- "Great house!!" - "This was as advertised, good multi-family home for all to enjoy. Very good location with Santa Cruz within 15 minutes, and beaches and restaurants galore. The bedrooms were good, the kitchen was usable with good appliances and plenty of space to work in. There were more "owner" closets and pantries than we thought there would be but it really didn't matter as they provided in room hanging racks. The backyard and patio were exactly what we needed for kids and dog and the living rooms and dining rooms were great gathering areas. Miinor flaw in the place was there were some ants in the bathrooms, and the hot tub was average (heated to good temperature but the bubbles and jets didn't work all that well due to age of the hot tub, I guess). Would highly recommend for small family reunion, which was what our stay was."

This is one of 2 master wings in a beautiful hand-built home on a 5-acre apple orchard. We are 4 miles from the ocean, but the last mile is our driveway, so there is a real sense of seclusion. We built the house with another couple, so the house has 2 private master wings. Our partners moved to be closer to their grandchildren, so their wing is now available.
The master bedroom is quite large. It has a king size bed and a couch that becomes a queen size bed. Separating the beds is a gas fireplace. The 2nd bedroom has a double bed and a large built-in desk. In the same space, but separated by a room divider, there is a partial kitchen, including an under-counter refrigerator, microwave, induction burner, toaster, and kitchenware.
The enormous bathroom is shared by the bedrooms. It has a double vanity, a private toilet room, a 6 foot by 6 foot walk-in shower and an over-size bath tub.
The bathroom and the 2nd bedroom open onto a private deck. There is a gravenstein apple tree over-hanging one end of the deck. If you come stay before mid-August, you can pick fresh apples from the deck!
- "The place, Is outstanding! Could have imagined more. Bedrooms,batheroom, & common room(unexpected), Are all fantastic. Even the drive to there, Is an adventure. Loved it! Many-Thank-Yous, Geoff(host)." - "Large appartment and well eqipped appartment in a extra-ordinary nice house which is located in the hills of Soquel. We enjoyed very much having breakfast on the spacious deck of the appartment which is surrounded by apple trees - so peaceful! You have to drive a narrow graveled road to get there - we easily managed to drive there with a very big SUV. Geoff and his wife are really nice and helpful. They also provided us some recommendations for restaurants. Our family of five really enjoyed our stay."

Beautiful, two story, custom Mediterranean home. Private downstairs suite (700 sq ft) is available for our guests (2 bedrooms/1.5 baths/living area/kitchen nook). Mountain/Canyon views. Wildlife and tranquility. Lots of nearby restaurants. 5 mins to Capitola / 50 mins to Monterey/Carmel. <<<
Whether you're an over-worked Silicon Valley couple looking for a romantic weekend getaway or an out-of-towner who wishes to explore the marvels of the breathtaking Monterey Bay area, this 5-acre, hillside property is simply charming. If you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, suburbs or even beach area congestion in your quest to restore your inner tranquility, re-connect with your significant other, “become one” with nature, see twice as many stars out at night, or you're simply looking to avoid highway 17 traffic home after a long day at the beach, we invite you to experience this very special retreat.
Once you are well-rested, there is a variety of interesting things to do in the area. Having your own car is essential to access the residence and to travel beautiful state highway 1 to nearby locations such as the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Capitola beach, Moss Landing, Marina, Monterey (Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium), Carmel (17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach) and Big Sur. We are also a 40 minute drive to downtown San Jose--the heart of Silicon Valley.
Nestled in a secluded canyon in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the home is only 2.5 miles to downtown Soquel / Capitola and borders Santa Cruz. Offering a quiet, peaceful setting with lots of wildlife (deer, racoon, rabbit, coyote, hawk, owl, etc.), tree diversity (oak, redwood, bay leaf, pine, eucalyptus, palm, etc.), open space and panoramic views, yet within a 5 minute drive to downtown shopping, dining and surfing, the location offers the best of both worlds. The immediate neighborhood has sparse housing (minimum parcel size is 5 acres) and offers an undisturbed and irresistible peace.
You will have access to the 750 square foot, secluded, 100% private downstairs floor with complete disconnection (blocked off) from the (owner occupied) upstairs. Entry is from an exterior doorway. The space includes two large bedrooms (purple and green rooms), a living area (175 sq feet) and 1.5 bathrooms. The purple bedroom has one queen bed. The green bedroom has one double bed and a large bunk bed (supporting 2 adults or children) and one queen bed. We've added a new kitchen nook containing a two-burner electric stove, microwave oven, sink and mini-refrigerator. Amenities include: freshly clean linens and towels, coffee maker, hot water kettle, free coffee/tea/hot chocolate, toaster, free Wifi, and AD-free Smart TV (YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime Video). WEATHER & CONDITIONS PERMITTING--enjoy an outside patio with chairs, ice cooler and outdoor gas BBQ. Try out our new propane fire pit and horseshoe court too! Patio overlooks some marvelous mountain and canyon views.
Note: There are lots of nearby dining establishments within 5 minutes drive (dine-in, take-out or home delivery). You can also use the gas BBQ/stove outside (weather & conditions permitting) or utilize the kitchen nook to cook light meals. Dining is certainly permitted inside the premises. The refrigerator will support many of your perishables. We provide various utensils and cooking pots as well.

