Mary Jane’s place is a haven from the hustle and bustle of LA life. All i wanted for my birthday was to be with nature and that is exactly what I found in her cottage. The bed, pillows, and the couch in the living area were super comfy. I loved the windows that allowed plenty of natural light to shine through. I found that the kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to make a full breakfast (we went out for lunch and dinner). We went during rainy weather and the heaters were great! A little too good lol we had to turn it off in the middle of the night because we got hot. Mary Jane was quick to respond to any questions we had. We had a wonderful time.
Suggestions: Arrive during day light. During the night it is very dark, the road can be difficult at first, and you can easily get lost because you will loose telephone service. If you travel during winter time, leave the bathroom door open so the heat of the cabin travels into bathroom. We left the bathroom door closed the first night, and walked into an ice cold bathroom! Taking a shower was a pain, even with the warm water, but then again, I’m from LA, where it doesn’t get below 60 degrees. Also, keep in mind that the cabin is about 25 minutes from downtown where all the action lies so if your looking to be close to restaurants, bars, and shopping, this may not be the place for you. Plan accordingly and bring groceries and needed items before going up the mountain.
