About the host
Hosted by Oz Nolz
We have lived in the Los Gatos/Santa Cruz Mnts for about a about 14 years and have loved every second of it (Except when evacuating for wildfire threats)! We are a young active family of 4: 3 kids, a dog and a cat.
Why they chose this property
Villa Nola's tranquility, safety, peace, majestic redwoods and rolling fog are just a few things we adore about the setting. This new built cottage was designed, built and decorated by the owners in a way that they would want to live in themselves.
The cottage is located on the same property as the main home, just 50ft-ish apart, but sitting above the main house gives the cottage great privacy.
The Location is bar none, straddled 15-20mins between Silicon Valley and the world renowned Monterey Bay each direction and only an Hour to San Francisco and Monterey/Carmel gives you endless opportunities to explore!

What makes this property unique
Right outside the cottage door you are a short hike from one of the outlets to the historic Wrights Tunnels along the Laurel Creek that served as a "modern way" for transporting logged timber and transporting folks from the valley to the ocean in the late 1800's.
We are within less than a 5 mile radius of 6 craft wineries, and 20mins to where there are several craft beer brewers. 10mins to Demo Forest for world class Mnt biking trails and so much more!
The location and the cottage are a true best kept secret!
