Terrific location with superior amenities
We stayed in this wonderful farmhouse for two nights. Owner provides an incredibly well-stocked kitchen and the place is clean, comfortable, and very quiet. Only minor downside was the inability to get a cell (AT&T) signal, but the owner leaves word that using her land line for long-distance calls is just fine! She also invited us to use washer-dryer in garage, which was a very welcome bonus, as we'd been on the road for more than a week and running low on clean clothing. Proximity of trails into redwood forest is amazing (we hiked the Berry Glen trail to Lady Bird Johnson Grove--well, we ALMOST made it all the way; climb is 1,200 ft, not the stated 500, and it's a fairly strenuous switchback climb, so we ended up coming back down after about 2 hours out. We later drove into the grove, where we hiked that easy 1-mile trail), and don't miss the drive through the deep forest to Gold Bluffs Beach; we passed a mother and baby elk on their way to the open pasture on Davidson Rd, at the start of this amazing road. Thanks, Carole, for putting us up in style!
