Villa Vista is a nice old fasion wooden cabin a stone throw from the entrance to the Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Peninsula. There are two minimalistic bedrooms, a small bath room, kitchen with iron cascet frypans - perfect for making Swedish pancaces - and a living room with a great view over the lake. The living room is heated by a pellet eating fireplace which produces more that enough heat as long as it doesn't run out of pellets.
The cabin is very well maintained by the friendly owners, Mary and John, who lives next door. When we arrived, the fireplace was lit and Mary had stocked up some cookies and coffee for us. We unloaded the car and drove up to the top of the Hurricane ridge and walked around on various paths for some hours. The walk was very easy - a man on crutches passed us - and the view amazing, we saw both remote glaciers and Victoria island.
We returned to the cabin as the sun was setting behind the mountains and spent the night cooking food (fettucino alfredo, mmm!), drinking flaggpunsch, and playing hold 'em and dize while listening through my collection of gangsta rap. Back to nature, ey? The next day we had pancakes with cloudberry jam for breakfast and went for a short row on the lake before we checked out.
