The more rural setting was exactly what we were looking for. Each morning we drank coffee on the front porch and watched the fog rise out of the valleys around us. Short drives to local restaurants and trailheads. There were LOTS of informative pamphlets and menus to local restaurants at the house. If you are looking for a true getaway, this is it.
