Gordon is a pleasant, interesting and sensitive host. If you want total privacy - you have it. If you want a break and some interesting conversation - you have it.

But more important, is that when the 'going gets rough' Gordon handles it. When I arrived, the whole are had to be evacuated for a day and a half due to a forest fire, only a mile away. When they lifted the evacuation, Gordon had arrived only a few minutes before me. The quaint artist cabin had to be abandoned due to the evacuation and the previous occupants luggage, etc, were still there (no one's fault!).

Gordon put me up in one of his other units immediately - which had its own charm also, and then moved me the next day.

It wasn't until later that I realized what Gordon had gone through to handle this - I didn't even know.