Away from the the sounds of of the crowds, on the top of a mountain, it’s so quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to get to Capitola in about 10 minutes.

Our charming studio is nestled in a majestic redwood forest with a year-round creek flowing through the property. Leave the windows open at night and you will smell the sweet scent of the forest and hear the owls in the trees. Go outside and look up for most summer nights we have beautiful, starry skies. One of 3 one room cabins and 1 one bedroom cabin on the property, this cabin is small and yet has what you need after a day of exploring all Santa Cruz has to offer. To end the day, may I suggest a good novel by the creek or a nap in the sun.
This sacred land of coastal redwoods and an ancient creek is our family property and your nature vacation dream. When your neighbors are Christmas tree farms and retreat spaces you know you've landed someplace gorgeous.
Enjoy our complimentary cable TV with Netflix, Hulu and Prime in a comfortable queen bed. After so much beach and mountain fun, enjoy the hot shower, a good nights sleep and hot coffee in the morning. Our spaces are small but have everything you need.
From the property, turn left to world renowned mountain biking trails at the Soquel Demonstration Forest. Stop by Summit Market for a delicious lunch where you can watch hawks soar from their patio eating the best tri-tip sandwich in town.
From the property, turn right and head down the hill towards Capitola beach. Capitola Village is home to diverse restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique shopping. This cabin is the perfect location to explore Santa Cruz beaches, mountains and culture or just to get away from it all and relax.
We hope you enjoy your private cabin with a full bathroom and shower, your patio right outside your front door and your shared deck with patio set. Walk on our paved path 1 minute down the hill to a sweet private creek beach on the bubbly Soquel Creek.
The Santa Cruz Mountains surround our quaint small cabin on our large wooded property. This cabin is the perfect location to explore Santa Cruz beaches, mountains and culture or just to get away from it all and relax.
This quintessential California beach town is a mecca for surfers and sun-worshippers, but also has something for everyone. Families love visiting the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, while nature lovers appreciate the area's many unspoiled beaches.
Santa Cruz is a popular place for summertime recreation, from volleyball to boating and hiking. The breathtaking scenery and refreshing sea breezes make this stretch of California's Central Coast especially appealing.
HIKING
There’s a lot to love about Santa Cruz but perhaps one of the biggest draws to this coastal town is just how much nature there is to explore within the county.
The great thing about the hiking trails in Santa Cruz is how different they are from each other. You could be hiking along a windswept coastal trail one minute and then be in the midst of a redwood forest in just a 20-minute drive.
Since Santa Cruz County takes up a relatively small area, it's amazing how diverse it is and how many different types of hikes you can find within its county lines.
You can expect to find old-growth redwoods, enchanted forests, waterfalls, and some breathtaking scenic views on the California Coast.
Coast redwood trees are the tallest trees on the planet. They can grow to 300 feet high or more, as compared to the tallest pine tree at 268 feet or the tallest tanoak at 162 feet.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
While surfing may have first put Santa Cruz on the map, there’s a landlocked sport that’s been gaining traction and attracting international attention over the last couple decades. The epicenter of mountain biking sits right here in “Surf City” with year-round riding conditions and world-class trails just minutes from the property.
