In the quiet of the night, lounge in the living room and listen to music or engage in conversation with other guests. Curl up with a good book from our library in front of a warming fire. If you're bringing the kids, be assured there are endless ways to channel their boundless energies. While you're relaxing on the deck, they'll have the run of the enclosed grounds as they pick berries near the greenhouse. Also, they'll have fun in our elaborate playground and playhouse. At day's end, they'll delight in sleeping in their very own loft.

For those of you who come in the winter months, the excitement of ocean storms is an added attraction. The peace and solitude can be a refreshing and welcome break from your fast-paced life.
