Granit Point Weekend Get-Away

Bryan and I spent a fabulous weekend out at the Granit Point Mountain Lodge where we rented a dry cabin for 5-days/4-nights. The cabin was perched high up on a cliff overlooking the oceans far below.

We had the place pretty much to ourselves the first night, then two more couples moved in for the weekend. They left before we did, though, so we had the last night to ourselves as well.

The cabin was nice, with a well-stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. I made good use of the couch out on the porch, reading my book(s) and drinking my tea. We had to haul our own water and firewood, but that wasn’t nearly as bad as we thought it would be.

One morning a little ermine came to join us for breakfast – and one afternoon we watched a humpback whale and her calf play for hours out in the bay. Fish were jumping like crazy in the cove, so Bryan had a good time fishing. I did a bit of beachcombing and got to see several fat purple sea stars, numerous sea urchins, and even a few jellies washed up onto the beach.

It was a wonderful get-away and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
