#### Lovely Farmhouse Cottage
My husband and I (and our dog, Hondo) had a wonderful stay at the Farmhouse cottage. It was perfect for us and was full of lovely touches. The bed was very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The fenced yard was great for our dog and the grounds were beautiful. Our host, Marina, was kind and extremely helpful. We will definitely stay again.

#### What more can you ask for?
This is my second stay with Marina and was even better than the first since I stayed longer. Nice house in a great semi-rural setting with all the supplies you would need to keep house and cook in.

#### Beautiful, clean, quiet, amazing!
The property is just lovely, out in the country. The cottage is beautifully decorated. So nice to be able be able to stay at a place like this, and have our dog with us! She loved the fenced yard and open spaces to fetch her ball. We felt right at home, and will stay again if Marina would have us. She is delightful, a gracious host.

#### "Chip & Jojo-like" Farmhouse Cottage w/Charming Hospitality
Oh my stars this place is ADORBS!! Super clean, fresh, well appointed with loads of hospitality details! Property is owned by a realtor so she knows how to do this right! She is incredibly kind, flexible and hospitable. The mattress was so crazy comfortable I wanted to buy it from her! The bedding is new and plush! In the morning when you wake up and gaze out onto the most beautiful lush green mountainsides you will forget you are even near Southern California!! I would love to stay here every month but she is booking up months in advanced! The word is getting out about this little gem!!
