I love Pescadero, and it was wonderful to find Leslie’s beautiful spot just in time for a stopover driving up from monarch-watching in Pacific Grove. Leslie is an attentive host and caretaker - everything is welcoming, immaculate, and carefully thought out - and very interesting to chat with. Her farm has a gorgeous view over the ocean, and visiting with the horses, hearing each of their stories, was a gift. Then of course there’s the utterly charming pup Rosie (my initial greeter), who keeps you company and makes sure everything stays shipshape! Leslie also provides her own excellent detailed guide to Pescadero*.
A true oasis; I really look forward to the next visit.
*Good to check on what’s open in town when you’re there - due to off-season as well as covid, some places are keeping minimal days/hours. I didn’t mind at all, just got food on the way and settled in cozily, watching the sunset with wine and curling up with a book. Wi-fi is fine. There’s a well-equipped food station for whatever you bring, plus coffee and tea and fresh pastries for next morning’s breakfast.
