I'd have to lay awake in a hotel room for hours waiting for him to stir.
But with a vacation rental, I'm up and about, making my coffee, enjoying the views, planning our day's explorations while watching the world wake.
Egg Cottage note: Our assumption is that morning coffee is as important for our guests as it is for us.
We like our beans ground fresh each morning, so we have a coffee grinder on hand.
We researched the drip coffee maker for ease of use and quality of brew.
We have the newest version of the Keurig, for your podful enjoyment.

History
Report
In the beginning, there were 100 acres on this bluff purchased by a gentleman with the last name of Manney (likely William G. Manney, one of Egg Harbor's earliest settlers).
He divided the acreage up with his children and one of the children was given our particular lot and apparently built this house.
Giz Herbst, Egg Harbor's town historian (and my Dad's Sturgeon Bay high school classmate), did a bit of research and determined that the home was built in 1898.
Giz owns Yore Place just down the road, a gallery where he displays his watercolors.
