Mountain Home with Peaceful Vibes

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent excellent excellent property highly recommend it."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

"Everything was perfect as always!"

The Historic Brookdale Lodge, Santa Cruz Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"Great looking Property and surrounded by beautiful nature"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Such a wonderful surprise! Wish we could have stayed longer."

Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Huge room in a quiet corner of the hotel. Great place to stay for a night for business travel in the area."

Fern River Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at this location. My family and I ( 2 adults, 2 kids under 5 ) all loved the cabin we stayed in. It felt cozy in a way that hotels don't. We loved walking around all the natural area nearby and we got to see so many different species of birds and other critters. They had an activities area where you could play tetherball and badminton and even throw a horseshoe. Our favorite was the communal campfire there we met many people and had great long talks into the night. Can't wait to come back here. Also a great way to save money since you can cook on location and they even have a grill in the back. It has everything a fridge,oven,toaster coffee maker utensils. THIS PLACE IS GREAT!!"

'Treehouse' in the Redwoods - sleeps 4!

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place! The host was so sweet and left us seeds from their garden to plant at home! The property was accurately described, and spotlessly clean. Also, the neighborhood and the yard on the property are gorgeous! The beds and couch were so comfy, and the kitchen was so well-appointed that we could have cooked a variety of things there. We were a group of 3, had no trouble fitting all of our things, and felt like we had plenty of space to relax. This is not a space that would work for some individuals with disabilities, since it's up a flight of stairs over a garage, and the bathroom is on the small side. If that doesn't throw you, you'll love staying here.The location was perfect for what we aimed to do - we were there for a wedding at the Sequoia Retreat Center 15 minutes away, and also to see redwood groves (Henry Cowell State Park is 10 minutes away), and the beach near Santa Cruz (just under a half hour away). This place is super close to Felton's downtown, which is full of adorable shops and lovely cafes, taverns and more food than you would guess for such a small town. Lovely stay! Would absolutely return."

Private Retreat in Santa Cruz Mountains w Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"Place was nice. The road into the property is a very windy, narrow mountain road. Very private and surrounded by beautiful forest. My favorite part was the back porch, with hot tub, fire pit, and views of the trees."

Private Redwood View Suite Near Santa Cruz Beaches

10/10 Excellent
