Brenda's place is absolutely fantastic. The drive into the forest can feel a bit intimidating if you're doing it for the first time at night, but Brenda's directions are impeccable (do yourself a huge favour and follow her directions and NOT Google Maps. Google Maps will kinda/sorta get you there but you will have the most horrendous experience) and made it so easy to get to her place. Cheerful lights lined the gate and made it easy to spot the entrance to her acreage.
The cabin is sparkling clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. The photos of the place don't quite do it justice, it's more wonderful in person. Brenda is so SO hospitable and it was great spending time with her and chatting with her. She and her partner offered to share their dinner with us when we arrived and it was such a nice and thoughtful thing. They had loads of tips for us about what we should do and great things to check out (she suggested a farmer's market that we loved and spent a few hours at!).
The kitchen is great and Brenda is gracious about sharing so many things with us. It was such a great experience living in a solar powered place with catchment for water (you won't have any issues, trust me). With the forest sounds to lull us to sleep (keep a couple windows open to stay nice and cool!), we loved our stay there and would have stayed longer if we could!
Thank you so much Brenda! <3
