It might not actually be a cottage, but it feels like it when you walk inside. Roomy, clean, well appointed and decorated. We were on a business trip in Tulare as exhibitors at the AG show so we were exhausted at the end of the day and the jacuzzi was good (it would have been great if it hadn’t been so cold outside…oh well, it is Feb after all!) The owner even left a bottle of wine and sweets in the kitchen which was a very nice touch. Beds suited us well and the heating system was great. The only thing I would suggest is a more comfortable couch and more seating for more than 2 guests and the DuraFlame logs are overwhelming for sensitive guests. We discovered after lighting one the first night that they are very smelly with a chemical smell and so we didn’t use them the rest of our stay. It would be really nice to have a gas fireplace in a perfect world..:) We highly recommend this house especially if you want a quiet country place to come back to after visiting the Parks or whatever you are up to in the area. The goats are very friendly too! Also, we really appreciated the signage out front directing down the correct driveway when we came in at night! Great job Vivian, and thanks for being immediately available to us each time we had questions, even late at night! You’re awesome!
