This property is a pretty good ways down a winding one-lane mountain road. The cottage is well separated from the main house, in a small fenced-in orchard of apples and persimmons. Uncovered windows only face the pasture and gully, surrounded by beautiful trees; it is exceptionally quiet and private. The cottage is simple but well appointed, just enough for one or two guests. There are many trails easily accessible in adjacent El Corte de Madera Open Space Preserve and other nearby preserves. It’s really the perfect place for quiet time in the redwoods. Julie and Steve are available and attentive, but don’t get involved if you don’t need them. They have two beautiful dogs, one old and aloof, the other a sweet puppy, both of whom will be kept well away unless you want them around. I will definitely be back.
