What People Are Saying

 

“I stayed there for 3 days and had the best time! I needed to getaway and disconnect and it was the perfect place to be alone and read and meditate. Her art studio is unbelievably inspiring and she leaves out some art supplies for your to tap into your creativity! This is my new go-to place.”

— Alinane

“Denise was incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive. Her art studio/cottage was the perfect place to spend our weekend honeymoon. The cottage was perfectly placed for spending time in the charming town of Watsonville, and for visiting Monterey and Santa Cruz… Our only complaint was that we couldn’t spend more time there.”

— Ethel

“This place was perfect! Denise is a gracious host. She offered us a light breakfast, muffins, and even had the forethought to bring us binoculars to bird watch! The stay was quiet and cozy, and the fireplace provided the perfect ambience as well as warmth. I will definitely be back for a getaway!”
