Had everything we needed in a great location, really tidy, pleasant space. Kind and welcoming host. Appreciated the extra touches, like having salt, pepper, salad dressing and even fresh fruit on arrival. Only thing is I’d recommend for a shorter stay or if you’re planning to mostly eat out (which we did), as the kitchen is tiny.

What a fabulous location...

This is an amazing spot and a beautiful property to be your home away from home. It was nice and cosy for our family of 4 and we loved the proximity to the Redwoods. We will definitely be back 😊

Excellent spot.

Awesome place to stay; quiet yet in close proximity to Redwoods and town. Probably better suited to 4 rather than 5 people unless some are very small.
