The Gonnella family made us feel like like long lost friends from the moment we checked in. The bungalow was perfect size for the two of us,... More

We stayed at the "Trees" for a much needed getaway. The house and grounds are just awesome! The house is tucked away in a private setting surrounded by redwoods, yet close to town.
