Other things to note
About the Space
Fully rebuilt in 2018, this thoughtfully updated cottage features energy-efficient radiant floor heating — a cozy and eco-friendly alternative to traditional systems. For warmer days, the living room is equipped with air conditioning, and additional fans or space heaters are available to ensure your comfort year-round.
Based on California building code, we are required to have a humidity sensor in the bathroom. The bathroom fan is controlled by a humidity sensor, so it automatically turns on whenever the moisture level goes above 50%. It’s designed to run on its own and can’t be manually turned off.

The Property
Set on a peaceful, multi-acre property, the cottage shares the land with a beekeeping apiary located on the lower acreage. From time to time, you may see gardeners working around the grounds.

The host lives in a separate home on the property and is nearby if you need anything during your stay.

Need more space? Ask about The Bunkhouse —our additional listing located on the lower level of the property with lovely views. It can be booked along with The Cottage (based on availability) and comfortably sleeps up to 8 more guests, making it ideal for larger groups or families traveling together

ORGANIC
We are proud to maintain an organic property and do not use harmful pesticides, either inside or outside. This helps protect the surrounding environment and contributes to a healthier stay for our guests.
