The Honeymoon Cottage of Linkwitz Rentals in Sea Ranch

The Sea Ranch is internationally known and revered for its attempt
to blend man-made structures with their natural setting. This most
picturesque northern California area, 100 miles north of San
Francisco dotted with distinctive homes, spreads for about ten miles
on either side of Highway One in the coastal Sonoma County of
California. The building design is unique in its architecture, and
the challenge to "live lightly on the land" is on-going.

The "Honeymoon Cottage" was designed by William Turnbull, a member
of the original group of UC Berkeley architects who worked on The
Sea Ranch. It exemplifies their philosophy for blending buildings
with their natural setting and atmosphere.
The cottage is of striking post and beam construction with rough
hewn lumber. The furniture and decor throughout the home are
designed with a blend of bright, warm colors accentuating the wooden
interior. For your convenience a writing/computer desk has been
added recently.
The "Honeymoon Cottage" has a living space with very high ceilings
and upstairs bedroom loft.
It is well suited to the unique Linkwitz Lab Orion+ loudspeaker
system that is set up in the cottage, and which has made it a
destination for audiophiles who are searching for the best in sound
reproduction.

The "Honeymoon Cottage" belongs to a group of homes which border a
large meadow that flows down towards the Pacific Ocean. A gentle
stroll of 900 yards brings you across Highway One to the ocean
shore. Behind the cottage begins the pine tree forested hillside
with hiking trails and bicycle routes. The wide open meadow is a
natural surrounding for deer, rabbits, wild turkeys and other birds
of every kind. Relax in a lounge chair on the deck and watch the
wildlife move by or the large herd of sheep grazing.

The ocean may be too cold for anything but wading due to its year-
round temperature of 55 F (13 C), but with three swimming pools,
saunas, tennis courts, a golf course, and miles of hiking trails
that meander along the coastal cliffs, through meadows and forests,
there is no shortage of outdoor activity in the sunny yet temperate
climate of Sea Ranch. Or, soak in the hot tub on the deck of the
"Honeymoon Cottage" with the view to the ocean and watch the sun set.

Even the occasional winter storms, with their high winds and driving
rains, become an enjoyable experience when watched through the
window, and comforted by the warmth from a crackling, air-tight wood
stove, a good book and some snacks. The excellent Linkwitz Lab
Orion+ sound system is an invitation to listen to your favorite CDs
or even your iPod. These speakers have made the "Honeymoon Cottage"
a destination for audiophiles seeking the best in accurate sound
reproduction.