Our area has phenomenal Mountain biking. Head up Old San Jose and turn right on Summit. About a mile down on the right you with find the Demo.
The Soquel Demonstration Forest, also known as "Demo," is home to a series of mountain biking trails. Many of the singletrack trails course down ridges, largely on old logging road cuts created when the forest was first logged beginning in the 1930s. These routes were adopted as part of the recreational trail network when Cal Fire acquired the property in the early 1990s. Additional singletrack trails were established through Cal Fire's collaborations with local mountain biking clubs in 2000 (Braille Trail) and 2015 (Flow Trail). The trails have grown into some of the most popular in the California Bay Area and attract bikers from around the world.
Haven't had enough at the Demo then head down the hill from our place and hop on the 1 Highway south a few exits to Nisene Marks.
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park is a state park of California protecting a secondary forest in the watershed of Aptos Creek and Soquel Creek within the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is located outside Aptos, California and contains over 40 miles of hiking trails and fire roads through 10,223 acres of variable terrain.
The park is a popular spot for running, hiking, and horseback riding. Additionally, it is a common location for mountain biking, which can be done on several trails including the Aptos Rancho Trail, Split Stuff Trail, Terrace Trail, and Vienna Woods Trail
SURFING
Santa Cruz is one of the top surfing destinations in California. Situated 85 minutes drive out of San Fransisco, the city of Santa Cruz boasts some beautiful coastline that is well worthy of a visit, especially if you are a surfer.
The area is known for its moderate climate and beach going, alternative lifestyles. Nicknamed Surf City, Santa Cruz has 11 world-class surf breaks that are really worth checking out including point breaks over Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point, which it could be argued are some of the best surfing waves in the world.
With waves that are suited to all levels of surfer, Santa Cruz has something for everyone, from those that have never stepped foot on a surfboard to those who have devoted their entire lives to riding waves. Of course, with some of the biggest waves, visitors who are not familiar with some of the more fierce swells should take some time to familiarize themselves with the more dangerous spots before they start surfing Santa Cruz..
Other Santa Cruz Surf Spots
If you take a short drive up on Highway 1, you’ll come across lots of hidden surfing gems that are often breaking such as Ano Neubo or Waddle Creek State Beach. These more secluded spots are a bit off the beaten path and as such you’ll find them to be less crowded than the major beaches closer to the city. If you want a more chilled out feel to your days surfing Santa Cruz, this route may be the way to go.
Surfboard Hire in Santa Cruz
Westside Surf & Skate is a great place in Santa Cruz to fulfil all your surf-related needs.
Cowells Surf Shop Santa Cruz also offers a good selection of board rentals. A full day hire will set you back about $30.

- "Very cute little cabin out of Soquel a ways and next to the creek. It was so lovely to hear the water as we fell asleep!" - "If the sound of a bubbling creek and constant birdsong first thing in the morning doesn't bother you, this may be the place for you. Set right outside the lovely village of Soquel, close to Santa Cruz, this little gathering of tiny cottages offers the perfect location to venture out. The amenities are modest, but the setting in the primordial redwood forest make this an unforgettable retreat. I think the best way to experience this might be to gather a couple friends and book multiple tiny cabins around the lovely shared patios. The host is flexible and does everything in his power to accommodate his guests. Sweet, sweet retreat."

