“My now wife (Char) and hosted a camping weekend after our wedding ceremony at Venture Retreat Center. The space was perfect for what we were looking for. It's rustic and a bit rough around the edges, but it has all the creature comforts you would need in a glamping getaway (power, heated showers, a HOT TUB). Janelle was very easy to work with. Venture got hit pretty hard by a mud slide earlier in the year and Janelle was working hard to make sure that we had a good experience and had everything we needed.We catered one of our meals through Loma Mar (and loved it).Venture is a beautiful space, surrounded by a ton of beauty. We hosted a field trip to the beach with a geology talk/tide pool viewing, a crochet circle, karaoke. It was just a lovely space that helped us facilitate community.Janelle had set up a number of bell tents for our guests, which were super clean, and spacious. The yurt provided the perfect heated, powered activity room for our guests when it got cold. The large tent with bed + fridge, coffee, made for the perfect honeymoon suite.We are looking forward to their renovations and returning in the years to come.”

“Lovely place to stop on Hwy 1 between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz. A nonprofit organic farm with some yummy pies, jams and more. Interesting and unique gifts as well.”
