Super quiet, private, cozy space with the whole backyard basically to ourselves - the use of the grill was a great bonus! Nice little patio area under big trees to have your morning coffee or just gaze at the lovely mountains. We went hiking several times in Eaton Canyon while we were there, just a mile to the trail head from the house with a shady hike along the river that leads to a waterfall! Stayed for a month while on fellowship at The Huntington, would stay again for sure.
