Julie's a friendly and easy-going hostess. She took time to cook meals and even had treats on hand for my overly-excitable puppy, who was allowed to roam free.
The property is beautiful - a redwood lodge surrounded by redwood trees. It has easy access to a creek trail that reminded me of Sanborn Park. It's a two-min drive away from Alice's Restaurant, which is such a unique Northern Californian institute - I woke up to the sound of birds and - on weekends - fast cars.
There were several tents as well as a couple of rooms - in combination with meals, it made for an unexpectedly fun intermingling of guests.
My tent was spacious, with two chambers holding a large monitor, soft mattress, bean bag chair, and water/coffee station. The large yard was well-lit with stringed lights.
I plan to visit again. It was a mini getaway but the casual atmosphere made it feel like a home.
