My daughter (17) and I stayed at the cabin for two nights for a little get away! The cabin is tiny and cute. There wouldn’t be enough room in the loft for both of us to sleep (I am 5’9 and like to stretch out) so my daughter slept up there and I slept on the futon. According to her the loft was comfortable and the sheets, pillows and duvet were great. She slept with the window open so Fig (the cat) could sleep with her and she sure did! The futon is more on the uncomfortable side, so if you know you will be sleeping on it and have room maybe toss a mattress topper in the car!
The fire ban was on so we brought a propane camp fire! Best decision. Nothing better than having a camp fire to sit and talk around. There are two outdoor chairs that are on the deck! We just moved them over to the fire.
The cabin is well equipped with a fridge, propane stove and oven (we even cooked lasagna). There is only a wok for a frying pan (that we could find) so we just made pancakes one at a time adding to the adventure. There is a tea pot and a Moka Pot for coffee. If you don’t know how to use one and need your coffee in the morning google it before you get there! There is none to very spotty cell service. It does take a little getting used to how quite it is there!
The outhouse is just that... an outhouse! I had made an essential oil bug spray and we found one spray in the outhouse and we could do our business without all the bugs flying around! It was very clean and obviously “cared for”.
The outdoor shower is GREAT! I think we both showered twice a day! The shower (and kitchen sink) do drain about 15 ft from the cabin so if you are environmentally thoughtful I would suggest environmentally friendly soap/shampoo etc! There was dish soap already in the cabin but no hand soap for washing up! Luckily we had a small bar from past travels!
There were towels and extra sheets on the shelves!
There is a great marked trail from the cabin to pebble beach. It took us about 25 minutes but we were walking slowly and taking it all in. The tide was out so we spent hours just checking out the tidal pools. (Never too old right!?)
In the evening we went down to the Montague Provincial Park and spent a long time at the beach by the boat launch! So beautiful and warm!
We had a fabulous time and already talking about another “unplugged” mother daughter trip!
