Nature trails abound, and prepare to awake serenaded by our resident Bald Eagles, and numerous migratory songbirds, or catch a glimpse of schools of fish passing by and our local sea lions. During nesting season, we are directly across from the largest Blue Heron rookery in the Pacific Northwest, where hundreds of Great Blue Herons return year after year to nest and hatch their young, truly something to experience. The cottage includes binoculars for viewing our friends. Enjoy a selection of vinyl provided on the in-room record player, grab the guitar, learn a few chords (books provided in-house) and take it outside to play around the firepit in the evening. Walking distance to exceptional markets and dining options or cooking in the fully equipped kitchen.
