Retreat house. Nature, Hot Tub, Views!

Expansive spaces, ocean views, birds singing, and larger than life granite boulders all come together to offer something that feels like magic. More like a national park than a home, we've found that guests enjoy the pace and peaceful surroundings and spend most of their visit without leaving. That being said, if you're feeling more exploratory, there are many options within a short drive including hiking, wine tasting, horseback riding, fishing, and even sky-diving.
