This place was is a lovely little spot to visit outside the city! We loved the canyon views, the french doors in every room, all the light coming in the windows, and the natural products and emphasis we felt there (recycling bin, seventh generation dish soap, eco sponge). The style of the decor, the comfortable beds and big bathtub for our kids were fantastic! The kitchenette is enough for easy meals. Derek was always responsive and a great host. Your evenings on the deck will be more comfortable if you bring bug spray -- there are a few mosquitos to contend with. Close-ish to beaches, though not super convenient to come back for lunch so pack it or plan on eating out if you want to be out all day. All in all a great stay!
