Wow. What a find! Candace and JS have built a pristine, simple yet elegant and perfectly appointed hideaway in the woods just minutes away from the start of the Juan de Fuca hiking trail. We wouldn't call it a cottage because that wouldn't do it justice! Their coffee table has a book of world class tiny houses and the reprint will have to include theirs! This is a candidate for a photo spread in Dwell magazine.
And talk about unwinding: nearest cell service is 30 minutes down the road.
Super comfortable bed, outdoor shower to die for, everything we needed for enjoying the breathtaking ocean and mountain scenery and coming back at the end of the day to cook a lovely meal.
And Candice is a super knowledgeable and kind host, whose hand made soap has there for us to enjoy (we long for the return of Jordan River Soapworks, which is on hiatus now while she pursues other adventures!)
Don't miss Cold Shoulder Cafe down the hill. Exceptional cappuccino (in a wry joke for the locals, their own coffee roast is called Tsunami), spectacular baked goods, and Patrice will insist on warming your panini even if you are taking it for later. Of course mention that you are staying at Candice and JS' and they all assure you that they are the nicest people on the hill!
We have done other AirBNB's before, but we have to say, this is the best yet! Thanks Candice and JS!
