The cottage is set in a lush green space, surrounded by giant redwood trees with a deck which affords a wonderful view of the valley down below. We enjoyed having our breakfasts out by the deck . The cottage is comfortable and cozy and one cannot help but curl down with a book next to the heater. The hot tub and its location is an added plus.Mary Jane was a wonderful host and was quick with her responses. We had a small problem with the gas heater and her husband Martin came over promptly to help us out. All in all we had a great stay and enjoyed the greenery and quiet this cottage affords.
