Wonderful cabin, view and host!
The cabin was cozy, the beds very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The view out the window is spectacular and we enjoyed spending time sitting around the fire pit, and lying in the hammock watching the eagles fly around and communicate with each other. The host was incredibly sweet and communicative. We had an unfortunate incident that was 100% my fault and she couldn’t have been more gracious about it. I would definitely stay here again. It’s minutes away from my favorite agate hunting beach and the experience was peaceful and lovely.
