Our little family stayed 5 nights here for Spring Break. We needed to rest, and cut away from our routine. The cottage offers more than a comfortable dig! It is an oasis. We were able to enjoy as soon as we dropped our bags. It is well furnished, super clean (important to me), the kitchen is stocked with everything you need (including knifes that actually cut), beds were very comfortable, and there is ample space to unpack.
Every morning, we watched the sunrise, and marveled at the dew drops clinging onto the wild flowers. Deers, cottontails, and turkeys were fun to observe. We also enjoyed the company of Max the cat.
Our plan was to set out East to catch a glimpse of the spring blooms on Carrizo Plain. The drive is truly scenic at this time of year, and the blooms did not disappoint either.
Wine tasting was part of our trip, but we had to keep it interesting for our 6 year old. So we wandered and discovered Paso Robles, walked by the river, went to a museum/park, and investigated around the cottage.
Karrin and Clive had great pointers and recommendations for food too. Their directory was complete and did not miss a detail. We celebrated with a feast at BL Brasserie on our last evening, and were able to speak French with the staff.
Our heads a filled with memories. Thank you Karrin & Clive for your hospitality, and for sharing your wonderful space. We would love to come back.
