I thought my expectations might have been too high after reading so many glowing reviews, but the cob house was everything we hoped it would be and Alexis added so many beautiful and thoughtful touches to the already cozy, unique abode. Every time we needed anything (book, hammock, corkscrew, warm blanket) We found it there, yet the place was not cluttered or cramped at all. We enjoyed hiking around the island, eating at the bistro, cooking, lazing about, chatting with Alexis and the toddlers, feeding the chickens, and just being in such an active yet peaceful environment. I would recommend staying here at least a week, in order to catch the various shops and eateries on the days they are open- things tended to have more limited hours/days of operation than in bigger towns. My biggest regret was that the weather was too warm and sunny to warrant us using the wood.
