We absolutely loved this place. Everything was set up perfectly, the hosts didn't miss a thing. We felt at home and comfortable from the minute we walked in the door. There is nothing quite like reading a John Steinbeck book (To a God Unknown) while sitting in a reading chair in a cottage he once owned. The connection to history and to the author was worth the price of admission on it's own. It's far more than that though, this place has a charm and a character all it's own. Classic American authors memories are just icing on the historical cake!

The location in Pacific Grove worked just fine for us. It's right up the big ol' hill from Cannery Row, the Aquarium, and Fisherman's Wharf. It is also close to the start of 17 Mile Drive, which winds you along the coastline up to Carmel. Just as easily, you can head up (down?) Highway 1 to Big Sur. Basically, this place is central to the regions best attractions.

We'll be back!
