Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by such elegant, ZEN looking bamboo lining the walkway to the most amazing garden space in the backyard. The entry was seamless with a keypad, and the space was completely separate from the host’s home. Inside, there was a beautiful set of French doors that allowed one to enjoy the indoor/outdoor living space while viewing the garden and a path leading to a gorgeous pagoda for having tea (stove, tea table, and porcelain) and an Ethernet cable to get super fast internet outside, uninterrupted! I particularly liked the flowers and the fruit trees, especially the lemon tree! (I was invited to pick some lemons that were sweet enough to eat!) I also enjoyed watching the sun set over the garden. I felt super safe and comfortable just spending time in the flower garden, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere and ambiance of nature. There was quite a bit of space to enjoy!
The hosts were very responsive and provided such thoughtful amenities, such as a Berkey water filter, heated toilet seat, kitchen, washer/dryer. The bed was very comfortable and quiet. The towels were very clean and soft. Every little detail seemed carefully hand picked just for the guests to enjoy! It was such a pleasure to simply be in this space. I am grateful for such a beautiful, relaxing space near the city, and I would love to return for another private, serene retreat. I couldn’t imagine a better stay!
