Great Solo Retreat
I very much enjoyed my stay at Fearn's cabin. beautiful views of surrounding mountains, and the mountain streams can be easily heard and are soothing. The outside temperature was high 30s-low 40s, windy and I was warm throughout, the two-burner cookstove was adequate for my needs. Fearn was available & responsive for questions and brought me kindling to make sure I had some for a campfire. The grounds are lovely. It was perfect for my solo escape from family for a creative weekend, cut short by a major snowstorm, and my personal decision to head home early; I look forward to returning.

Close to nature
Well apportioned. Verbena Vista is heated with a super reliable propane system, has an RV/Boating gas cooktop and wash sink. A sweet French press, some local honey and olive oil. It uses a diy sawdust 5 gallon pail composter latrine. This is a wanderer or back country campers type place, for someone interested in homesteading like me. It was so quiet and peaceful lovely to see fresh snow in the morning.

I loved the little cabin here! It was so calm and serene! All of the sustainable aspects were great as well. Dancing in the Druid circle will be in my memory always.
