perfection - not perfect, but perfectly what i was hoping for!
i wanted a humble affordable solo getaway, easy to get to (taxi, close to station & grocery) somewhere cozy with plenty of places to sit and relax, cozy ambience indoors, close access to trail walks, peaceful nature vibes and the amenities i need (cooking, showering, warmth)
you will love this if:
- you want a peaceful getaway
- you love cozy! fireplace, open plan studio, comfy bed, electric blanket
- garden vibes! views out every window/door, multiple places to sit in the beautiful and charmingly unkempt multi-tier garden (my fave type)
- birbs
- tranquility, birb songs, mountain air, bush views, garden foliage, lil buzzing bees, sound of the breeze in the trees, away from busyness
- many different flora and fauna
- tea and cake out in the garden
- dinner outside while watching the bush
- shortest walk ever to a beautiful trail walk with multiple views, streams, and minnehaha falls
- a host who is extremely helpful with questions and also leaves you be to enjoy your solitude
- strolls around the chill neighbourhood, and a true local vibes cafe close by
- picnics at the reserve, there’s swings, tables, and lots of hilarious and cute birbs …
look, i could go on listing, but if you are looking for a serene, tranquil, humble, very cozy lil getaway, that is affordable on a budget: this. is. the. place. i will be back asap. either in summer so i can swim at the falls, or in autumn so i can enjoy the falling leaves
