This adorable cottage was in a great location and our hosts were very easy to communicate with. We were able to settle in right away after a quick contactless check-in and the house was comfortable and clean, it felt like home immediately. There were plenty of walkable shops (most closed due to COVID, but window shopping is still fun), coffee shops, restaurants (mostly takeout, some had spaced out dine-in options) and Stormbreaker & Ecliptic Brewing both had open patio seating for everyone to safely enjoy great local beer at a distance.
We rented a car (highly recommend) and enjoyed a day trip out to the coast. There we hiked trails at Cape Lookout, dipped our feet in the ocean and stopped at Wolves & People Brewing on our way home (open patio for socially distant beer drinking).
We also enjoyed a day trip driving down the Columbia River Gorge, with only a few trails open, we were still able to see amazing waterfalls and wind surfers while sipping great local beer in Hood River.
Given the circumstances with COVID, this spot allowed for us to maximize our vacation experience and to focus on enjoying the scenery and breweries all while being safely outdoors. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much for making our anniversary amazing and unforgettable!
