This cabin was in a great location! Very cute and beautiful view. It is so quiet and peaceful. At night we got to hear great horned owls calling each other and it was so amazing! It is up some windy roads, so if you get car sick, take some nausea meds ahead of time just in case. The cabin itself is kind of small but so cute. It was perfect for my family-of-four & two dogs.The deck has a great view. There is no dish washer, which we didn't realize before hand, and being required to wash all dishes before you leave is a little time consuming to do all by hand, so just keep that in mind. We did run into some problems though- propane grill would not turn on (couldn't grill any of the steaks we bought), power goes out often due to PG&E, a bug, and some hairs on the towel which I go into further detail about below. All in all, it still was a nice place in a great location! And is dog friendly! :)
When we arrived, we ran into the power being out for the first hour, and after talking to the neighbors we found out this is a weekly occurrence with PG&E in the Felton/Lompico area. We would've liked a heads up that the power may or may not be off periodically each day. The neighbors said it usually happens 3-4 times a week, lasting at least a few hours each time. Three next door neighbors all had generators running when we showed up, so looking into getting an automatic generator for the cabin would be really ideal. That way guests are not without power for hours, or throughout the night (which neighbors said does happen) and won't have to worry about trying to turn it on, or being in the pitch black dark all night!
Also, I found a bug (looked to be some sort of tick) on my pillow in the smaller bedroom. It was alive and crawling across the pillow as I was laying down (ew, I know lol). We were able to grab it and flush it down the toilet, but it was very unsettling, to say the least. Also, we found multiple long black hairs on our white shower towels. And when going to dry my face, being greeted with two long black hairs on my clean towel was also very unsettling, to say the least.
Those were the only main things as a guest that were bothersome. I did notice the comforters didn't smell freshly washed or very clean (a little musty) and I assume only the sheets are washed after each guest, not the over throw blankets. Nothing too major, but I suggest making sure all blankets and pillows on the bed are washed after each guest if possible. Other than that, the living room/bathroom/and kitchen were very clean. And this place truly is in a great location!
