Chris & Gill's place is short drive from Kemare, so the location is great for exploring the town and the nerby gorgeous peninsulas. But make no mistake, this place is also a destination. The drive down the lane may take a small amount if bravery, but it will take your breath away (and Chris, the dear man, will guide you every step of the way).
It's obvious that much love has gone into the big and small details of this place. The bathroom is spacious with a heated towel rack (luxury! ), and the window facing the main house is a stained glass window, allowing for light, privacy, and the celebration of art.
The kitchen has every appliance and utensil needed, is spacious, and has a washing machine (hello extended stay!).
The living room is both cozy and manly, with leather furniture and a stove for building fires. There is also a tv (the morning news and weather) and book shelves stocked with wonderfully diverse authors. The sliding glass doors allow for a view to the mountains, trees, the giant hare hopping through the yard, and the inviting walking paths that this lovely couple has created.
But my favorite part is climbing up the spiral staircase and entering the bedroom sanctuary. Once again, it's apparent that much thought and love went into the creation if this space. It beckons you to bare your soul, to find peace. Our first night there I made a cup of tea, carried it upstairs, snuggled down into a beanbag, and watched the full moon play hide and seek with the clouds. In the morning I took my tea upstairs and watched the bats flit about.
Chris and Gill are also fabulous musicians. If you have the chance, go see them play. The music is so sweet you will just have to close your eyes and let go.
These hosts radiate kindess and joy. Our best AirBnb experience so far (and that is high praise to be sure). Book yourself an extra day if possible so you can enjoy the place and people even more. :)
