“Nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this property feels like a secluded retreat, despite its proximity to the East Bay. The on-site spa, hiking trails, and dining at The View restaurant enhance the experience, while exceptional service, particularly in the restaurant, makes it a worthwhile destination. It's a peaceful escape with attentive staff and striking views.”
