A fallen piece of an oak tree, wrapped in bubble lights and flanked by stumps adorned with tea lights, provided the backdrop for their storybook wedding. “This past year we’ve hosted doctors and nurses looking for stress relief, and I’ve been surprised by the number of locals,” Lucas said. “But, they come for anniversaries and everyone has a birthday.” Your mobile phones may not work and there is no Internet, but each rental features phonographs and a collection of vintage vinyl. You’ll also find board games and a small book collection. Oh, there are also wine and chocolates. In the morning you can enjoy fresh fruit and muffins with coffee or tea. Other amenities include fire pits, complete with firewood, and chocolate bars and marshmallows for making the requisite s’mores. Each rental has an infrared grill (You provide the steak.), French press, coffee maker, electric kettle and mini-fridge. n You can book either Stella Vista or Bella Luna on Airbnb directly.
