This is a truly wonderful property. Just close enough to town that you can run to the store or a restaurant, but remote enough to feel like you're miles from civilization. The home itself is lovely--nicely furnished, a well-equipped kitchen, fantastic wifi, and a huge smart TV downstairs. Easy check-in, and the lovely owners reached out in the middle of our stay just to check on us and see how things were going. Very thoughtful!
But the best part of the house, hands down? That screen porch, with views for days. DAYS. We probably spent at least a couple of hours out there every single day, from watching the light come up and the fog burn off in the mornings to the dying of the light as the sun dipped behind the western mountains in the evening. Spectacular sunsets, and it was fun to watch the bats come out for their evening meal. I probably took 100+ photos from that porch in the time we were there, each one better than the last.
A word about the road: please, please don't dismiss the owners' advice about having at least all-wheel drive, and ideally four-wheel drive, if you're thinking about renting here. After you leave the paved road, it's about 2.5 miles of gravel (mostly), very narrow, winding, and steep. A beautiful drive, to be sure, but not for a sedan or (heaven forbid!) low-slung sports car.
We would definitely rent here again. Can't recommend it highly enough!
