Mar Vista Cottages

notes and musings from some of our guests

"Calm ocean breezes and Springtime sneezes; Buster is a happy goat. We are happy too, to share this special place with him. We expected rain and fog, but were blessed with the kind of weather that makes the frogs leap and the bees buzz. We haven't even left yet and we can't wait to return!"

Another day at the beach,
Paradise within reach.
Another happy dog, one more day, no fog!
Another morning I'm in love,
this house, in the treasured trove,
Too bad work and the city are calling,
Tomorrow, I'll wake up balling. .

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

"Mar Vista is a beautiful place to kick the media addiction, although the frogs are a bit loud in the evening."

Frost's lovely poem captured the feelings of one of our recent guests and they left it for us upon their departure.

"Buster", our very friendly goat.
