Santa Cruz Guesthouse Surrounded by Redwoods

Summary:
Get back in touch with nature in a farmhouse-style property next to abundant woodlands and hiking trails (Permit 181242). It's an airy, skylit space with honey-colored hardwood floors and a well-equipped kitchen. Bathe in a claw-foot tub and relax on a wooden porch.

Please note that this house shares the property with the owners who live in the main house, and an Airstream. The property is also serviced by landscapers and pest services.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer an earlier check-in or bag drop. This helps us ensure our team has sufficient time preparing the unit for your arrival. Thank you for your understanding!

The Neighborhood:
The Santa Cruz Mountains offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. This lush and forested region is a nature lover's dream, featuring towering redwood groves, hiking and biking trails, and pristine state parks like Big Basin Redwoods State Park. With picturesque vistas, it's an idyllic setting for outdoor activities, including birdwatching and camping. The Santa Cruz Mountains also boast a thriving wine scene, with vineyards and wineries producing exceptional varietals. It's a place to unwind, disconnect, and find solace in nature's beauty, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure.

This is a very quiet, family neighborhood. It is not a good place for gatherings or parties so please keep that in mind when booking this home. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property.

Branciforte Drive connects to all the main road and if very close to both highway 17 (takes about 30 minutes to get to San Jose) and highway 1 (takes about 10 minutes to all the sister beach towns, like Capitola).

Other Things to Note:
- Our beautiful location means cell service can be a bit spotty, but you’ll still be able to make calls over Wi-Fi to stay connected during your stay.
- A friendly family lives in the main house across from the guest house, adding a welcoming neighborhood feel, and there’s another rental nearby that you might notice guests coming and going from.
- This is a shared property with a shared parking area. You’ll have one designated spot on the property.
- Nestled in the redwoods and set behind a gated fence, the home offers a serene forest escape. However, the road outside can see occasional fast-moving cars, so if you’re visiting with small children, please be mindful if the gate is open.
- We have landscapers, pest service, and other property maintenance done on a weekly basis. You may see or hear these service professionals during your stay as they let themselves into the backyard to service as needed. Please be sure to ask about this before booking if you think it might be an issue for you.

- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety.
