Sue is a gracious host. She introduced us to the house and shared space and her horses, and some wild turkeys. I grew up in Oakland and did not know such a wonderful place existed. This place has a wonderful garden space. There is a swimming pool but it was a bit chilly to swim while we were there.... My most memorable experience is just in sitting outside area and reading in the morning. The view is focused rather than expansive. It is still a bit of my personal paradise. Quiet but can hear civilization. Birds and wind chimes for ambiance.
