If the Venn diagram of luxurious/rustic/weird/wildlife sounds appealing to you, this is your spot. Unbelievable wildlife viewing from the deck/yard (seals, otters, herons, owls, eagles, vultures, bunnies, deer, kingfishers, and on and on), gorgeous sunsets on the deck, waking up to a harbor view. The kitchen is indeed basic, and the doors don't lock. The composting toilet works well and we were able to get our AWD little car down/up the hill. We would definitely stay here again.
