I had such a wonderful experience here - the cottage was nice and cozy, quiet peaceful, and very well maintained. The outdoor shower? Well, it is a little different, but hey, you're in California, don't be shy! Actually, it was a pretty cool addition to the whole experience and felt very private. The neighborhood was quiet and it was very easy to get around the area. I can't say enough about how wonderfully nice the people at the compound are, Louise in particular, who is a charming and fascinating person. She made checking in a breeze and was very easy to communicate with. Thank you all for making my stay with you so fantastic! I would recommend staying here to travelers of any stripe.
