It was an excellent house in a nice quiet neighborhood. We had a fabulous time. It was also over 100 years old and it was fun to see the original architecture.
Wonderful property in a beautiful location! Historic Queen Anne Victorian; very comfortable with modern touches. Easy access to downtown Boulder Creek and local attractions. Very responsive host. Looking forward to returning!
Great location, short ride to Big Basins park or the ocean. I brought my own food, but the Roots market has a great selection. As a lone female traveler, I felt very comfortable and safe in this house. Had a great weekend in Santa Cruz area.
I love staying at Kariâs sweet place. It had everything I needed for a quiet getaway. It was very clean and the bed was so comfy that I didnât want to get out of it! Added bonus is the hiking trails that I could walk to. Thanks, Kari!
I brought my wife for her 60th birthday to see the redwoods since it's been on her to-do list for a long time, and we chose this location because it was nestled right between two excellent redwood state parks. Keri was a great host and checked on us through the app (out of respect for our privacy) several times to ensure that everything was going well and to see if we needed anything. The house was actually larger inside than I expected from the description, and was perfect for just the two of us. We were gone most of every day but it was a clean, comfortable, and relaxing home away from home to return to at the end of each day's adventures. If we decide to come visit Big Basin and Henry Cowell State Parks again in the future, this is where we'll stay.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in this old Victorian house. It had all the amenities that we needed. nicely decorated and very comfortable bed. Boulder Creek itâs such a beautiful little mountain town.Thank you, Kari!
This cottage is situated in a lovely neighborhood with redwoods trees and a babbling brook. The porch is pleasant and a nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee. The interior is mostly accurate to the photos, with the big comfy couch a highlight. The bedroom is tiny and the bed frame squeaks loudly every time one rolls over. The bathroom is bare bones. There is no counter space due to the pedestal sink, and there is no towel bars or even a toilet paper holder.
We enjoyed a thoroughly relaxing weekend in the redwoods. The neighborhood was very quiet and the amenities of Boulder Creek are all within walking distance. For those looking to eat out, Jenna Sue's Cafe and Scopazzi's are excellent. We hope to return for a future stay.
Through the window pink camelia blooms calmed me. Lunch in the yard looking up at the tall conifers refreshed me. Quiet night in a soft bed soothed me to sleep. This was a perfectly peaceful place.
We loved our stay in Boulder Creek. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz, while also being close enough to go there any time. The peaceful sound of the brook bubbling right next to the porch was just what we needed on our getaway!
Kari's place was immaculate and serene - just what we wanted for a mother/daughter getaway. It's such a beautiful place and so close to everything yet tucked away on a tiny road in the trees. Everything we needed was there, directions were super clear and Kari is a great host!
Kari's place is a delightful and comfortable one-bedroom cotage nestled in a quiet neighbourhood. We are so glad to have had the good fortune ro call it home for our week's stay in Boulder Creek.
Lovely, peaceful, quiet and clean. We enjoyed our stay and had quiet sunny mornings. Kari provided condiments and other supplies so we did not need to buy them. She also provided fresh eggs for our stay. Kari answered the questions we had quickly. Bed was comfortable. There were extra fans and heaters if needed. She made us feel at home.
We loved our stay at this adorable historic cottage. Loved all the updates like the beautiful kitchen and the wonderful windows while still keeping the old time charm. Close to some great hikes. A little far from the beach, but we still made our way there several times during our stay.
Really enjoyed our stay celebrating our anniversary surrounded by beautiful redwoods and a little babbling brook nearby!
Very peaceful and private. Owner lives nearby and TOTALLY respects your privacy. We stayed 3 nights and never crossed paths and she was ready , available and quick to respond to any of our needs...a great host! Wonderful location to enjoy both the forests and the ocean minutes away.
This was the perfect spot for exploring central California. And in the cutest, historic-landmark, house. Kari was great with recommendations and left us alone; in the best way possible. I hope all future VRBO hosts are half as good. 2 thumbs way up!
My wife and I stayed here during Christmas week, while we were visiting in-laws in San Jose. The house was everything we hoped for: spacious, charming, clean, with a well-appointed kitchen. The setting is incredible, high in the Santa Cruz mountains, redwoods everywhere. We hope to return someday!
I live on the property in a separate unit. There are also pets on the property, which will not interact with the guests. You will likely not see me unless you need something or I am getting the mail or a package from the porch. If the weather is hot I may need to water the front yard garden, but I respect your privacy greatly.
Things I love: gardening, animals, nature, hiking, live music, organic food.
I adore this town and this house. I have lived in the San Lorenzo valley since 1995. I bought this house as a fixer in 2003, gutted it to the studs and lovingly brought it to where it is now. I hope you enjoy.
