I needed a quiet place to retreat for a week from the bustle of Silicon Valley and focus on a writing project. This cabin was the perfect solution. It is nestled in the redwood trees along Skyline Drive, so you feel like you are hours away from Silicon Valley. At the same time, there is a good restaurant/bar next door (which you can walk to if you get tired of cooking for yourself). In addition, the drive to Half Moon Bay is only about 20 minutes and Stanford/Palo Alto is only about 30 minutes. (During peak traffic you might need to add 50% to those time estimates). So it would even be feasible to stay here and do business meetings every day in Silicon Valley or sightsee along the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1). That said, once you are here it is so cozy, peaceful and relaxing that you may not want to leave at all.
