Based on the thoughtful reviews from our beloved guests, we have recently completed the following upgrades: Enhanced Privacy & Entry: We have installed a brand-new main entrance leading directly into the living room. This ensures that all bedrooms remain completely private and separate from the entry flow. Upgraded Security: For your peace of mind and a seamless check-in, we’ve upgraded to a Yale Digital Assure 2 smart lock on the main entrance. Atmospheric Lighting: We’ve added extra exterior lighting to the stairs, patio and main entrance for safer evening arrivals. Plus, our pool features vibrant, colorful atmosphere lighting to create a romantic highlight for your night under the stars. Upgraded Pool Care: We have enhanced our professional pool maintenance service to keep the water fresh and inviting. While the majestic redwoods may occasionally drop a leaf or two between cleanings, we work hard to ensure the pool is well-maintained and ready for you to enjoy the serene mountain atmosphere. Clearer Operation Guides: To ensure you feel right at home, we now provide digital and physical guides on how to easily operate our secure French door/Patio door locking system. We are so grateful for our community of guests who help us make this mountain retreat better every year!

Other Details to Note

Getting Around This home is approximately 20-30 minutes outside of Los Gatos and Santa Cruz. Minutes from the local favorite store, and close to major commute roads make the villa feel remote without being so. This hidden jewel is awaiting your visit and calling a peaceful mind. - Summit Store (local grocery store) (5-10 minute drive) - Regale Winery & Vineyard (8 minute drive) - Nestldown (event space) (13 minute drive) - Downtown Los Gatos (20 minute drive) - Capitola Village (25 minutes) - The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park (20-30 minute drive) - Santa Cruz Beach & Boardwalk (30 minute drive) Other things to note: - The pool is not heated and is supplied by the well. We have the pool professionally maintained on a weekly basis. However, since the property is nestled in natural redwoods, occasional leaves and debris may find their way into the pool. - The last quarter mile of the drive contains a one lane, private road that does require a confident driver. - While this house is pet-friendly, please be mindful that wild animals are expected in the woods, so any pets should not be left unattended outside during the day OR night. - There can be minimal cell phone reception on the way to the house. Make sure that you have your map loaded before you make the drive.

If you’re looking for a private and peaceful place this is the place to be… Hidden in the forest of Los Gatos you get to feel the nature surrounding this property. The house is very clean and cozy. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Great place and a wonderful host. Unfortunately, I had to check out early due to a personal issue, which was no fault of the host at all. They were very understanding, responsive, and helpful throughout. I truly appreciated their kindness and would absolutely recommend staying here.
