My husband and I turned a trip to the west coast for a son's wedding into a min-vacation for us as well. Windows open for the cool night air and to listen to the pond's waterfall (right in front of the cottage porch). Complimentary bottle of wine provided by Mark (owner)! Dinner at Larrupin, about 10 min down the road, day trips out to walk among the redwoods and to get elk sightings....what's not to love. Mark has clearly put a lot of love and time into creating this oasis and I'm so glad I found it on VRBO. If we'd had kids in college nearby, this would have absolutely been our destination for graduation weekend. If I knew someone getting married nearby, this would be a sweet place for that kind of venue as well. Thanks Mark for a wonderful 2 night stay! We will be back if we're ever back in this part of the country!
