When to see the sea of clouds (and when to wake up)

Five cool seasons of watching the fog from our deck, boiled down to which months give you the best chance.

A morning sea of clouds with peaks rising above it

The question we hear most is “will we see the sea of clouds?” Honestly, nobody can promise it — but we can tell you when the odds are good.

The best months

Late November to early February, after a clear, still night that followed a humid day. The fog usually sits below the houses from about 5:30 to 8 am.

The rains have fog too

From July to September it's rain mist drifting through the garden — a different, greener mood, fewer guests and lower prices.

Small tips

Set an alarm for 5:45 and peek through the curtains. If you can see the treetops clearly, the fog hasn't come yet — sleep another half hour. The drip coffee in your room helps.

Come and listen to the wind
