I absolutely fell in love with this darling little cottage in the most peaceful setting on earth! The restoration was thoughtful, immaculate, and period accurate, which is not to say any modern comfort or need was missing. The surrounding nature is the second half of this heavon-on-earth spot - a wealth of birds to watch and listen to, both songbirds and raptors, chipmunks will keep you entertained, and I even watched a river otter play about 20 feet away while I sat down on the dock at sunset. You feel isolated, but a town on the coast is just 15 minutes away for any shopping and such, and of course the host is nearby and extremely responsive, though gave me complete privacy and solitude. If you are screaming "Serenity now!" in your head, book this cottage!! A treasure. Can't wait to come back and have already recommended it to friends.
