The Fig Tree Cabin is like a safe, secluded hideaway... except that it’s right in the middle of everything! When you’re there, it feels like you’re tucked away in a private “Fantasy Garden” but as soon as you walk out to the street, you are suddenly transported to a lovely, lively neighborhood, just minutes from downtown. You’re within walking distance from everything you could possibly need and within short driving distance from just about everything else. Of course, that’s IF you decide to leave the cabin....
I spent so much of my time “floating” in one of the hammock swings, relaxing in the hot tub, soaking in the claw foot tub, and luxuriating under the outdoor shower, it was hard to want to leave and go anywhere else. I was expecting to spend more time in the sauna but couldn’t pull myself away from everything else.
Everything in the cabin was clean, well-organized, and the space was utilized well for max storage space, with a very open feeling. The bed has a really soft and comfortable topper that I just melted right into every night. The kitchen was stocked with cookware and some standard spices, coffee, and tea. And the bathroom shower had excellent water pressure.
Back outside, the treehouse was an absolute delight! So many things to do up there and lots of places to sit and relax. It’s also the best place to get the most sun during the day, and at night the colorful lights create a fun and whimsical atmosphere. The tree house is also really well-built, so it feels structurally safe.
WiFi signal was great both inside the cabin and out.
If, like me, you’re coming from an area with fewer restaurants and a less diverse food scene, you will LOVE the overwhelming selection of places that are so close, offering foods from all over the world. And the pastries and cakes at any one of the many bakeries in town are exquisite! It’s easy to get to any of these places and even easier to have it all delivered.
Lastly - and by no means, least - David was a spectacular host! He gave my friend and I all the privacy we needed, even though he lives in the very large house (which I’ve heard he often rents out, as well) on the other side of the fig tree garden area. He was quick to respond each time I reached out, and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was truly amazing. I was there for two full weeks and during that time, David and Myla were so welcoming and thoughtful in every way.
All-in-all, this was one of the most enjoyable vacations I’ve ever had and I have every intention of returning in the future!
