The location of this house is excellent! It is half way between Henry Cowel State Park and Big Basin. The house has lots of windows that look out into the trees so it is really beautiful. There is a new deluxe hot tub with awesome jets and an outdoor shower in the trees which is really cool. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare food and it light and bright looking out into the front patio and trees. Joe and Ellen are respond very quickly to any inquiries which was very helpful. Depending on how much coffee you drink - the coffee pot is quite small so we made 2 rounds of coffee each morning - no big deal. The living room was my favorite spot to sit and look out into the trees on one of the two very comfortable recliner chairs. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and you do not hear or see any neighbors. You really feel that you are away from it all.
