When you both get hungry, the compact yet well-equipped kitchen has ample space for whipping up a romantic meal before carrying your plates to the dining table or outside to dine alfresco on fine evenings. Outside, huddle under a blanket around the fire pit to toast marshmallows and stargaze; you're in the optimum spot for the prettiest night skies.
