A Living Art Gallery

Submitted: August 12, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
When we entered the house, we couldn't believe how lovely it was- more than we anticipated. You have a living art gallery right out your windows, which is always changing and always breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay immensely, even my teenage sons. We wish we had more time to relax and explore the area.

Excellent Place to Stay!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 25, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in this home! The interior is light, spacious, and tastefully done. It's even better than the photos and description. Immediately upon arrival, we felt right at home. The views are spectacular. One morning we saw a bald eagle fly right in front of the windows at least a dozen times. It was such a quiet and relaxing environment. Our children loved it as well, and it's a great location - not too far from some fun things to do, and interesting places to visit. We highly recommend this home as a place to stay, and definitely plan on going back. Thank you for opening your home to us. We had a marvelous time!

Beautiful Everything

Submitted: September 26, 2011 Stayed: September 2011
We stayed in this beautiful cottage for 5 nights. There are so many beautiful sights to see in this area and we did our best to see them all. And the seafood would be a whole other review!!! It was wonderful to come home every evening to this beautiful place. The views are fantastic. We would sit for hours just looking out the windows at the wildlife. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful place!!
