I spent about a month at the Malahut while the world was experiencing turbulent times. Upon arrival, I immediately felt a sense of serenity. The house is quietly tucked away on the side of a mountain, with every room overlooking the water. My partner and I operate a small business, and the idea was to balance our long working hours/high stress with the tranquility and peace of nature. Well..
Every morning I woke up to watch the sunrise over the beautiful Finlayson Arm. On clear days, you can catch the reflection of the moon on the water while taking in the stars. The house itself is open and bright. I enjoyed working from the kitchen table with the patio door open to a fresh breeze and the sounds of the hummingbirds coming and going throughout the day. The huge windows allowed for optimal nature watching. It sounds cheesy but I admit that I found inspiration in the imagery of the resident bald eagle soaring across the sky. In terms of practicality, the internet is amazingly fast and the cell service is on par with an intercity location.
In terms of amenities, Kurt's place has everything you need. If you aren't the domesticated type, there is a grocery service that will deliver everything you need to the front door. To be honest, I didn't leave the property once for the entirety of my stay. High quality appliances, fresh towels, and soft linens make you feel like you're coming home to visit your parents after years away. Creativity is inspired through the collection of the Harvard classics in the office, there is even a piano to keep your Beethoven (or Metallica) skills sharp.
This review doesn't even scratch the surface. Everything about this place is great. I had high hopes for my stay, but the Malahut far exceeded my expectations. Kurt and Bruce are great to boot!
