Spectacular setting
Mary is a lovely host - responsive and gracious - and her property is magical. The views are spectacular, and the house is comfortable, clean and abundantly cozy. Its location makes for unparalleled privacy. To reach this Shangri-la be prepared for a miles-long drive on a narrow, winding, mountain road full of sharp switchbacks. The destination is worth any white-knuckle moments; tranquility abounds. This remote retreat is ideally situated for those who don't desire nighttime excursions to town or beyond. The kitchen is well-equipped and the outdoor dining space is gorgeous, so no need to dine out if you shop in advance. One detail to be aware of in chilly months: Space heaters are the heat source for the two rooms attached to the main house, and they cannot be kept on overnight. It wasn't an issue for us; after heating the room prior to bedtime, we were perfectly comfortable in mid-January temps. We would recommend that the binder of house instructions be updated; it contained information that was inaccurate (including wi-fi details). Our stay was short and regretfully we didn't have time to explore this stunning 20-acre property. Would love to return in warmer months to bask in the serenity and to take advantage of the lovely pool.

Beautiful Location
Everything was very nice, except for the pool. It wans't heated. We were disapointed since the pool was the mail attraction, and the reason we picked that house over other houses. And the email questions were not answered.

Amazing views
Stayed here for our 10 year anniversary with our 2 dogs. The outdoor space was absolutely amazing. The dogs enjoyed exploring the yard every day. Yard is fenced so the dogs had the freedom to roam around and still be near by. Saw lots of birds, squirrels and deer from the property. Weather was great for sun bathing and swimming. Would stay here again and would recommend for anyone traveling with dogs.

Nice property
The property is nice and comfortable. We enjoyed pool and hot tub. The carpet is stained could use cleaning. The road driving up is very curvy and a little scary at times. Overall, we were satisfied.

The property was serene and secluded. The Native American decor with a splash of other ethnic touches and bohemian fixtures was well-appointed. Our family enjoyed walking to the property line that we could manage on foot. Our dogs appreciated the daily visit of the wild turkeys and explored all parts of the fenced-in areas. The pool was utilized on-the-daily by the children and when inside they played board games; I rarely had to entertain them...it was excellent! That apartment was the perfect separation from the kid chatter. We practically used every utensil creating dishes and enjoying smores from the fire. There was a minor technical difficulty with the front security gate, but Mary was as responsive as she could be for a holiday week. We would totally consider this property again.

Peaceful and pretty remote
The property is beautiful and the views are incredible. Mountains, valleys, oak trees, sky, and birds. The house is a bit mixed between rustic and bohemian but it is super clean and has all the modern amenities. It's pretty "out there". The road to the property (as described) is winding. I don't know if I'd use it as a jump off point for Monterey and surrounding attractions. However, if you are looking for peace, quiet, and relative privacy....this is a pretty amazing spot.

Lovely spot for our family gathering!
This house is really quite beautiful, tastefully decorated and so comfortable. We had 7 people and all felt at home. The kitchen was well supplied so we could just hang out and cook and even had all we needed to do some baking. Can’t beat the hot tub and deck under the starry skies and the view of the tree covered hills beyond. Mary was very responsive with any questions we had. Highly recommended!
