From the property, turn right and head down the hill towards Capitola beach. Capitola Village is home to diverse restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique shopping. This cabin is the perfect location to explore Santa Cruz beaches, mountains and culture or just to get away from it all and relax. We hope you enjoy your private cabin with a full bathroom and shower, your patio right outside your front door and your shared deck with patio set. Walk on our paved walkway 1 minute down the hill to a sweet private creek beach on the bubbly Soquel Creek. The Santa Cruz Mountains surround our quaint small cabin on our acre wooded property. This cabin is the perfect location to explore Santa Cruz beaches, mountains and culture or just to get away from it all and relax. This quintessential California beach town is a mecca for surfers and sun-worshippers, but also has something for everyone. Families love visiting the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, while nature lovers appreciate the area's many unspoiled beaches. Santa Cruz is a popular place for summertime recreation, from volleyball to boating and hiking. The breathtaking scenery and refreshing sea breezes make this stretch of California's Central Coast especially appealing. HIKING There’s a lot to love about Santa Cruz but perhaps one of the biggest draws to this coastal town is just how much nature there is to explore within the county. The great thing about the hiking trails in Santa Cruz is how different they are from each other. You could be hiking along a windswept coastal trail one minute and then be in the midst of a redwood forest in just a 20-minute drive. Since Santa Cruz County takes up a relatively small area, it's amazing how diverse it is and how many different types of hikes you can find within its county lines. You can expect to find old-growth redwoods, enchanted forests, waterfalls, and some breathtaking scenic views on the California Coast. Coast redwood trees are the tallest trees on the planet. They can grow to 300 feet high or more, as compared to the tallest pine tree at 268 feet or the tallest tanoak at 162 feet. MOUNTAIN BIKING While surfing may have first put Santa Cruz on the map, there’s a landlocked sport that’s been gaining traction and attracting international attention over the last couple decades. The epicenter of mountain biking sits right here in “Surf City” with year-round riding conditions and world-class trails just minutes from the property. Our area has phenomenal Mountain biking. Head up Old San Jose and turn right on Summit. About a mile down on the right you with find the Demo. The Soquel Demonstration Forest, also known as "Demo," is home to a series of mountain biking trails. Many of the singletrack trails course down ridges, largely on old logging road cuts created when the forest was first logged beginning in the 1930s. These routes were adopted as part of the recreational trail network when Cal Fire acquired the property in the early 1990s. Additional singletrack trails were established through Cal Fire's collaborations with local mountain biking clubs in 2000 (Braille Trail) and 2015 (Flow Trail). The trails have grown into some of the most popular in the California Bay Area and attract bikers from around the world. Haven't had enough at the Demo then head down the hill from our place and hop on the 1 Highway south a few exits to Nisene Marks. The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park is a state park of California protecting a secondary forest in the watershed of Aptos Creek and Soquel Creek within the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is located outside Aptos, California and contains over 40 miles of hiking trails and fire roads through 10,223 acres of variable terrain. The park is a popular spot for running, hiking, and horseback riding. Additionally, it is a common location for mountain biking, which can be done on several trails including the Aptos Rancho Trail, Split Stuff Trail, Terrace Trail, and Vienna Woods Trail SURFING Santa Cruz is one of the top surfing destinations in California. Situated 85 minutes drive out of San Francisco, the city of Santa Cruz boasts some beautiful coastline that is well worthy of a visit, especially if you are a surfer. The area is known for its moderate climate and beach going, alternative lifestyles. Nicknamed Surf City, Santa Cruz has 11 world-class surf breaks that are really worth checking out including point breaks over Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point, which it could be argued are some of the best surfing waves in the world. With waves that are suited to all levels of surfer, Santa Cruz has something for everyone, from those that have never stepped foot on a surfboard to those who have devoted their entire lives to riding waves. Of course, with some of the biggest waves, visitors who are not familiar with some of the more fierce swells should take some time to familiarize themselves with the more dangerous spots before they start surfing Santa Cruz.. Other Santa Cruz Surf Spots If you take a short drive up on Highway 1, you’ll come across lots of hidden surfing gems that are often breaking such as Año Nuevo or Waddle Creek State Beach. These more secluded spots are a bit off the beaten path and as such you’ll find them to be less crowded than the major beaches closer to the city. If you want a more chilled out feel to your days surfing Santa Cruz, this route may be the way to go. Surfboard Hire in Santa Cruz Westside Surf & Skate is a great place in Santa Cruz to fulfil all your surf-related needs. Cowells Surf Shop Santa Cruz also offers a good selection of board rentals. A full day hire will set you back about $30. They have a wide selection of beginner boards from 5 ft.-11 ft. foam logs to NSP epoxy’s to fiberglass boards. There are also some higher performance boards available to rent for an extra cost per day. The Forest Cabins have a foam log (surfboard) and 4 boogie boards that our guests are invited to borrow. Also available to borrow are beach chairs, beach towels, sunscreen and beach umbrellas. SEALIFE As part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, sea life is abundant in and around Santa Cruz County. Throughout the year it is possible to see sightings of common porpoises, humpback whales, sea lions, seals, and the ever-present sea otters. Seen from the deck of a sailboat, in the seat of a kayak, on a sixty-foot catamaran, or by land, there are a multitude of ways to watch marine life play in this watery world. Welcome aboard. Sealife Viewing December-April: Gray Whales. Peak viewing is from mid-January through mid-March. Summer and Fall: Blue Whales, Humpbacks (although in the past few years, Humpbacks are proving to be year-round in the Monterey Bay) Year-Round: Orcas.

