here for our vacation and hope to come back one day.

Cottage was everything stated and more. Exceeded our expectations. Cottage has everything one needs and in beautiful surroundings of forest. Love the barbecue and used it 3 evenings. Gio the owner thru texts was very, very accommodating. He made sure are needs were met and understood. We will book again! Kathy and Bill

Loved that is was close to Big Basin State Park for hiking and Santa Cruz for the beach. The cottage was very clean. It was nice to sit outside with a glass of wine after hiking all day. The only thing I would change is where the TV is located in the bedroom to the living area. Everything was very well put together. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again when we come back to that area.

Great location as it’s close to the boardwalk and Roaring camp. Gia has it nicely furnished with everything you need, including a nice outdoor area with a fire pit. Only reason not 5 stars is that highway 9 is pretty busy and noisy throughout the day and early evening, best to bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper like me! Would definitely return.

This property has been newly restored and decorated with antique accents (clawfoot tub/shower, antique working stove and oven). It's such a cute and cozy place to stay, with everything we needed. The two large beds were comfortable and enough space for us and our two teenage boys. The wifi worked great (our phones weren't so great on Verizon in Felton area, off and on), and it was close to the beach, groceries and Mt. Hermon camp (5 min drive). We enjoyed the large BBQ and outdoor picnic table, calm breezes and well organized kitchen that had all we needed to eat at home. Gio checked in on us via email and offered immediate hospitality, answering questions or coming by the property to see we had everything we needed. Top notch service!

Great experience in beautiful setting. Clean and wonderful little house in the trees.

We had a just a great time! We travel a lot for sports tournaments and this was our first VRBO. Definitely a better experience than the same old boring hotel rooms....

My wife and I brought our 2 year old down to stay in Gio's cottage as we were fleeing the Ferguson fire in Mariposa. Gio was extremely sweet and easy as a hostess, very considerate of our needs. Coming from the isolated location in which we live, we found the location of the cabin to be quite lovely, up in the hills of Felton and nestled among the trees. The cottage is very well maintained and stocked with pleasing soaps, lotion, linens, beach towels and umbrella to enjoy the coast, and very comfortable beds. The ambiance is enhanced by the water feature placed right outside the bedroom window. This is a very good value!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return.

This property was perfect for our family of four; we had plenty of room. The property was very clean and the dishes/pans new and well taken care of. Well decorated - very cozy. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area behind the house. We loved that we were a short drive away from Santa Cruz but were able to spend our evenings away from the hustle and bustle. Gio was very responsive to all my questions, and she even greeted us one day to make sure our stay was going well. One of my favorite properties!

Very clean. When problem arose, owner remedied it quickly.

We had a blast with our 2 daughters (14 and 20); the cottage was plenty big enough for us and we loved the vintage stove and farm house decor. Beds were super comfy and very warm; the bathroom is large - tub/shower would be difficult for older people to navigate, but we had no issues and it will accommodate most people willing to stay in the mountains vs a boring hotel! Property is beautiful and we definitely used the fire pit! Easy drive to the beach and everything fun in Santa Cruz. Process was easy and everything we needed was in the cottage with easy to follow directions. We cannot wait to come back~
