Beautiful cottage amidst the trees above Santa Cruz

Our night and morning in the woods of Felton (in the Santa Cruz mountains) were entirely comfortable and beautiful. A cozy and clean cottage, adjoining a larger home, with trees all around and a small view of the Monterey Bay - very beautiful and the perfect escape ! The drive in (through the Cowell redwoods) was really gorgeous, and the town of Felton itself was charming, with a number of restaurant choices. And breakfast on the coast in Davenport was ideal - sunny, while Santa Cruz was still fog-bound. The cottage has a well-stocked kitchen, and we almost chose to cook dinner at home; but we enjoyed lounging in the cottage's cool, fragrant evening air after our restaurant dinner instead. Marvelous bed, comfortable Adirondack chairs, GREAT towels - a wonderful spot to relax !

Peaceful Getaway

I had to book a last-minute overnight in Santa Cruz before a trip to Monterrey for the week. Rebecca was fast to respond to all of my questions and accommodated my last minute booking. Directions were easy and straightforward and, upon arriving, the cottage was exactly as described in photos. The bed and pillows are a dream and I loved waking up to the birds in the morning. The lemons were fresh and came right from her tree in the front yard. I would definitely love to stay with Rebecca again!
