The lodge was perfect for our group, in a very quiet area a few miles from Pescadero. Lots of space for the group (15 people) to eat, to gather around the beautiful fireplace, or to hang out on the deck outside. The swimming pool is quite large (but the water was cold) and the hot tub was very nice. The house is rustic but the kitchen is great to cook for a large group (multiple burners, 3 large fridges, plenty of utensils and dishes/plates). We also rented the yurt for some discussions/presentations, which was fun! Overall, a great place for an informal retreat.
