Jay's place is just wonderful. My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend away to de-stress, and it was everything we hoped for and more.
We felt our stress levels start to melt away the minute we got off Highway 17, driving through the immense redwoods on the way to his place. Then, arriving at the cottage, we found the place immaculately clean, well-appointed, well-maintained, and best of all, comfortable and relaxing! The giant redwood trees surrounding the cottage provided dappled lighting and gorgeous views out of the windows, sliding glass doors, and generously-sized transparent skylights in the living room and bedroom.
The cottage is decorated with vintage posters mostly of Grateful Dead concerts, and were an enjoyable point of conversation for us as we relaxed in the space. Although we're not Grateful Dead lovers, we even spent an evening listening to the Grateful Dead's music and looking up their history, inspired by Jay's love of the band.
The deep quiet of the cabin helped our blood pressure drop, and we slept like the dead (haha!) because the bed was so comfortable and the air was so fresh thanks to the forest setting.
Our biggest regrets for the weekend were simply not having enough time to be here longer. We didn't get a chance to try out the tub or hang out on the deck (with its beautiful views) nearly as much as we would have wanted. Good reasons for us to book our next trip here soon!
