Our favorite was hiking on the well shaded, beautiful sequoia trial. We also enjoyed sitting in the sun room, watching and listening to the rain. We love the location. Drive 2 min away you have Safeway, CVS, bank, etc. inside a small plaza. When we return to the cottage, we get the "away from the city" feel, which makes this a convenient and desirable location. Even though there were many other cabins around, we felt the privacy, the quietness and the secluded feeling. The cottage is by a busy road and we can hear each car that passes by but that doesn't bother us at all. The cottage has a full kitchen but no scissors. Some things need refills such as grains & spices. Eco pods are available for washing body and hair. We had a relaxing and wonderful time. We would love to return.
