The cottage was perfect! Up in the mountains secluded away from the every day city life. I loved that it had no tv and brought the family together to play board games available in the cottage. The backyard was also perfect, gas grill with an outdoor table with nice weather to go along with the peace and quietness of nature! Being so close to the coast we enjoyed a 10 minute drive up north to the Big Basin Redwoods State park. Also stopped at the beach for the views, we got to see sea lions pop there head up out of the water and swim away a few times. I would love to have stayed longer, the cottage is just right for nature lovers and to get away from the normal!