Our charming studio is nestled in a majestic redwood forest with a year-round creek flowing through the property. Leave the windows open at night and you will smell the sweet scent of the forest and hear the owls in the trees. Go outside and look up for most nights we have beautiful, starry skies. One of 3 one room cabins and 1 one bedroom cabins on the property, this cabin is small and yet has what you need after a day of exploring all Santa Cruz has to offer. To end the day, may I suggest a good novel by the creek or a nap in the sun.
This sacred land of coastal redwoods and an ancient creek is our family property and your nature vacation dream. When your neighbors are Christmas tree farms and retreat spaces you know you've landed someplace gorgeous.
Enjoy our complimentary cable TV with Netflix, Hulu and Prime in a comfortable queen bed. After s day of beach and mountain fun, enjoy the hot shower, a good nights sleep and hot coffee in the morning. Our spaces are small but have everything you need.
From the property, turn left to world renowned mountain biking trails at the Soquel Demonstration Forest. Stop by Summit Market for a delicious lunch where you can watch hawks soar from their patio eating the best tri-tip sandwich in town.
From the property, turn right and head down the hill towards Capitola beach. Capitola Village is home to diverse restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique shopping. This cabin is the perfect location to explore Santa Cruz beaches, mountains and culture or just to get away from it all and relax.
We hope you enjoy your private cabin with a full bathroom and shower, your patio right outside your front door and your shared deck with patio set. Walk on our paved walkway 1 minute down the hill to a sweet private creek beach on the bubbly Soquel Creek.

HIKING
There’s a lot to love about Santa Cruz but perhaps one of the biggest draws to this coastal town is just how much nature there is to explore within the county.
The great thing about the hiking trails in Santa Cruz is how different they are from each other. You could be hiking along a windswept coastal trail one minute and then be in the midst of a redwood forest in just a 20-minute drive.
Since Santa Cruz County takes up a relatively small area, it's amazing how diverse it is and how many different types of hikes you can find within its county lines.
You can expect to find old-growth redwoods, enchanted forests, waterfalls, and some breathtaking scenic views on the California Coast.
Coast redwood trees are the tallest trees on the planet. They can grow to 300 feet high or more, as compared to the tallest pine tree at 268 feet or the tallest tanoak at 162 feet.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
While surfing may have first put Santa Cruz on the map, there’s a landlocked sport that’s been gaining traction and attracting international attention over the last couple decades. The epicenter of mountain biking sits right here in “Surf City” with year-round riding conditions and world-class trails just minutes from the property.
Our area has phenomenal Mountain biking. Head up Old San Jose and turn right on Summit. About a mile down on the right you with find the Demo.
The Soquel Demonstration Forest, also known as "Demo," is home to a series of mountain biking trails. Many of the singletrack trails course down ridges, largely on old logging road cuts created when the forest was first logged beginning in the 1930s. These routes were adopted as part of the recreational trail network when Cal Fire acquired the property in the early 1990s. Additional singletrack trails were established through Cal Fire's collaborations with local mountain biking clubs in 2000 (Braille Trail) and 2015 (Flow Trail). The trails have grown into some of the most popular in the California Bay Area and attract bikers from around the world.
Haven't had enough at the Demo then head down the hill from our place and hop on the 1 Highway south a few exits to Nisene Marks.
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park is a state park of California protecting a secondary forest in the watershed of Aptos Creek and Soquel Creek within the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is located outside Aptos, California and contains over 40 miles of hiking trails and fire roads through 10,223 acres of variable terrain.
The park is a popular spot for running, hiking, and horseback riding. Additionally, it is a common location for mountain biking, which can be done on several trails including the Aptos Rancho Trail, Split Stuff Trail, Terrace Trail, and Vienna Woods Trail
SURFING
Santa Cruz is one of the top surfing destinations in California. Situated 85 minutes drive out of San Francisco, the city of Santa Cruz boasts some beautiful coastline that is well worthy of a visit, especially if you are a surfer.
The area is known for its moderate climate and beach going, alternative lifestyles. Nicknamed Surf City, Santa Cruz has 11 world-class surf breaks that are really worth checking out including point breaks over Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point, which it could be argued are some of the best surfing waves in the world.
With waves that are suited to all levels of surfer, Santa Cruz has something for everyone, from those that have never stepped foot on a surfboard to those who have devoted their entire lives to riding waves. Of course, with some of the biggest waves, visitors who are not familiar with some of the more fierce swells should take some time to familiarize themselves with the more dangerous spots before they start surfing Santa Cruz..
Other Santa Cruz Surf Spots
If you take a short drive up on Highway 1, you’ll come across lots of hidden surfing gems that are often breaking such as Año Nuevo or Waddle Creek State Beach. These more secluded spots are a bit off the beaten path and as such you’ll find them to be less crowded than the major beaches closer to the city. If you want a more chilled out feel to your days surfing Santa Cruz, this route may be the way to go.

