Cute little trailer on a 10 acre farm property. Located just off of scenic highway 1 on a historic property is your very own private campsite. Deck, fire pit, and outdoor shower available. You will be close to world class surfing, hiking, and beaches. Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur are close by as well. Our property was a historic winery back in the 1800's and is now a charming bed and breakfast. Great for up to 2 guests and one dog. Pets are allowed with notice at time of booking!Pull right up to the deck of your private campsite located on our private 10 acre estate. The property was once the site of one of the first wineries in Santa Cruz County. The trailer has heat, A/C, toilet a small kitchen and bathroom and outdoor shower. There is also a queen size memory foam mattress, a dinette for eating, working, etc. and a Smart TV with wifi. The deck has chairs and a gas firepit. Nisene Marks Reedwoods State Park is a quick 2 miles away with amazing hiking and mountain bike trails. Capitola Village is 3 exits away up highway 1 and Carmel and Monterey are about 45 minutes south. Note: the queen size mattress is a queen RV style, which is 73 inches long so if you’re over 6 feet tall, you may need to fold out the dinette bed and sleep slightly diagonally.

Awesome host. Well equipped camper. Very secluded / tranquil location quiet and easy access to other parts of city locations. Will definitely come back again to explore other destination in the area including B&B Kid had fun seeing goats and chicken and the host even brought us some freshly laid eggs! He even provided a small grill to use over the picnic table. Time it right you may even get some fresh fruit off their many fruit trees. Easy checkin n checkout.

Great little trailer with all the amenities you need! The property on which it resides is beautiful and tucked away from the busy summer crowds of Santa Cruz. The host is super responsive and was quick to help when needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great last minute stay to get away from the city for the week! We're avid campers but were looking for something a bit more glampy where we could get some work done. The trailer was perfect for us two adults and our small dog, all 3 of us enjoyed sunny deck mornings and comforts of the trailer in the cool evenings. Wifi is good enough to answer emails/browse the web but a bit spotty for video calls. The grounds are beautiful and we were able to explore them since no other guests were on site while we were there. The location is also perfect, far enough to be away from the summertime crowds but close enough to get nearly anywhere within 15ish mins - hiking, surfing, walking around the many quaint downtown areas. We would definitely stay again! Only thing of note is that the trailer wasn't as secluded as we expected it to be. It's quite close to an overflow parking area which didn't bother us since noone else was on site, but I could see it being not ideal when the b&b has guests or an event.

Just beyond the dirt parking lot of a large property and beautiful event space (mostly weddings) and bnb, this little trailer sits alone at the top of the property. As the only guests onsite, we had plenty of privacy and were free to wander the property and enjoy its many nooks and crannies, all of which are surrounded by lush scenery and short nature paths. Derek and his family live on the property as well and were accommodating and responsive, offering us fresh plums and walks with their goats. Yes, you can walk their goats around the property. For the two of us and our little doggo, this was an affordable, comfortable and peaceful getaway from the city. Highly recommend!
