Book a hotel near Mount Madonna Center, Watsonville

"Property smell like mildew "

"My two friends and I chose this location for a nice, peaceful, and relaxing getaway. I’ll start with the PROS: the scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the nearby downtown area is very cute with small coffee shops and restaurants to explore. When the resident family wasn’t home, it was nice and quiet. We also loved the friendly cat that came to visit—it was a sweet touch! Additionally, the owner was very responsive and quickly helped us when we needed new batteries for the remote.CONS: The listing stated it comfortably sleeps three with a queen bed and a twin bed, but the “twin bed” was actually an air mattress, not a real bed. Also, this rental is essentially a mother-in-law suite attached to the main house, which was not clearly described in the listing. Because of this, it felt less secluded than expected. We could hear the resident family, even with the windows closed, including children playing, screaming, and even full phone conversations. While we’re not opposed to kids being kids, we specifically chose this place expecting a more private and quiet experience. The listing describes it as a “cozy guest quarters” and it appeared under “entire home” results, which felt misleading given that it’s attached to an occupied main residence.Overall, this place has some lovely qualities, but clearer expectations in the listing would have made a big difference in our experience."

"This Vbro rental was perfect. It was very clean on the inside and felt like a stay at a wonderful home. The hosts were incredibly nice, they baked lavender chocolate scones and helped us find the location in the dark. I definitely plan on staying at the rental again. "

"This is a remarkable house, hidden in the redwoods on a small mountain road several miles from Watsonville. It's a uniquely designed home, a great kitchen, and four bedrooms. The road and driveway up to the house are themselves quite an experience, and guests should be aware that there are quite a few stairs up to the large deck. "

"Joe is a kind and patient host. The grounds look like they would be a lot of fun for a family event. The 1B1B cabin is absolutely lovely. Maybe a clothes hanger bar in the bathroom (under the cabinet) would be helpful? The 2B1B needs improvement and minor repairs. The breaker (for the plugs) was tripped when we arrived and it tripped again when we turned on a floor lamp with the refrigerator running. The futon bed was a bit “tippy” when pulled out, consider stands under the free side. The mini fridge may need a deep scrub.Overall clean and cute but “rustic.” Drive in was so pretty. The sheep and goat were fun to watch. Would consider a return trip to the 1B1B to explore the grounds more and relax in a cellular-free zone."

"Overall a beautiful large home,great pool and outdoor space. A couple small issues we called and she was there immediately. Ask for a code to the gate. We had one opener and 3 cars coming in and out wasn't easy. I would highly recommend this property. "
