Hilary was welcoming via email and text, which was just perfect for us since we were looking for some solitude. The cabin was beautiful, just the right size, and in a quiet, cool area. Perfect for spending a quiet, secluded day in or centralized enough to explore hiking or the city of Palo Alto. The kitchen was well-supplied with spices and basic needs, so we did not have to purchase everything! Parking spot was helpful!
