After 10 years of book group retreats and looking for a house every fall that would meet all the evolving needs of 6 friends who continue to become a little more particular with age and wisdom...this was such a great find! The space was flexible for all of us to enjoy thoroughly. The house is large and roomy, with a lot of light and various spaces to retreat in pairs or in solitude. Four were able to have single bedrooms with roomy comfortable beds providing an array of firmness (Goldilocks would have been pleased!) as well as easy access to 2 bathrooms. The shared room was ample space for two with a king bed and a beautiful bath. We made great meals; soaked in the hot tub and sunken tub; took many walks in the beautiful neighborhood that lines the surrounding coves; and used the kayaks (clearer directions for how to access them easily in the house would have been appreciated). It rained all weekend, as the PNW autumn is bound to do, but an amazing picture window with views of rainbows, seals, eagles, loons, gulls, and herons provided the best show we could ask for. We never turned on a television once. If the dates and stars align, we think our search is over for the perfect annual book retreat house!
