Honeymoon in quiet nature
This was our delayed honeymoon and one year of marriage celebration. We wanted a quiet time surrounded by nature; away from mechanical noises. This cottage was the best we found! Particularly it was very close to where I was a speaker at a weekend natural building conference. We delighted when we arrived to find bunnies playing unafraid in the yard. Later a porcupine visited us, along with numerous birds. The old fruit and nut trees were just opening their buds. Spring arriving gloriously. The ocean view was lovely and we enjoyed walks down to the ocean. The host responded quickly, favorably, and generously to our every need and request. We left feeling a good rapport with him. His suggestions for places to experience nature were excellent, including one that allowed us a little known access to a beach and trail. We were just before the parks and beaches opened for the season, so we were delighted to have so many beaches all to ourselves! The cottage was rustic with modern kitchen and bath that made our week's cooking joyful. The loft ladder was too steep for us at 70 and 74 to sleep in, particularly for night time access to the bathroom which seniors need. But younger folks would find the loft enchanting. Good that there was a separate bedroom downstairs. We both relaxed more and more each day. My wife and I very much recommend this retreat! We hope to come again.
