From the golden hour sun setting over the nearby hills to the sound of the Uvas Creek bouncing through open windows, the location of the cottage was the perfect mix of home office during the week and remote retreat on nights and weekends. It's just far enough from everything that you have a distinct sense of privacy, but close enough that the 8:30 pm Sunday evening craving for frozen yogurt could still be quenched by the time the nearest shop closed at 9:00 pm.
