The Bungalow

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.

Best birthday retreat in the woods!

Me husband & I looked for a private, wooded piece of serenity in Soquel. We found that & more staying at Erica & families private bungalow. Plenty of activities available. Hubby & I played a little putt putt contest on the patio. Made a visit in the awesome kids tree house. Viewed the stars at night. It was my 48th Bday & she made it special with some treats & a gorgeous welcome sign. My husband made me an amazing dinner on the grill outside. They had everything you need and more, just pack food and you’re all set. It was a perfect way to celebrate! My favorite part was the outdoor shower & it was such a peaceful place for an afternoon nap. I could go on & on with all the amenities they have. We will be telling our friends about this beautiful place & can’t wait to come back again. Thank you Erica. Hugs, from Tim & Sara

The Bungalow

Fun and Peaceful Gem of a site!

We stayed at the Bungalow with our river rafting staff and it was perfect for our group!! So many fun things to do - everything from a trampoline to mini golf to a fire pit and more!! There are so many small touches like small fairy houses that my toddler loved playing with. The amenities were great - really nice outdoor shower, wi fi, and phone charger. The outdoor kitchen was fantastic. Erica Ann was so responsive and checked in on us a few times and made sure we had everything we needed. It felt very peaceful tucked away in the redwoods while being a short drive away to the beach or town. I would 100% recommend this spot to others, especially groups!

Small company Retreat

We loved our camping experience at the bungalow on Erica’s land! The place for our group was perfect for our company retreat. There was a lot of fun activities to do at the property and it was a great experience for us coming from a much hotter location. We played putt, putt, climbed ropes, played frisbee, played football, and other yard games. Santa Cruz is about 15 to 20 minutes away, and is nestled in the redwood forest. Getting past the gate off of Nacasio rd, Was straightforward with the instructions, And there’s enough information to find your way to the site. We did have a large vehicle that made it to the top of the steep paved road. I wouldn’t recommend over 25 feet for a rig, Probably not a trailer. Erica Was very responsive, And went out of her way several times to make sure that we had everything we needed. We will probably come here again, either just individual groups or possibly another company hoedown. 🏕️👍🏄‍♂️🌊👍