Enjoyed my time in this adorable cabin. ##### Amber D.

The skylights allowed us to look straight up into the trees and catch the Full Moon cross the sky. In the morning we walked down to the creek and spent a couple hours admiring the trees, birds and the feeling of being in the forest. The beach was 5 minutes away, downtown Soquel and Capitola were 5 minutes away. Hiking trails were a short drive away. The cabin is cozy and the host was very nice, we plan on staying here again. ##### scott c.

A very amazing, peaceful & beautiful spot right on a creek with owls singing and perfect hosts. We are already looking forward to returning for a much longer time.....Very close to many hikes and great places to get food to bring home to your cabin. Many thanks to MK and Lara. ##### mia c.

The cabin rental was our home base so we could do all our sightseeing and activities. It worked out great and the host was very kind and accommodating. He even had flowers and wine waiting for us. ##### Melisa M.

Absolutely perfect location with the creek lulling us to sleep in the evening. And if you’re lucky enough to have clear skies, the stars are absolutely dancing above you. The short walk down to the creek access and sandy shore can be best described as magical, while you get to gaze at the beauty of the Redwood trees on the property. For food: only a short 10 minute drive to many wonderful restaurants. Our favorite was the spicy boy Breakfast sandwich at “Good Advice” Emkay, the host, is super friendly, and accommodating. If you book this place when I want to travel back, I might be sad. It was PERFECT! ##### cody g.

Emkay was a lovely host - responsive to any questions but otherwise unobtrusive. The cabin was cozy as advertised but lots of features in it to maximize the space. Everything was updated, modern, and nice quality (bed, towels, etc.). The cabin was situated with a small compound of other spaced-out cabins giving it a comfortable feel. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the river. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Matthew Z.

Our cabin had a creek running behind it and we were lulled to sleep with its pleasant gurgling. There are beautiful redwoods a few yards away by the creek, and we sat down in this area one evening to see the bats that appeared at dusk. We enjoyed breakfast outside in a patio area just adjacent to our door. We walked in the Henry Cowell state park to see all the redwoods on our first day, and enjoyed the beach at Rio Del Mar on a 2nd day. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and you won’t go wrong booking this lodging. ##### Gregory F.

This little knot of cabins is the friendliest yet most peaceful place ever! Emkay treated us like family from the beginning. It is both off the beaten path yet convenient to hiking and the beaches. There were people there with pets, kids, teens, but it was never overly rowdy. So many sweet little touches, flowers, maps and guides in the cabins, outdoor shared spaces, this is a host who genuinely cares that you have a wonderful stay. ##### Lisa S.

Being surrounded by redwoods and nature was our prime reason for booking this place. Taking a stroll around the property and breathing in the crisp air and surroundings was amazing. Emkay is a wonderful host and made our stay comfortable. We truly enjoyed being so close to hiking trails and the coast. This location was perfect as we hiked and explored the Forest of Nisene Marks and Henry Cowell Redwoods to the coastline. I truly recommend this place and we will be back again to continue exploring this beautiful area and making new memories. Thank you Emkay for sharing your peaceful, serene and comfortable property. ##### Isabel C.

The property was full of charm and character, making it feel like a true escape while still being conveniently close to everything. Just a short drive to the beach, hikes, and a cute town, the location couldn’t have been better. Emkay was incredibly welcoming and kind, which made us feel right at home. We did not end up bringing our cat, but it was lovely to visit with all the sweet animals on the property. The hot tub is wonderful, and we are dying to see the creekside beach in the summertime. The cabin itself was thoughtfully designed, with unique touches that made it feel warm and inviting. It was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. It would have been nice to have access to a water spigot (like at a campsite) to wash dishes, but Emkay thoughtfully provided us with large water jugs for drinking. Whether we were eating dinner on the deck, exploring nearby trails, or unwinding after a day at the beach, we felt completely at home. I have never slept so well away from my own bed before! Typically, we camp so this was a luxurious treat. The hosts have clearly put a lot of care into this space, and it shows. Given the high-quality experience we had, I am shocked at the modest price.If you're looking for a unique and peaceful retreat with plenty of adventure just minutes away, this is the perfect spot. I cannot recommend it enough. We can’t wait to come back! ##### Haley M.
