Our Host communicated well with us before and at arrival, the pictures and the description don't do the place justice. This canyon location is amazing with giant redwood and eucalyptus right outside the door (and windows) ahhhh the aroma....And we were lucky enough to be there on our last day in a rain storm where we were inside the cloud and there was a raging creek with waterfalls. The cottage is comfortably sized, well appointed, clean, with super amounts of storage. We stayed a month and loved it! Stella and Martin provided local guides, maps booklets and were immediately responsive to any questions or needs. While friendly, we only saw them twice and we had ultimate privacy.
