Cozy little place with welcoming staff and very friendly cats! Much nicer than we were expecting, given the great location yet extremely reasonable price. Only issue we had was a slow-draining shower.

DVD's are available at the front office. Sheep on the farm were so cute to watch in the mornings. The neighboring cats Turtles (indoor) and Stella (outdoor) were adorable. Housekeeping was great. Valentine decorations were cute outside. Additionally, I had fun playing the horse shoe game and on the swings one afternoon right on the yard. Plenty of nearby local food stops and pretty areas to stop by other than the beautiful national parks! Overall, it was one of the best stays me and my partner had in Cali. Thank you!
