My girlfriend and I had such a great time at Marlena and Tim's Cottage! The area the cottage is in is really nice - lots of beautiful gardens, and even a redwood or two. There was a little downtown we could walk to in just a couple of minutes with some nice restaurants. They had a farmer's market on Sunday which was an unexpected treat. The cottage itself is lovely. There are a ton of little touches that made it such a nice place to stay, like a super comfortable bed, some snacks, a very well thought out house book, and an extra iPhone charger. Marlena herself was a very kind host, and offered some great tips on what to do and where to go. I'd absolutely recommend The Cottage to anyone looking for a nice relaxing place to stay in the valley.
