We had a most wonderful time at Karen's. Her house accommodated our large group like no other place we've been to. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, the central island is perfect. The deck is truly amazing: we gazed at the view for hours! The house is very well stocked, you'll be able to find anything you could possibly need for cooking and there are lots of towels. Boulder Creek itself is sweet place to visit and has an amazing grocery store.
