We were looking for more of a peaceful, rural experience, and this place caught our eye right off the bat. The spacious property, fresh fruit, friendly and well behaved dogs, and friendly hosts made for a most enjoyable stay. Very relaxing. We are Alaskans, so enjoy being outdoors as much as possible in lovely weather. We loved the open air common area, outdoor kitchen, and frequent interaction with the dogs. The coki frogs, geckos, barred doves, canary finches, and various sundry other local inhabitants provided exotic symphonic background music as well. Thank you Rich, Barb, Jennifer, Jazz, Teddy, and Ollie!
