Kelley, we really had such a wonderful time last week at your Plasket Ridge home. We never thought we would be living in the clouds in a house that looked like it was simply part of the landscape, and such an architectural marvel. We hiked, read, cooked, basked on the deck, and just generally enjoyed every minute that we were there. We never tired of looking out to the sea, and loved how the views changed with each hour of the day. Thanks for such an incredible experience! Kate

This past September, we had the good fortune to stay in this rustic - yet gorgeous - property. The photos on this website do provide an accurate picture of just how special it is, but it's not easy to tap into the sense of serenity you'll enjoy-- it has to be experienced.
We took advantage of the hot tub (nice 'n hot!), quiet time on the deck overlooking the sea, and the miles of trails leading away from the property to higher country above. (As you go up, the views just keep getting better, especially if you are lucky as we were, to hit a grassy plateau at sunset, where we looked down at clouds rolling over the ocean.)
Things we like best about the property itself: The house is well-stocked with just about anything you need, including warm blankets, all your kitchen necessities and plenty of good books and DVD's to browse. There are two good-sized bathrooms, and an enormous kitchen well-suited for a family gathering with plenty of counter space and an island to prepare meals. The front window overlooking the sea is graced by two wide resting places for a good read, nap, or extra sleeping space besides what the bedrooms provide. The "living area" is not limited to the indoors - there is plenty of picnic and table space outside as well as in, which is important for larger gatherings requiring a little extra space for dining and visiting. You can see by the photos that the main master bedroom enjoys the best view (and has a terrific bathroom), but the others are also very tastefully decorated and functional. Outside the house we appreciated the natural vegetation and the sense that the owners haven't staged this so everything is perfectly placed, but instead, attention has been given to retaining the natural beauty of the surroundings and an allowance for native plants and flowers to thrive on their own.
We found we were very happy we drove a vehicle equipped to get up the rugged road to the property. It's not a difficult drive off the main highway, but certainly better suited for an SUV or truck if at all possible. Once you get to the property itself, you are rewarded with great views and only the sounds of nature. I was struck by the quiet of the night; we realized how rarely we are able to enjoy virtually no sounds at all except wind in the trees. It's quite a treat. This vacation rental met all our expectations - we plan to return! |
