Hope to return soon
We had a wonderful week in this home despite rainy weather. Only an hour from our home and yet felt like we were far away - just what we wanted. Our 4 kids, ages 8-12, loved caring for the animals and collecting eggs to eat. We enjoyed easy access to great hikes, time at the beach and daily soaks in the hot tub. Owner was very helpful answering questions before and during our stay. We are looking forward to return visit.

Charming
The house had some unexpected perks such as the chickens and the bunny rabbits. My two boys (1.5 and 3.5) loved going out to the yard and looking at the chickens and baby chicks and the bunnies. Gail was very nice and always came out and let the boys hold the baby chicks and bunnies.

Rustic and relaxed, Fun with children
The description of this home is very close to the listing provided by the owner. The furniture is comfy and cozy, the home was clean but don't expect pristine - it is a home that is lived in and it is old as the listing mentions. Our family group included 2 children, ages 4 and 7. They loved the chickens and bunnies, and we all appreciated the freshly laid eggs for breakfast. The hot tub was very clean and a great location for relaxing. In the evenings we appreciated the large selection of games and DVDs.
You do have to drive to get anywhere as it is 2 miles from town, although it is a nice bike ride - two bikes are provided (although check the tires as we couldn't get one of them pumped up).
I would say there are two things of which to be aware:
If you are extremely allergic to cats there are two cats - they will stay outside if you keep the doors and windows closed.
There are other people who live on the property in separate quarters - we never even saw them but just saying.... The owner (very nice lady) did tell us this when we were checking in.

"Blissful Refuge"
"Blissful Refuge"
Gail's home is a blissful refuge in the countryside...the quiet and calm of rural living with farm -fresh eggs, hawks soaring overhead, plenty of space for kids to roam and explore...and only minutes from the very cool town of Half Moon Bay. It was a taste of the country life we long for , and a much needed respite from our life on the grid. The house itself is beautiful and comfortable ...a place to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea and let the hours pass unnoticed. Great medicine for the soul...for the entire family!

I had a great time staying at the Higgins Hideaway
The location was beautiful, the house was comfortable and enjoyable, and I was able to run a corporate event-planning retreat there without any issues. I would come back again, and recommend others to check this place out!

This place was amazing!
Bigger than anticipated, hot tub and BBQ, and chickens and a great garden to watch from a hammock in the sun. Gail was great, so were the neighbors for answering any extra questions. Would definitely stay again...

We Love Our Home Away from Home
Our family of four has stayed here many times over the years. It's such a comfortable spot--we love days spent in the hammock and watching the chickens and bunnies, and evenings by the fire. We totally unwind in this lovingly furnished home...cooking in the large kitchen is a pleasure...and relaxing in the hot tub with a view of the woods is a delight. The house is close to our favorite hiking spots and beaches. The feel of the house and the land make us feel like we're out in the country, and yet it is really so close to town. We have been staying here for a weekend or a week at a time for several years, we've spent many holidays and special family moments here, and we plan to continue for many years to come!
