This year we took on a little too much.
New rooms, a new website, endless improvements, repairs and unfinished ideas. Not everything is ready yet. But some things are finally coming together.
We recently updated the photos for Stone Oven Stay on Airbnb and Booking, and almost immediately the calendar started filling up. August is already nearly booked.
Most people plan their trip for August.
It’s easy to understand why.
In the cities, the asphalt melts under the sun. The air feels heavy with heat. Even along the coast, finding a quiet spot can be a challenge.
Up here in the mountains, sometimes all you need is a tree.
We have plenty of those.
They come with cold streams, waterfalls and mountain trails that eventually lead to small restaurants hidden among the clouds.
But every year we notice the same thing.
Many visitors arrive just when the most magical part of the season is already beginning to disappear.
Right now, the fireflies have arrived.
They are impossible to capture properly in photos or stories. By mid-July they will be gone again, together with the wild strawberries, blueberries and many of the small gifts that early summer brings.
Of course, there will still be plenty to enjoy afterwards. The stars are not going anywhere.
The mountains, forests, streams and trails will remain.
But this particular moment of the year cannot be saved for later.
At Stone Oven Stay you can book a private room, an apartment with its own kitchen, or even the entire property. And if you follow us here, you probably already know how to reach us directly.
Sometimes the best things last only a few weeks.
P.S. Stone Oven House is still full of art, artists and creative projects. But the fireflies deserve some attention too. They appear without grants, curators or press releases, and disappear leaving only memories of a summer that passed too quickly.
