What the day feels like
What the stay feels like
This is low-key glamping: arrive, set down provisions, and step into a compact living space that opens on raw coastline. Days are for shoreline walks and short hikes; evenings settle into quiet—wood-fired warmth, the lapping of the bay, and wide skies overhead. Stays typically run from a couple of days to a week, offering enough time to disconnect without the trappings of a large resort.
