Lush Haven

This is an ideal getaway spot for those of us who love beautiful vegetation and peaceful surroundings. The accommodations were perfect for us -- cozy place to rest, do yoga, soak in some beauty and from which to adventure throughout the area. We will definitely return!

Enchanting stay

We loved our stay. Beautiful property- had fun roaming around and enjoying the chickens and lemons and oranges and hearing the birds. Proximity to Monterey and Carmel was good and there were so many hidden gems along the way. Would definitely come back again.

Beautiful quiet property

Just stayed for a couple of days for some much needed R&R and solitude. Very secluded and peaceful and the booklet with nearby activities was very helpful. Highly recommended..

Beautiful and Serene

I took my turning-13-year-old daughter on a birthday trip and this is where we chose to stay and we are so glad we did. We LOVED this property and studio apartment. The drive through the neighborhood was beautiful and relaxing, the property was spectacular, the studio apartment was beautiful and comfortable (makes me want to go home and throw away excess……. everything) and Jenn and her 7-year old son were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and we would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Jenn!

mental oasis

This is a lovely and quiet spot, tucked in the hills, away from the busyness of California. The property is soothing and is surely resplendent, when the flowers and plants wake from winter dormancy. Santa Cruz, Aptos, Carmel, Monterey are all within easy striking distance, but there are also old, groovy side roads to explore, nearby, that wind up hillsides and through tight valleys. We enjoyed a local vibe band night at the Corralitos Winery, which was ultra laid back and casual. The side suite, while comfortable, could have been a bit better prepared with towels, toilet paper, a dish rack, a respectable coffee maker, and some other details, such as having tie-offs for the long blind cords, and providing a broom for sweeping up. Overall, the stay was great, and the hosts were kind... just a few details need attention for ease of liveability.

Beautiful property, but not quiet and secluded

The property and area is gorgeous, we were going for the secluded, quiet and serene aspects, but we didn't get to enjoy much of the nature or even have the windows open because the owner was on the property with their young children. This was our getaway from our own screaming children so we didn't feel like we could relax as much as we had hoped to. Room was clean, minus a piece of glass I found with my foot on day one (ouch) and when I was looking around to make sure there wasn't more glass I found a trail of ants, which I know happens in the country. I wanted to have late or early walks around the property, but whenever we wanted to, there was kids screaming/yelling in the background, which wasn't the vibe for us at all as that stresses us out to hear because we cannot fully relax as parents ourselves. Property owners are nice, but would have appreciated the listing to have more clarity/forewarning that the owners and their young children would be on the property. I wouldn't have gone here for a honeymoon if I had known that previously, that's for sure. It was a fairly big letdown for us. The view was amazing, and being away from the city was nice with good food nearby. But not being able to fully enjoy it and relax the way we wanted to was way too palpable.

Wonderland to relax and recharge

We truly like our stay. And I'd highly recommend to those who want to stay close to the nature, to relax or to recharge oneself. Their property is in a quiet and peaceful location. With plants of all kinds around, it is the spot to slow down and rewind. We wish we could have longer period to stay and explore the area. The host is very friendly and nice, as well as respect privacy.

Lovely farmhouse apartment in a quaint rural community

Thank you for opening this lovely farmhouse apartment! The private rural property was set up well for us, with attention to details. There was a lot to see and do in the area, the host provided a guide with great suggestions. The local roads were quiet but accessible and close to Route One.
