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.

House Rules & Guidelines

A friendly reminder—The Cottage is set up to accommodate a maximum of 4 guests.
** No parties, gatherings, or unregistered guests.

Please enjoy the cottage and deck, but remain within your designated area. Other folks live on the property, and we kindly ask that you respect their privacy.

Parking & Access
Street parking is typically available and convenient, with two reserved spots in front of the cottage. Occasionally, members of the public may overlook the signage — if that happens, no worries. Additional parking is always available down the gravel drive near the lower-level barn.
You’re welcome to temporarily park directly in front of the cottage gate to unload, especially if arriving late or if the designated spots are taken. We just ask that vehicles not remain there for the duration of your stay. With multiple parking options, you’ll always find a spot with ease.
