--- INTERACTION WITH GUESTS ---
We live on the property. Access to the studio/office is via a separate entrance so you have complete privacy.
We are a busy working couple. We will try to greet you if we can but we never disturb you once you are inside, and never enter the studio while you are here (unless requested). Feel free to knock on our back (kitchen) door if you need anything, or hear us and would like to say hello!
--- MORE ESSENTIAL INFO ---
Through the gate you will be greeted by a beautiful garden. The studio is at the back of the garden.
As you can see in the photos, there are a few steps up to the studio that are a bit uneven -- "landscaped" style stairs. For our elderly guests, be advised that there is no railing. The pathway is lit at night.
The studio/office entrance is through the office door, on the right of the back building. Enter the studio from the office.
The lock box will provide you a key to the front door. Please remember to leave the key when you depart at the end of your stay.

Beautiful garden and view. Great host!
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
Everything was great! Catherine was available before and during our stay and responded to our questions promptly. The guest house was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed and more (fun snacks, drinks, extra towels, etc.). Directions and instructions were clear and thorough.

This property approaches, almost completely, my ideal of a great VRBO rental. Everything is so perfectly curated from the communication to the filtered water in the fridge to the heated towel bar in the bathroom to mention just a few. Appreciated the extraordinary garden and opportunities to view it from the patio. The space is inviting, light-filled and tastefully decorated. I especially liked the books. Recommend highly for a couple.

Very pretty garden adjacent to the space with night lighting. The neighborhood was very quiet at night. The unit had everything you might need from brochures for local tourist attractions to a wide variety of snacks.
