It would be hard to find a more picturesque building and location: a 1930s log cabin at the feet of towering redwoods. We literally gasped when we walked into the living room with its big comfy chairs and gas fireplace. Although there are neighbors near by, it was so quiet -- except for the occasional gobbles of wild turkeys and crowing of domestic roosters. From the cabin you can walk up the hill and explore the forest, without having to keep your dog on leash. We loved the spot so much we barely left, except for a kayak trip to cruise with the baby harbor seals and otters in Elkhorn Slough. The cabin is a short drive to restaurants and stores (albeit partly down a one-lane road), but you feel far from the city amid the silence of the sequoia. We had everything we needed. Cell service was spotty, but there's a land line and excellent WiFi. Highly recommended!
