The Bungalow

Can we stay here for a whole week

Our family of four (two adults, a six-year-old, and a nine-month-old) had an absolutely wonderful stay! Every day, my older son asked when we could come back and stay for a whole week, which speaks volumes. This place is truly amazing. The host provided clear instructions and responded quickly to any questions we had. The location is perfect - an easy drive from San Jose and a short hop to Santa Cruz, yet tucked away in the forest for complete privacy. There were so many amenities and things to do on the property that our six-year-old was never bored. He loved the treehouse, trampoline, huge green lawn, playground with swings and climbing structures, mini golf, basketball hoop, and more! Inside the bungalow, we found everything we needed for a perfect stay. The huge outdoor kitchen with a grill and a fire pit area was a fantastic bonus. We even opted for the s'mores extra, which was a huge hit with our son. Highly recommend this place - we can't wait to go back!

So easy

Such a great spot and so easy for a weekend getaway with kids. We has such a relaxing time with the kids running around on the large grassy yard. Spend one of the days at a nearby beach which was so easy to get to. Welcoming host! Thanks you!

Fully stocked remote site

Awesome site in the remote mountains of Santa Cruz, but close enough to local restaurants/shops and more. Our group of 11 had a great time at Erica-Ann's site. Check in instructions were super clear, and everything was as described. Although the site has a ton of amenities for kids, our group of adults loved it as well! The kitchen is well stocked as well, making cooking and storing food a breeze. We hope to stay again in the near future, thanks again!

The Bungalow

Absolutely stunning space with tons of amenities. We had a group of four families and a bunch of kids and there was always something to do. The space was beautiful, clean, and well thought through. Loved it!

Hands down a great family venue! EA was flexible and obviously take great care of the place, as do her two dogs who are very sweet. The place is secluded but within 15 minutes of town. A perfect spot and a birthday weekend to remember.
