“A little overstated”

While the privacy and quiet were as represented, there is the feeling, amongst all the clutter and personal items, that you are staying in someone's bedroom/efficiency who has simply left for a few days. I.e., uncovered, open butter, half used bottles of condiments and toiletries, which is what is left for guests to use. That contributed to a small influx of ants, despite the low temperatures at night. Not sumptuous - as represented. The bathroom has no heat source and remained cold. The gas stove (the heat source), once it reached the desired temperature, popped off and on constantly (every couple of minutes) and loudly, which meant you had to get up every 3 hours and move the thermostat setting extremely up or down so that you could get another 3 hours sleep before it started again. Finally, we had only a trickle of water pressure on our last morning - at every source of water, inside and out, and could not shower.
Because they ask for personal checks and have a no refund policy, we have no recourse for this misrepresentation.

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful, romantic, relaxing, fun.
Those looking to get away from it all will find it at Clair de Lune.
Just don't forget to walk across the suspension bridge to the other side of the canyon and watch the sunset from the Stargazer house. Clair de Lune is an experience not to be missed in life. . .

“Peaceful, Quiet and Private”

Mayacama Mountaintop Retreat / Clair de Lune Cottage

Gary and Carolyn are wonderful hosts. We found the perfect location for our wedding ceremony, the deck of Claire De Lune cottage. The sun dappled location and the sound of the creek running by, gave us the peaceful, laid back setting we were so eagerly anticipating. We enjoyed eating, relaxing, and even showering on the outdoor deck. The woods surrounding the cottage were fun to explore and really added to our feeling of privacy. The view from the stargazer house into the valley is captivating, especially when the fog rolls in. Great place to de-stress.

“Healing”

Mayacama Mountaintop Retreat / Clair de Lune Cottage

We knew that after getting married we needed a place to rest, relax, and enjoy the quiet of nature. The cottage is quaint & tucked away in a grove of trees. We spent a lot of time on the back deck simply reading, eating, drinking, talking, and enjoying the nature that is all around. It was rejuvinating to sit & watch the butterflies & birds. Two large curious deer visited us frequently as well as a kitten we named King Arthur who loved to meditate in the shade. The stars were incredible & a wonderful reminder of where we live. The land is a blessed place & the stargazer house gave incredible views of the surrounding hills as well as an amazing spot to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the stars. We thought we would be exploring the surrounding towns and area but found ourselves content to stay on the property and be. I recommend it highly.
