For this place, in my opinion, all you need is the deck. I just loved the peace and quiet and watching the sunset, hearing the birds, the deer, the peekaboo view of the water. Mind you, I say quiet but you will hear boats and small planes overhead, as you probably would anywhere on the islands. And for being so close to the little Lopez Island airport, surprisingly few planes. Was easy peasy getting into the village. Kitchen very well stocked and nice modern appliances.
