Julie was the consummate host, and her cottage couldn't have been more ideal for our purposes: my partner wrote much of the last chapter of his book there, in record time.
Actually, Julie's cottage is ideal no matter what your purpose, even if you have none at all! It's a fully-equipped private forest oasis to recharge, recenter and get inspired.
Though her family lives in the main house nearby, we never heard or saw them, but it was comforting to know that Julie was there if we needed anything. She's an excellent communicator and lovely person all around!
And did I mention the majesty of those several acres of old-growth redwoods? Pure magic. Thanks to Julie for the perfect getaway. We will be back!
