This is a spectacular hidden gem, cozy and comfortable and with all the amenities anyone could need. We made a last-minute reservation for Mother’s Day and Megan was very accommodating and communicated promptly. Best Mother’s Day ever! Even more so, as I got to bake and the kitchen here is lovely — with modern and stylish appliances that are top-of-the-line — but with a fun, funky retro feel for the adorable refrigerator. Oven and stovetop were amazing! (I’ve not had a working kitchen in some time at home and we are in desperate need of a remodel — so being able to bake was a big treat for me!)
The bed was ridiculously comfortable — seriously one of the most comfy bed I’ve ever slept on. There is a nice hide-away bed in the couch that my two kiddos slept on. They loved the super-cute gift socks and were tickled pink with that and the other amenities, books and games. There’s an awesome little picnic area in the back that we hadn’t even noticed ‘till we were leaving (but hope to use when we hopefully stay again during our kitchen remodel!). All in all — it was a charming and uplifting experience. My only complaint was that the knives were a bit dull and I couldn’t find a measuring spoon when making cookies — but we improvised by making a fun math game of trying to find out how many teaspoons and tablespoons were in other kitchen spoons or tiny containers we could find — eventually working out a conversion for a small 1/3 teaspoon and tablespoon measure. The cookies turned out perfectly and I got to teach my kiddos some math. Win-win! (Next time I stay — I’m going to gift the place with a spare set of measuring spoons though! Though it does occur to me that maybe I just couldn’t find the measuring spoons...). I did have to bring my own baking tray — but the kitchen has more than enough cups, bowls, plates, silverware, pots, pans, cooking utensils, measuring cups and other niceties like plastic wrap, foil, paper plates and bowls and even cookbooks!) I would count this as a fully stocked kitchen really — aside from my not being able to find the measuring spoons. At other places where we stayed — I had to bring a LOT in order to cook a decent meal. But here — it has almost everything you need really and then some!
The bathroom was well stocked and very clean with a very nice shower and fluffy towels.
The place feels very cozy and comfortable — like a cute and cozy grandma’s place — friendly and inviting and in a beautiful setting, not far from local redwood parks and plenty to explore.
This is a charming and hidden gem! Our family enjoyed our stay very much!
