About this house rental
Above the fog line yet an easy drive to beach, town, and all major highways this one-level house (Vacation Rental Permit # 11159 expires 12/31/2026 overlooks a gorgeous private meadow surrounded by forest with distant views of the coastal mountains. A monumental 350-year-old coastal oak tree (10,000 sq ft canopy) shades an enormous deck that transitions to multiple gardens on 2 1/2 acres.
The open floor plan surrounds the chef's kitchen. Spending time in the hot tub, the meadow room with char-pit or outdoor garden shower are guest favorites.
House:
-The master's suite contains a large four-poster bed, a free-standing gas fireplace, and a low-curb walk-in stone tile shower.
-The guest room has a comfortable pillow-top queen bed and a little extra storage.
-The third bedroom is quite small containing a bunk bed plus the pullout trundle (all three are single beds). Our smallest fans will find a toy box under the desk in the closet.
-You will find a hide-a-sofa in the living room. Your teen might enjoy the vinyl collection and turntable and incredibly fast internet connection.
Detached Office:
-The executive office contains a large work table, printer and comfortable sitting area can be available with advanced arrangement for a fee. Larger satellite conference rooms are just two miles down the hill.
Yard:
-The hidden kitchen garden is protected by tall deer fence, planted with fresh vegetables of the season, herbs, and fruit. Please help us by keeping the gate closed and the deer out.
-The meditation area, with Buddha house and fountain, is a great place to read or enjoy a private conversation.
-The meadow room, built from the tops of redwood trees and a floor of Santa Fe slate is surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping. There is a fully screened fire pit with this roasting rack to melt dessert or grill the late-night bite.
-Hot tub and Garden Shower are romantic and a fun way to end the day.
Area:
We are situated 10 Miles to downtown Santa Cruz and the Municipal Wharf and Beaches but only steps to the amazing world only found in the Santa Cruz Mountains:
-Zyante Sandhills Conservation Habitat
-Historic Quail Hollow Ranch Park
-Henry Cowell Redwood State Park
Within the San Lorenzo Valley you will discover:
-Local breweries,
-Roaring Camp Railroad (19th century steam train),
-Hidden swimming holes, private pool clubs,
-Art festivals
-Music venues like the Felton Music Hall
- Big Basin Redwood State Park re-emerging post CZU fires
-Boating in the Loch Lomond Reservoir
-Zip line in the Redwood canopy.
Upland vistas are a short walk from the house where as, world class destinations like San Fransisco, Carmel, Monterey, Cupertino and Oakland are all easy day trips. Tucked up against the Zyante Sand Hills Habitat and the Quail Hollow Ranch Equestrian Park wildlife on parade is the norm. Swimming holes are near, as is the fabulous salt-water pool and club house at the Trout Farm Inn. Some of the best music venues found in the central coast are hidden gems on the mountains.
Detached office and garage with electric car port might be available with advance arrangement.

The house is comfortable and interesting. The hosts have lots of suggestions for things to do in the area and farther afield. The garden is amazing with at least two incredible heritage oak trees and many beautiful spaces to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Everyone loved the swing. The friendly neighborhood dogs welcomed us but were not seen again until we were leaving.

Great location! Short drive to Brookdale and Waterfall venues, and several moderate hiking trails are within walking distance. Home is well off the main road, so its a very quiet neighborhood. Huge shaded deck with ample seating provided a great location for evening meals and relaxation. Wall unit AC keeps the kitchen and living room areas comfy when it gets hot out. Bedrooms can get toasty, but open windows and fans will cool them down during sleeping hours. Kitchen is well supplied with regard to tableware, pots/pans, utensils, and incidentals (spices, sweeteners, vinegar, oils, etc). Bunk beds and sofa sleeper are probably better suited to the younger set, but our party was eight adults, and it still worked for us. Robert was both proactive and responsive with all communications, from check-in thru check-out.

A great location for the Santa Cruz area. We enjoyed rivers, lakes, forest walks, train rides, and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk all within 20-30 minutes from our stay. The house was amazing and very roomy. Great out door patio and the hot tub was the perfect end of the day rejuvenation. Great place to visit.
