Wonderful stay!
Jaymi is terrific and the cabin was great for us! Ambience is nice (if you like being in the woods), cabin is clean and modern. Jaymi's big house is close/within sight of cabin (didn't bother us at all, just so you're aware) and cabin has a mini-kitchen with a microwave, toaster oven, and minifridge (not a fully stocked kitchen, worked great for us but just so you're aware). Good luck:)

We came into the tranquil mountain cabin later in the evening for a single overnight stay. We found the property easily using Apple Maps and had enough service in the drive in up Empire Grade. The instructions from the VRBO owner were clear but not entirely necessary for us as our mapping app directing us in very accurately. The property was very cozy. The bed clean and large and provided a great nights sleep after a nice hot shower in the modern cabin bathroom. The front patio was nice in the following morning around 8AM with natural sunrise light making it to the doorstep from the east. I’d say after all the fees and insurance it was a little pricey but hey beats sleeping in a motel on ocean street in my opinion. Very nice and relaxing.

Really Enjoyed Our Stay.
Cottage was very quiet and comfortable. It was close to Santa Cruz and the redwoods so it was easy to get to where we wanted to be. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Loved the lighting, heat, setup of this tiny-house. Bed was super comfy and great TV apps. Nothing I would change...pretty darn close to perfect
