Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Something old, something new... history + hospitality for your "I do"! Set on a lushly wooded parcel that was once the site of Santa Cruz County's first winery, this dreamy hideaway is now a gracious, family-owned bed and breakfast, thoughtfully renovated and adorned with lovely antique furnishings and fixtures.
- The gardens and grounds are gorgeous: shaded paths weave through ancient trees, sun-dappled groves are nestled amid lush greenery, and verdant ivy drapes from the stone and cement walls that encircle a bistro-lit patio. There's a sweet whitewashed barn, a charming wooden pavilion, and a near-endless array of backdrops for both intimate and grand gatherings.
- Curated vendor services, comprehensive planning and coordination, and on-site lodging make the process easy, breezy, and stress-free. The icing on the (complimentary, custom-made) cake? Whether you're envisioning an elopement, micro-wedding, or larger celebration, your rental includes a two-night stay in the beautiful farmhouse, which sleeps 18 guests across five well-appointed rooms and includes daily breakfast and wedding day lunch.
