About

Lupin Lodge features majestic views of the Sequoias and Coastal Redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains. You will find a superb micro-climate that is conveniently located 15 minutes from Los Gatos in a secluded, gated location that ensures privacy. Enjoy the refreshing waters of the pool and hot tub. Activity oriented people will enjoy nude nature hikes on 110 wooded acres with many mountain trails, or a game of volleyball or tennis on the recently renovated courts. As the sun goes down, enjoy delicious dining by Chef Michelle at “Nourish at Lupin” our new restaurant. Wish to stay overnight? Consider reserving one of our charming furnished Yurts for overnight accommodations. Lupin also offers camping alternatives for people who bring their own tent or RV. Yoga, volleyball tournaments, family activities, dances, concerts and other entertainment. Big shade trees, green lawns, sun decks with umbrellas. Natural wildlife, a friendly staff. Art Classes every other Saturday with many of the results scattered throughout the Lupin grounds. Open daily and year-round.
