COZY COZY COZY If you're visiting in the winter like we did, you want warmth and insulation. This place is not only insulated well, but also has a heat pump that warms the whole space in minutes! There's also an electric blanket that does the same, so you can crawl into a warm bed too. Not only is it cozy, but it's comfy! We spent a lot of time indoors and I'm so grateful that the couch was comfortable enough to spend all day in.
When we did go outside, we hiked up the next door reserve and found a beautiful lookout over the city. It's also a good walk to the shops, about 25 minutes, where you can get pizza, burgers, and fish & chips, as well as groceries.
Ginny and Jim were super friendly and welcoming. Not only did they stock our fridge with breakfast supplies, but also put the heater on so we'd be warm right when we walked in. We stayed 18 nights and would've extended it if someone didn't beat us to it! There's a good reason why they're so popular though; great space, great price, great people.
