About this property

2 BR Master wing in a Soquel hideaway

This is one of 2 master wings in a beautiful hand-built home on a 5-acre apple orchard. We are 4 miles from the ocean, but the last mile is our driveway, so there is a real sense of seclusion. We built the house with another couple, so the house has 2 private master wings. Our partners moved to be closer to their grandchildren, so their wing is now available.

The master bedroom is quite large. It has a king size bed and a couch that becomes a queen size bed. Separating the beds is a gas fireplace. The 2nd bedroom has a double bed and a large built-in desk. In the same space, but separated by a room divider, there is a partial kitchen, including an under-counter refrigerator, microwave, induction burner, toaster, and kitchenware.

The enormous bathroom is shared by the bedrooms. It has a double vanity, a private toilet room, a 6 foot by 6 foot walk-in shower and an over-size bath tub.

The bathroom and the 2nd bedroom open onto a private deck. There is a gravenstein apple tree over-hanging one end of the deck. If you come stay before mid-August, you can pick fresh apples from the deck!

Great stay!

Geoff was kind, accommodating, and very responsive. The place is bigger than anticipated and perfect for my husband and I with our 4 kids. We were juggling summer camp pick up for one child the first day and drop off for two children the following day and this place was perfect for all of us to stay. The road up to the house is as described but I was able to make it up fine in my Suburban. It’s a little scary doing it during the day so I would be very nervous making that drive at night.

Amazing stay at a quaint rustic Santa Cruz get away

This property is really spectacular. Amazing scenery and very modern accommodations. The wing is very spacious and Geoff is more than accommodating. Great place to stay if you want to be away from hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz.

Beautiful home near Santa Cruz

The property is exquisite. My son said he had the best shower of his life there. The entire home is spacious and very comfortable, with everything you need handy. Our hosts were very communicative and gracious, even giving us a tour when we arrived later than we expected to. We only wish we had time to stay longer, but we would definitely return!

100% recommendation

Large appartment and well eqipped appartment in a extra-ordinary nice house which is located in the hills of Soquel. We enjoyed very much having breakfast on the spacious deck of the appartment which is surrounded by apple trees - so peaceful! You have to drive a narrow graveled road to get there - we easily managed to drive there with a very big SUV. Geoff and his wife are really nice and helpful. They also provided us some recommendations for restaurants. Our family of five really enjoyed our stay.

Wish I had more time to spend there

We were there on a sibling gathering of 5, 50+ year olds. Just a private night together after the passing of our eldest Sister. Reminiscing, looking at childhood photos. Santa Cruz was a family weekend thing, as we were growing up together in San Jose. Even revealed some family secrets. It was perfect for us! My only regret was that in our busy Memorial Events schedule is that we, as a family, couldn't spend more time there. The surroundings were so peaceful and gorgeous.
