Mel's place was beautiful and peaceful. We spent the long weekend there with our cat, making stews, roasting by the fire, and it was wonderful.
It's a gorgeous house, decorated well, with good internet, and the core kitchen staples. We took a few walks around the garden and creek and just loved the surroundings. When we weren't in the house we spent some time hiking and dining the islands many trails and restaurants.
Honestly, I cannot recommend highly enough.
