A Dream Come True!!!

I absolutely LOVED the Oaks of Olivet. From start to finish, everything was fantastic. Michelle and Loren were SUPER-FRIENDLY and had everything perfectly set up for a lovely romantic getaway with my fiancée: check-in was a breeze; everything was clean; the cottage well-stocked with everything we needed (esp. privacy); and the owners gave us some GREAT recommendations for restaurants and wineries. Having visited Sonoma several times before, I really appreciated being a bit off the beaten path. I cooked quite a bit at the Oaks, and the KITCHEN was easy to work in, with great counter-space. The induction burner, electric fry pan / roaster, and four-burner gas grill more than made up for not having a full stove-top. I managed to pull off several recipes from a cookbook called Long Nights and Log Fires, and we ate wonderful food in front of the cozy fireplace!!! The VIEWS on the property were simply stunning, and the changes in light throughout the day make it seem like a different view every minute. My FAVORITE was the silhouette of the oaks in the fog. Breathtaking. The only regret I have is that I didn't take more pictures. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to go back!!!
