If you're looking for a place to recharge your soul, hear the breeze in the trees, see the stars or hike by moonlight, Hummingbird House is it. If you're looking for a party place, within walking distance to bars, stores or the beach, this place is definitely not it.
My 16 year old daughter and I recently stayed several nights at Hummingbird House and enjoyed quiet restful nights, peaceful hikes along the one-lane roads and impromptu visits by the resident husky.
Rose was a wonderful host, quick to respond to my many inquiries beforehand, on site during our stay, but fairly out of sight. There were 5 or 6 other cars during our time there, but we only saw 2 couples, just briefly.
Our cottage was perfect for a two. One bedroom with comfortable king-sized bed, beautiful view out the picture window and a door to the small terrace out back. We sat out there late at night to look at stars and listen to the raptors.
Towels, shampoo and conditioner were provided.
Well-appointed kitchen, including a lovely set of handmade plates and mugs. Drinking water is provided, as the well water from the tap may not be your preference.
One caveat: the drive up from the main road off highway 1 is not for scaredy cats or showoffs. You must drive slowly, on these one-lane, unpaved roads, with lots of blind turns and switchbacks. But once you arrive, any stress or worry fades away.
Looking forward to bringing my husband next time!
