Although I did not meet Ruth, I did meet her husband, Brian, who helped us with bags, showed us around, even made us a dinner reservation. Extremely friendly with tons of local tips. Very comfortable with lots of exceptionally thoughtful little touches - water, milk, juice, yogurt in the fridge, bread for toast, all kinds of butter, jam, vegemite, coffee, sugar, fruit, chocolates...just awesome. Beds comfortable, complete with electric blankets if you're cold, and plenty of toiletries in the bath (including q-tips - so they're clearly getting my vote). You get basically the "downstairs" of the house, we had two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with two twin beds. Perhaps these sometimes get rented separately, but in this case we got them both for a family of four. Convenient access to some hiking trails around the peninsula as well. And don't forget to meet Scooter (adorable little King Charles/lowechen mix)!