Westside Surf & Skate is a great place in Santa Cruz to fulfil all your surf-related needs.

- "A very amazing, peaceful & beautiful spot right on a creek with owls singing and perfect hosts. We are already looking forward to returning for a much longer time.....Very close to many hikes and great places to get food to bring home to your cabin. Many thanks to MK and Lara." - "What a great stay. Emkay was a lovely host - responsive to any questions but otherwise unobtrusive. The cabin was cozy as advertised but lots of features in it to maximize the space. Everything was updated, modern, and nice quality (bed, towels, etc.). The cabin was situated with a small compound of other spaced-out cabins giving it a comfortable feel. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the river. Would definitely stay here again."

It was perfect because we had our dog and dog crate so we enjoyed the extra space. We were overlooking the creek and could hear the water from our deck.

- "Great place with amazing architecture and views. We would stay here again and again!" - "Quiet place with great view. Recommend it to everyone." - "This is an architectural gem!! Beautiful spot" - "This property is truly unique, nestled into a quiet hillside neighborhood, surrounded by oaks and an amazing sense of quiet peacefulness. Built in 1964, the boldly designed "treehouse" offers long-range views and small, wrap-around decks taking advantage of various angles into and above the canopy. Its two stories of living space feature large rooms and modern amenities, and it was warm and cozy on some chilly nights. Our only caveat is that some wear is showing, and it does seem overpriced, for that reason. A bit of refurbishing would help justify what the owners are asking. However, we also discovered that Vienna Woods trailhead into Nisene Marks State Park is only a ten-minute walk from the front door, which was great on a weekend when driving into the park was restricted by recent treefalls and flooding damage."

Summary:
Quiet, secluded spot tucked into second growth 100-foot redwood trees. Short (less than 100 foot walk) to site. Views overlooking the meadow and across from the avocado orchard! (feel free to pick some avos and pineapple guavas!!!) 10 minutes to town, 12 minutes to Capitola Beach! Bring your boards and your hiking shoes. Hike up the road (10 minutes) for ocean views.

Parking is a short walk to the site, within a few hundred feet! We have had six total signature sites on our property. Please note there is a gate code required, contact the host upon receiving your confirmation. Also note the county has a ban on open fires, so the firepit is not able to be used unless approved by our county.
Please take garbage out with you or you will be charged a fee!!
The Space:
Beach meets the redwoods at our campsite just 20 minutes to Santa Cruz and 40 minutes to San Jose, CA. 10 minutes to beach, 100 acres of redwoods, trails, owls, and deer! QUIET and peaceful yet close to it all!
Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature!
Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed with a memory foam mattress. The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, and 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs.
Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation.
Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.
Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.
What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling
-Bedding and pillows
Other Things to Note:
Leave no trace
Please bring your own bedding
Fireban in effect
Please take garbage out with you or you will be charged a fee!!
Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location.

