Jay's home was so magical. I couldn't imagine anything more truly Californian (and if you hope I mean glamour, hollywood or marble floors, look elsewhere). It was possibly the most peaceful place I've ever stayed the night, and definitely one of the most wonderful. Jay couldn't be a better host - he built this house and filled it with incredible, historic posters of all the concerts he's been too over the years like the Grateful Dead. We sat in the hot tub, redwoods above us and tealights around us listening to music and later my then-boyfriend-now-husband played the piano. It was just magical. I took a little while to leave the review because the romance truly rubbed off on us - later that day after we left, my boyfriend proposed, and we eloped a week later to Big Sur! (results may vary)
Thank you, Sabers, for your hospitality and sharing this heavenly spot with us.
