Check in was smooth with the code system and the place was already warm as they had lit the fire. The place was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Quite a romantic getaway! It is cosy, very clean and has everything you need (even electric blankets). There is a manual with local tips, you can also borrow equipment like kayaks if you ask in advance. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to really explore the lake and surrounding area and truly regret not staying longer! There's quite a lot you can do! It is a bit of a drive (20mins) back into town so I would recommend getting groceries on the way in. That being said it is quite close to the Redwoods forest/ tree walk. Try to get there when there is still light the first time as there aren't many street lights and the driveway is a bit narrow and steep with a tight turn if you haven't been there before. All in all the perfect little getaway!
