I don't know how much time I spent in the overstuffed chair, staring out the window at the trees and the river, listening to Mozart and realizing I had entered a magical meditation. It's so good to have quiet time. Thank you Brenda!

• Wow! we just got here and already we’re overwhelmed with this place! I’ve been half sitting, half laying in the blue chair reading all the wonderful entries in these journals (Well - in between listening to my husband read “101 Reasons Why a Cat is Better Than A Man” aloud). Ken wants to play cards - I don’t want to leave this chair... I am still awestruck by this place! I didn’t miss the TV, telephone, computer, etc...at all!

  ...Here I sit in the dappled shade of huge alders and maples. Just beyond my vision is a little rapids where the water’s steady flow is interrupted by a washboard of basalt outcrop. Day and night, day and night, the water moves over these speed bumps, and never sounds the same! Certain breezes amplify the noise and bring me the pungent, herbal scent of wild roses, and the sweet moldy smells of damp earth. No gardener could improve on this lovely combination of colors, textures, sounds and smells...

• We picked some apples from your tree and then baked them with cinnamon & nutmeg. What a treat! From tree to tummy in a few hours. Until our next visit.

• What a spectacular morning! The Scarlet Oak presiding (in the sun) over frosty, crisp Queen Anne’s Lace. First fall frost... I’m so glad we stayed a second night. This cabin is perfect in every way... Thank you for this opportunity to reconnect.

• This is the perfect getaway. Any season, any weather, balanced between near and far, luxurious and rustic. Absolute magic.
