Rural experience. The historic cottage reminded me of some of the cottages that I stayed at as a child. Not fancy but super friendly. We were greeted with a vase full of flowers and left with a bag full of freshly picked fruit. This 20 acre plot is an active woodworkers yard. This did NOT affect any noise or dust while we were there but you should be aware of it. The owners went out of their way to make us comfortable. There are lots of trails down to the coastal overlook through a working cattle ranch ending in a wonderful view. We were lucky enough to see humpback whales cavorting just a few hundred yards from the cliff.
Hap and Mely were the most friendly hosts we have encountered. When I mentioned an ethnic dish to Mely that I hadn't eaten in 40 years, she invited us up to their home the next day for dinner and presented it to us along with other dishes and wonderful fresh fruit from their garden. We washed that down with some Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Wonderful people!
This area was one of our favorites as we spent time around the Island. I would recommend this to anyone wanting an authentic, rural, ranch style experience.
