My son and I stayed at David’s ranch. It was a perfect location for taking in the abundance of natural beauty and served as the perfect home base for our Santa Cruz exploration. David was kind and enthusiastic about sharing lots of his favorite spots in the area. My 10 yo son fell in love with David’s horses and said hello to them first thing each morning. We would definitely return!
David was a wonderful host and his property was even more beautiful than the photos showed. We particularly enjoyed saying hello to the horses and meeting David's super helpful caretaker, Jeff :) Only complaint was internet for working remotely- had trouble getting and keeping a reliable connection, even though I called ahead about it. This cost us a day of work and we had to go to the Santa Cruz Marriott in order to have WiFi. But ultimately David did his best to help and and it worked much better the second day. As long as you are not trying to work remotely, I highly recommend this stay!
David is a wonderful host. Warm, kind and knowledgeable of many things from places to eat, to the history of the area and of course, horses! He has two beautiful horses, Rico and Fosse. We got to feed them carrots and you can see them from the suite. We walked around the grounds and star gazed our second night. It was quiet, clean, comfortable and just all around amazing. If you want to get away from the current state of our world, David's place feels miles, if not worlds away from it all!
All around great stay. David was so friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful! Perfect location for mountain biking/hiking, a just a short drive to Santa Cruz.
Fantastic location. Up above the UC Santa Cruz campus but not too far from town and beaches. Friendly owner and interesting horses!
David is the welcoming owner of this beautiful ranch for a wonderful weekend of relaxation and hiking.
This is a remote ranch located in the beautiful Santa Cruz hills. It is a great location for a couple looking to hike and explore the large property. There are two curious and beautiful horses staying across the driveway from the room. David is a warm and friendly host that worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. When he knew that he wouldn’t have a lawn area available, he contacted us in case we wanted to reschedule - and offered a free bottle of wine and even an extra night if we wanted it. As my husband is disabled, we couldn’t take full advantage of his many acres of land. However, we enjoyed the quiet location for a getaway from city life.
David was a wonderful host and his property provided a much needed retreat. We enjoyed the views, hiking, and meals under the redwood trees. I will definitely visit again!
Clean area and very comfortable bed.
The studio was perfectly equipped for our weekend, and was close to town for dining, shopping and also the beach. David was such a friendly host. We highly recommend this studio for peace and quiet with easy access to conveniences nearby.
