    Lovely, well cared for and very quiet property. We attended a wedding at Stonepine Estate which was about 2.5 miles away. Fully stocked kitchen including coffee and tea. Two nice sized carpeted bedrooms upstairs (one with a balcony) share a bathroom and one bedroom downstairs with access into the bathroom. We appreciated the night light in the bathroom. Private seating area in front and back yard. Loved all of the colorful tiles. Would definitely stay again.

    A comfortable and beautiful spot that feels like you are in the trees. The website design and photos are very accurate. The owner lives next door and is available if any problems arise (none did for us!). She left cheese, crackers, and fruit for us, perfect for happy hour on the back deck among the oak trees and birds. We will stay again.
