A cozy cottage on beautiful, secluded grounds in the middle of the redwoods. Sipping coffee in the cool morning mist, we watched a flock of California quail pass through the garden. Nisene Marks State Park was convenient to access, and made for an excellent all-day excursion. After that, the piping hot, full-pressure shower and hot tub were a real treat. The tiny kitchen was all we needed to make a fresh dinner from the local farmer's market. I spent a surprising amount of time just taking in the poster collection. It was far more beautiful and interesting than I expected.
