This was our 4th trip in 5 weeks. Needless to say, we were exhausted from the flying and driving and being with a lot of people. The cottage afforded us the relaxation that we needed. We spent a lot of time in the porch admiring the redwoods and simply enjoying nature. Communication with Jay was outstanding. He called the day that we were supposed to arrive to answer any questions that we may have and even told us that we could check in early since the cottage was ready. He lives in the property but afforded us our privacy. Overall a great stay in this cottage and would go back in the future.
