This is, of course, a famous and frequently-commented-upon property. It was slightly smaller than I expected, I think mostly because I had already seen so many photographs, but this was in no way a negative thing. The structure is built on such an eminently human scale that it "fits" perfectly no matter who you are. Immense charm in all the details: the bottle of "sheep treat" to make friends with, all the fixins for a nice breakfast so it's not essential that you go down the road for provisions right away, eggs from hens who become your temporary pets, the extremely enjoyable and diverse small selection of books, the very natural woodworking and minor acknowledgement that time marches on in the form of more than adequate places to charge things. A farmstand selling interesting jellies and jams, the ocean shore and a place selling fresh bread and big chunks of sockeye salmon are a short walk down a pretty road. Superb overall: tough, if not impossible to surpass in this Reporter's opinion.
