Ivy met us at the drive! Tea candles were lit in lieu of electricty. The whole lot is wonderous. You feel like you're in a magic garden! Our night's sleep was definitely improved with the silence of the mud hut. Not sure if it's just in my head, but now I totally want to build my own refuge free of electricity. We only had the chance to spend one night, but two would be better. The St. John's neighborhood is a nice change from the bustle of downtown Portland. We would stay here again, no hesitation.
