We had such a fabulous time during our long Thanksgiving weekend at this lovely home. We were celebrating Thanksgiving, my husband's 84th birthday, our daughter and son-in-law's 20th anniversary and Chanuka all during this 5 day stay. It had to be special.
Our entire family gathered - a party of 10, including 2 teenagers. Six in our group are very accomplished chef's and they planned and shopped for incredibly celebratory meals. One of the biggest draws for us was the gourmet chef's kitchen in this home and the large dining room and table. It did not disappoint! There was ample room for six opinionated chef's each doing their specialty, and also space for those of us assigned sous-chef chopping and peeling duties The kitchen had every gourmet tool, pot, bowl, knife that the cooks could ever want and the large stove and double oven accommodated them all. Our family has the most fun when we are cooking together and this was perfect. The dining room comfortably seats 10 (or more) and the wide sideboard was perfect to serve buffets. Needless to say, the meals were amazing and such fun. After we cleared the dishes, we did puzzles together on that large table.
The home was immaculate, the beds were comfortable. The younger generation (our kids and grandkids) loved the hot tub and all of us did the puzzles and games that are stocked in the living room. The grounds around the property are beautiful and we loved our excursions to the nearby beach and Redwood Forest. Jen welcomed us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the home and suggestions for the area and even baked a fragrant, delicious apple gallette for us to enjoy on our arrival. We had such a lovely time at this beautiful home and location. Thank you!
