******************************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: Pets, parties, and other info:
There are outdoor stairs to climb between the 3 floors! If you aren't comfortable climbing stairs this isn't the place for you.
Visiting this property is a very unique experience, some describe it as “glamorous camping”. NO CANDLES, SAGE, INCENSE, or other BURN MATERIALS, we are in a FIRE ZONE. No photoshoots or parties allowed without prior arrangement. Dogs are allowed for a $18 fee per night, per pet. Cats are NOT permitted for their own safety and allergy restrictions. Dogs are not permitted to be left unattended during your stay. If it causes a disturbance, a $25 fine will be implemented.
The Dragonfly House is the newest and most refined of our places. However, this is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these cottages are hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your party will faint if they see a bug or lizard, mouse or little frog inside, some dust or a spider web - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional.
Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - WIFI - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are different from hotel.
There is a brochure with instructions as well as recommended local restaurants and attractions.

This is a wonderful spot to stay! It’s beautiful and comfortable and the location feels like a haven of nature near the bustle of the beach and big city.
A really comfortable bed, a unique, three level home tucked in the mountains, five minutes from some great stores and restaurants, 10 minutes from the beach. Who could ask for anything better than this?
