This little cottage getaway was a picturesque retreat away from the city. A total disconnect to reenergize. Stephen was super accommodating, and very thoughtful. The cottage has everything you need upon arriving, including food which was a thoughtful touch, seeing as the local shops are not within walking distance. The canyon trails are very close to the house, and a lovely day time excursion. There is very limited cell signal in the canyon, and the only time that proved to be a problem was when the power went out (no wifi). When the power went out (due to fires surrounding the canyons-not an everyday occurrence mind you) , Stephen didn't leave me stranded and drove me up to a point in the canyon that had signal. While I had to cut my stay bit short due to the fires, I had a really lovely, relaxing time overall! The work and artistic touches Stephen has put into the cottage are really special and there is intention behind every detail in the house. Friends that would drop me off, were dazzled by this rare gem of a find. Would recommend for a staycation away from the city and for first time visitors alike :)
