From the homemade blueberry scones we enjoyed in the mornings to the deer who would come for a backyard graze in the evenings, staying at the Tall House was a wonderful, enchanting experience. The house is delightfully rustic yet had all the amenities we could ask for, and is remote without feeling isolated. Stunning driftwood beach walks are just minutes away, the Poet's Cove resort is a short 20-minute walk/3-minute drive down the road and the house itself is full of wonderful touches, like Gloria's excellent library of local guidebooks and maps, condiments in the fridge we might not have thought to bring and a fantastic selection of games and books (which we didn't make use of, because the weather was fantastic.) Gloria is a gracious, thoughtful and responsive host who was quick to answer any questions. The only disappointing things about our stay were that it was only two nights, and we couldn't take any of Gloria's scones home with us!
