This house was an ideal place for a birthday getaway. Just a quick trip from San Jose and I was able to spend a few days reading novels by the fire, taking a long hot bath, and being surrounded by the redwoods outside. The house is very cozy, clean, and with helpful instructions/suggestions from the owners. For the first few days, I brought in my own meals/food so that I could just relax indoors. My husband and son joined me for the weekend. We enjoyed burgers at the nearby Cowboy Bar and Grill, as well as a hike at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Afterwards, we were able to watch some TV, play some family games (Battleship), write a poem on the fridge, and use the old fashioned typewriter. My son did not want to leave. We enjoyed our mini-break and look forward to booking this place again soon. Thank you for this incredible stay!
