We had such a wonderful stay at Howard's place, and enjoyed getting away to a peaceful mountain retreat, relaxing and warming up by the fire. Ed was welcoming, responsive, and wonderfully helpful, providing firewood and showing us how to operate the wood burning stove. The place itself was clean and minimalist, perfect for our stay. The surrounding property was a joy to explore, with beautiful gardens and a quiet little pond, which was a serene sight at sunset. This really was a great retreat, in addition to being a base camp for exploring the coast. Thanks Howard and Ed!
