Jake and Michelle’s place is gorgeous and I honestly wish we spent more time at the home itself (we had a relatively full agenda). To note, it was hot in Boulder Creek (~95 F) during our stay, but the house maintained a great temperature with the downstairs feeling like it had AC the whole time. Upstairs does get a bit warmer but it didn’t feel uncomfortable especially with all of the windows/fans. We were also mindful of opening all windows upstairs/downstairs in the early morning and then locking up before the heat (this was a treat as you really draw in the mountain crisp air). The house has great features that make it comfortable, including the downstairs bathroom and big master room. Furthermore, they have a gate that is thoughtfully placed in front of the stairs and easy to lock in place (it is optional to set up, but helped us out with our two toddlers). Overall, I didn’t have to contact Jake much because the stay took care of itself, but he was very prompt, helpful, and understanding. I would honestly love to stay here again if I ever have plans in the area. After all, I didn’t quite get to enjoy a calm early morning coffee under the redwoods (kids lol), perhaps next time.
