I rented this cottage for my 80-year old parents who came from the Netherlands for three weeks because it was close enough to where I live that they could walk over for breakfast. Instead, I spent more time with them at the farm because they enjoyed so much the natural setting and the sunny gardens. The vegetable garden was full of things to pick and eat, and of course the fresh eggs! My parents are great hikers and nature lovers, so they could sit for hours overlooking the orchard commenting on the birds and butterflies. It was the perfect stay for them, for us so much better than trying to crowd them on a futon in the living room of my small apartment. Also, it was so close to great hikes in West Marin and Sonoma. Most of all, knowing they were safe and comfortable (and that someone was looking after them a bit) made me more relaxed to truly enjoy their long visit.
