We’re looking for visiting scholars to UCSC or Cabrillo, to enjoy our beautiful “tiny house” for an academic quarter or two — from a few weeks to a few months. Cozy for winter, relaxing all summer. The location is ideal for a visitor with little baggage who wants an instantly clean and comfortable place to live, cook, relax, study, and explore the outdoors. Perfect for one. You are welcome to host an occasional overnight visitor. Our accommodations are a tiny house built from a vintage Shasta, with a private patio, heated outdoor Japanese-style bathroom/bidet/shower, and private laundry. Truly a lovely place to come home to, in every season. Please see full photos and video tour at the “Property Link,” below. We are retired professors and enjoy offering you our local knowledge and hospitality. Note: Yes, we have quality mountain bike, road bike, and surfboard we rent to tenants, if you are curious or keen.
