This is a beautiful cabin. It was a treat to return to each day after visiting some local sites (Potholes, Aylard Farm, China Beach, and yummy lattes at Metchosin). It's too bad that the outside space didn't offer more, but the inside space made up for it (and this was reflected in the price). I read a book from the upstairs bedroom (which did have a view). I loved little touches such as the turntable with surprisingly immaculate classic albums (many of which I owned back in the day). I felt pampered and oh so comfortable in the cabin. I only met John who was very nice and welcoming.
