I’m reading a book about the ancient Japanese ritual of forest bathing. Spending time in the woods scientifically lowers blood pressure and cortisol. I was very glad to know these things when I checked into Kari’s place in the perfect mountain town of Boulder Creek. Staying in this wonderful historic home was the hi-light of my trip. I loved the thoughtful touches like fresh eggs from her chickens, fruit, chocolate, and coffee. Kari was courteous of my privacy, yet responded promptly to any questions I had. I loved taking a luxurious bath in the bathtub and appreciated the heating pad underneath the sheets on the comfy bed. If you like mountain towns and nature, you’ll love Kari’s spot!
