This place is a gem. La Honda is a quiet mountain town, with the benefit of also only 10 minutes from the ocean. Devora and Tom are wonderful hosts. They gave me a tour of their lovely property, with education of their unique pottery techniques and glimpses of projects they are working on. I couldn’t resist purchasing a beautiful flat wear piece before leaving. Devora gave me great recommendations of what local things to do... I ate at Alice’s-the local diner up the road, shopped at San Gregorio general store, walked to the La Honda general store for a late night snack, and did a great morning hike loop around their neighborhood that took me up hills and on a back road dirt path. This is a great place to get away from the city and enjoy rest and relaxation. The shack itself was very neat and clean. Devora and Tom provided everything I could need and more, including delicious homemade plum jam and English muffins for breakfast- yum! I will definitively be returning to this lovely retreat!
