My adult daughter and I, and my two Pomeranians, just enjoyed three relaxing days at the lovely Lavender House. The host provided excellent directions, making the property easy to find - very easy freeway access to and from. This quaint cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and the beds extremely comfortable. Sleeping with all the windows open to the song of crickets - divine! When we did manage to pry ourselves off the porch, we found our trips to the redwoods and the beach to be quick and easy. But you may decide to just stay on the porch all day, enjoying your coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon, taking in the view and watching the horseback riding action in the arena. Meal prep and cleanup was a breeze in the very efficient kitchen area. The pups got their own welcome basket, and loved strolling around taking in all the farm animal scents and meeting the very friendly local dogs and cats. A lovely time - would definitely book again.
