On the lower level, a covered slate patio is perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon read. Finally, walk down the cedar tree steps to the cliff-side lower patio, which offers unequalled views and a fire pit for a night time marshmallow roast under the stars.

****
the cottage is nestled in a rainforest, surrounded by the lush beauty of nature. While the hosts make efforts to clear away cobwebs, animal and bird droppings, as well as leaves and debris before guests arrive, they kindly ask guests to understand that the cottage is situated in the habitat of these creatures. Therefore, it's natural for them to rebuild their webs and nests. Appreciating this delicate balance between human habitation and the natural environment adds to the charm of the stay.
