Here is a magazine commentary and a poem about the 1910 cottage:
“I experienced the power of an immersive environment while staying in a beach cottage, circa 1910, on Long Island Sound in Connecticut over the Memorial Day weekend. This cottage had no paint – with the exception of exterior wood trim – no finished surfaces, no “landscaping,” old, simple furniture, and very little in the way of modern plumbing. This was the most relaxing place I had ever been …. In and around the cottage, the harmony was perfect.” --Robert Steueteville, “Commentary”, New Urban News, July-August, 2000, p. 2
“The Perfect Place” (June 1996, Guest name withheld)
I know of a perfect place.
It holds the perfect memories
of love and laughter
of solitude and healing.
It’s a starting place
of old endings and new beginnings
of all the good things to come.
It’s a place for remembering
and a place to grow
a place to bring the two together.
It’s a place never to be forgotten,
one to be held close to the heart.
I knew when I came here,
I would find life …
again
