And the long coastline is perfect for road trips. Venture through nature, discover the beautiful lights emitted by the many lighthouses in the state and set camp under the watchful eyes of a million stars. Hike through the mountains in South Lake Tahoe or the many nature reserves in California.

They we were very good about providing information
He "rescued" Otter nearly immediately and made sure he found his way home
They corrected a minor issue from the first trip replacing a falling apart BBQ grill with a nice new version
so when we were out and about the home had to be completely shut up and got quite hot (even in mid-September )
I was really impressed with the service
Location:
The property has a great location
Everything is within walking distance:
A Tiny House is in a very quiet and well manicured neighborhood
Six minute walk to Lovers Point
The glasses provided are serviceable but not great if you are any kind of wine geek
