My wife and I saw Darrell's place here and read the great reviews of other people's experiences. All of the great things that people say are true, and the pictures cannot capture how wonderful it is. I think that the flowers and plants are much more lush than in the pictures, we felt like we were in a tropical paradise the whole time. Little frogs chirp at night, and Darrell lights up the garden with an amazing light display. He is a great host and we are planning to return as soon as possible. The whole experience was magical. We took a nap in the hammock, meditated in the swinging chairs over the little waterfall, and enjoyed relaxing baths in the cool outdoor bathtub surrounded with green vines and flowers. We also enjoyed the hot tub! I picked up some lamb at Trader Joe's and grilled it in a neat little grill in the garden and sauteed some veggies in our little kitchenette and we ate on our garden patio under the wind chimes. There are many mellow cool places to go nearby, including Darrell's vintage shop where my wife and I both found some unique things to buy. You won't be disappointed, and we WILL be back!
