Where serendipitous things happen.
A creative sanctuary in the redwoods—where stories are planted, beauty takes root, and culture grows in communion.


A place where creativity pays it forward.
Chez Serendip is a six-acre creative sanctuary in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a reunited 1920s homestead that is now a bed and breakfast, a music venue and recording studio, an event space, and an artist residency, all carried by a nonprofit foundation. Here is how it works: the land earns its keep through stays, events, and recording sessions, and the Chez Serendip Foundation turns that into free and sliding-scale programs for artists and neighbors. Every booking helps carry the mission forward.
Find Your Door
However you arrive, there is a way in. Stay the night, gather your people, make something, or help fund the work. Every path through the gate feeds the same mission.
