Don & Christine's studio was great! I'd definitely stay again. Nice and quiet, which is just what I was seeking for a short writing retreat.

Wonderful neighborhood with lots of hiking close by (though I didn't get out to do much, as I was mostly writing). There are also some nice walks right out the door, for example just walking up the road through the redwoods is a nice break from writing. Christine makes delicious banana bread as well, another benefit to this studio. If I make it back, hopefully it'll be on vacation time so that I can visit the many nearby parks and hiking trails.
