We were blown away by Shelley and Jeff's place! It was so clean and so comfortable and they had left out nothing, as far as anything you could need. The space itself is very large. We felt like we had our own apartment. The view was spectacular and right in the middle of nature. We did not use the pool, but can't wait to return and do so. Consideration for your comfort and needs is the top priority at Shelley and Jeff's. You really do not need to leave to enjoy yourself, as there is cable, internet, DVDs, CDs and books, books, books. Did I mention the heated mattress pad and the endless supply of beautiful towels?? We loved the central location that was close to town and restaurants. The fact that you are right in between Big Basin State Park and Henry Cowell park was perfect for us. A short ride in either direction and you were walking among some of the most spectacular Giant Redwoods to be found. We loved our hosts and communication was perfect! We can't wait to return.
