My husband and I really enjoyed the gracious hospitality of Marcia and Ray, loved the gorgeous cabin filled with beautiful work of local artists, the fabulous views, the idyllic setting away from the rat race! It was a pleasant surprise to find so many books, board games, and even a CD player/radio. The kitchen was fairly well-equipped, and we look forward to using the BBQ on the deck when we return in the summer. It was wonderful to wake up to the chirping of the birds and the soothing sounds of lambs, dogs, roosters and chickens every day to breathtaking views of the Salish Sea and the magical trees. The shower was very clean and had a generous water flow. The wood-burning fireplace with unlimited wood supply was a treat. It took us a day to get used to the steep stairs to the loft, but we never felt in danger of falling! It was lovely not to have wifi (but still phone service for emergencies and access to the internet using our own data plan - sparingly!). We will be sure not to bring too much with us next time because we had fewer drawers and storage space than we'd expected (but we also realized we'd packed way too much when we didn't know what kind of weather to expect!). If you are looking for a place to eat out every day, then this may not be the place for you -- unless you enjoy driving at least half an hour each way! We loved cooking simple meals, and we're looking forward to our next stay at Sparrow's Keep.
