I can't say enough good things about our stay at the Merriewood retreat. Marilyn was so very kind to myself and my son, going above and beyond during our stay. The property was beautiful and welcoming, as was the interior space. There were thoughtful and beautiful decorations around the room which made it truly a unique space. The suite was exceptionally clean and the wifi was also strong and reliable. The location was convenient to anywhere in the bay area as everything we visited was within 30 mins of the property. Communication throughout our stay was seamless and Marilyn offered lots of info about local spots. Prior to our trip she even updated us regarding the state of the fires and any stay-in-place orders. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet respite away, in a beautiful and calming space!
