The Night of Our Wedding
We came here on the night of our wedding, from the beginning Oleg's communication was excellent! We arrived quite late and he helped us right away to check in and get comfortable. We had a great night sleep and an excellent experience in the spa in the morning which made us feel great after a long day. We can't wait to come back to this hidden gem!

It was the second time stying in beautiful area in the middle of the wood, yet relatively close to Santa Cruz and San Jose area. Oleg and Ellada treated us like part of their family. They are excellent hosts. we felt like home and we will arrange another trip there soon. 5 starts.

Great Getaway
This property is beautiful! We loved our little getaway. There are other units on the property, but it is so quiet and peaceful. Be sure to make use of the beautiful, serene private spa, with sauna, hot tub and cold pool. Heavenly! The owner, Oleg, is so very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back!

Lovely remote location
The cottage is immaculate and appointed with all we needed. The decks by the pond are a beautiful, serene spot to have tea or read or just chill. Very peaceful, surrounded by forest. There really isn’t hiking or anything to do near the property, but a very short drive takes you to hundreds of great destinations in the Santa Cruz area. The cottage was not, as we imagined, a separate structure. It is part of a bigger compound with a few other guest apartments near the owners’ home. So it wasn’t as intimate or secluded as we imagined. But we never felt in need of more privacy. People were quiet and respectful and we barely saw them. Elena and Oleg were friendly and very responsive but respected our privacy. Thank you.

Hidden gem for a wonderful retreat
Oleg's place is a retreat where you are meticulously taken care of. He has multiple units on the large 20 acre+ property nestled in redwoods with beautiful garden and pond. Our studio unit was well organized and charming with all the facilities as advertised. We found it better than the pictures and outside sitting areas and BBQ deck were awesome. It was glamping with all the facilities of a resort. It was bit of a winding drive from Hwy 17 to get there but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace and quiet.

Magical setting in the Santa Cruz mountains
Oleg and Elena and wonderful hosts. If you are looking for a beautiful forest setting you can do no better. My wife and I spent a peaceful day on the property, a day in Santa Cruz at the beach, and a day in San Francisco. Enjoyed a daily morning, or evening, reflection/meditation by the lake. We look forward to staying again. Be prepared for 2-3 miles of narrow mountain road. The drive is worth it.
