This was the most mindful, peaceful space I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. The silence in the hale is breathtaking, you can feel your body melt just slightly as you walk in. Heather took me on a small tour of her productive 2 acre fruit farm, piling up fruit from the tree into my arms within about ten minutes of us getting there. The mango. Goodness me. The mango is a carnal experience.
The hale itself is full of tiny connections and attention to detail - local whole bean coffee, super comfy down blankets, a perfect little hammock, AND 40% DEET bugspray! That saved our lives. This has been a really wet summer and the mosquitos are voracious. Spray early and often.
In case you couldn’t tell from the pictures, there are no walls at all downstairs separating you from the outdoors. Farm cats, talkative chickens, hilarious geckos, and one particularly beautiful moth the size of a hummingbird all passed through during our stay. It was delightful.
