Cutest cabin! Quiet, peaceful...just perfect! I enjoyed the high-end cookware and excellently appointed kitchen! We cooked all the Thanksgiving sides. Beds sre super-comfy and decor is very well done. I browsed through a few of the decorating books available...games, too! Hoping to come back! Just lovely!

Forest Retreat
The house is in a wonderful location—you feel like you're in a forest. It's a small house, but there was plenty of room for the two of us. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the mornings with a book and some coffee. On the downside, the hot tub was a little dirty, and the cover was a real pain! We ended up only using it once. There is a nice little seating area with a gas fire pit, but we could not get it to light. The refrigerator ices up a bit, and there isn't any space to put dry groceries...very little counter space. Also, the parking is not great. The house is up a long, narrow road with a couple of small spaces to park.. Thankfully, the houses to the right and the left were vacant during our stay, which made maneuvering our cars possible. Plus, had there been neighbors, I don't think there would have been parking for us and them. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would probably rent it again, but we would only bring one car, the smaller one. We drove up separately because we were coming on different days.

Tree house cabin experience
Although it was raining during our stay, looking out the windows at the mossy trees was magical. The temp of the cabin when we checked in was a freezing 50 degrees! It would have been nice for it to be somewhat warmer. Having said that, the place warmed up super fast and stayed warm. We cooked almost all our meals at the cabin so we would have liked a few more pans. The place was very clean with an abundance of clean towels, pillows and blankets. The deck is lovely and would be great to spend time on during warm summer evenings. Overall we loved our stay and I would recommend this place for a short getaway. Great location with respect to wineries, Amstrong Woods, Jenner, Bodega Bay, etc