Summary:
Its a short drive up the road (you will need a vehicle with beefy tires or a 4x4) OR you can take a 10 minute walk up the hill to your top of the world ocean views! Look from Monterrey point to Santa Cruz while sitting in seclusion under 100 foot tall redwoods and huge old oaks! Tree swing, archery, and mountain biking are all available. The ridge is great for start gazing and listening to the birds and the insects! You will feel so far away, but yet you are only 10 minutes to town and 12 minutes to Capitola Beach! Run to town for a nice dinner or get some takeout sushi and pop some champagne and watch the sunset.
We have had six total signature sites on our property. Leave no trace - take all trash with you. Please bring your own bedding. Reach out to us for the gate code prior to arrival. Also note the county has a ban on open fires, so the firepit is not able to be used unless approved by our county.
Please take garbage out with you or you will be charged a fee!!
The Space:
Top of the world campsite with 180 degree ocean views, just 20 minutes to Santa Cruz and 40 minutes to San Jose, CA! Tall Redwoods and huge old oak trees will surround you! Peace and quiet!
Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature!
Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed with a memory foam mattress. The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, and 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs.
Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation.
Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.
Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.
What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling
-Bedding and pillows
Other Things to Note:
Leave no trace - take all trash with you
Please bring your own bedding
Please take garbage out with you or you will be charged a fee!
Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location.
If a Tentrr Host submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the host's property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
Reservation Modifications/Cancellations: Please note the terms of the cancelation policy as they are outlined in your confirmation email.

Your Hosts- The Artist & the Naturalist
Lara, a San Francisco based kiln formed glass artist, developed her interest in art at an early age, learning art theory and techniques from her artist mother and then went on to study at the University. Lara's creative curiosity stimulates her to always be exploring and making the world around her more beautiful. “Everything beautiful is Art, but nature is the ultimate Artist”. If you are interested in the local arts community and offerings Lara would love to share with you.
Emkay is happiest in Nature. As a child he was always playing in the dirt, climbing trees and getting lost in nature. Emkay worked as a nature camp counselor and later camp director for NYC kids. He loved being in nature for the summer, but flourished teaching urban kids about nature.
Emkay and Lara met at a San Francisco cafe in 1994. Emkay was on a weekend leave from his job in Yosemite and Lara was selling her art on the streets of San Francisco. Fast forward 29 years of marriage and we left San Francisco life years ago, started a family and ultimately moved to this gorgeous property to raise our 4 children.
We love having guests from up the road and around the world visit this beautiful land. We can't get enough of sharing what we know about the natural beauty that surrounds us. Ask us questions, we live in paradise and we love to share.
Welcome! We're so happy to have you.

The space
Cozy up in the living room or master bedroom with fireplaces overlooking the ocean and right out your sliding door is a deck with a hammock under the redwoods. Awaken above the clouds as the fog rolls in below you. Relax in a state-of-the-art hot tub on top of the world overlooking the entire Monterey Bay. Enjoy magical outdoor dining under an illuminated glass chandelier beneath the trees or on the stunning terrace and take in the panoramic edge of the world views! Toast to the breath-taking sunsets from a comfy hammock or swinging chair. Watch hummingbirds dance from flower to flower, sometimes just a foot or two away.

Other things to note
Considerations:
We're at the end of a winding mountain road, 3 min from the main road, up in the Soquel Hills. The road up has several speed bumps that really must be taken slowly, and several somewhat steep switch-back turns.
Very private, though sound can carry, and parties, additional guests and gatherings could cause complaints, and are not allowed. Feel free to request reasonable exceptions in your booking inquiry. Only people on the registered guest list can come to the property.
The house has lots of steps and levels, both on the way into the house, and while walking throughout, in addition to a short, beautiful, wrought-iron staircase to the upper levels. The house is not child proof. If you request to have children stay at the property, you agree to hold the host blameless in the event of any mishap.
We provide one set of bed linens for each bed, one sets of bath towels and one spa towel per registered guest. You can launder them during your stay if necessary.
Cleaning fee is based on you leaving the property in good condition upon checkout, as described in the rental agreement. Extra charges may apply if additional housekeeping services are required.
