History
Nestldown is a 180-acre property that was originally designed and developed for the owners and their family use with the goal of offering a special space for the non-profits benefitting disadvantaged or disabled individuals or those in crisis and transition. It is a private family retreat nestled among the redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounded by acres of carefully tended flower gardens and fruit orchards with 35 acres designated to events. In 1998, Nestldown had it's first family wedding without knowing that in 20 years it would be hosting over 100 events a year. In 2013, the owners began personally managing the Events and recently completed a year and a half of enhancement to the property like a state of the art catering kitchen and brand new bathroom facility! Nestldown still stays true to what it was founded on by still making to time to host Non-Profit events among its bustling schedule of Business events and Weddings!
