- To ensure everyone’s safety during wildfire season (typically July to October, weather-dependent), use of the outdoor fireplace is limited at certain times. Please check the posted signs near the fireplace for current restrictions. During restricted periods, open flames outdoors, including candles, may result in a $500 fine.

Great mountain cabin close to Santa Cruz
The place had everything needed to enjoy a stay with family in the Santa Cruz mountains. When contacted the hosts provided extra towels quickly. The place had great grounds and a beautiful living area to enjoy with family. And we never requested it so not a chance for the host to fix but a few more forks would be good as there weren't enough for the group of ten staying there.

Great house in a lovely town
Place was beautiful and clean. Very roomy for the 7 of us and very clean. That said, 2 things could be done to make this an absolutely perfect place to stay: * Many of the window screens upstairs had fallen off. We tried to put them back on ourselves, but not all of them would stay put. * Would have been great to have more seating on the porch. It was such a perfect place to sit - we "fought" over seating rights. ;-) Thanks for the use of your wonderful home!

Beautiful garden
Grounds were very beautiful and the home was cozy with nice plants and artwork. Few things however, the upstairs bathroom sink didn’t drain and one of the dining chair legs was loose so we moved it to the corner. I stayed in the home outside, it looked like was being remodeled patched up walls and door drape rod was broken.
