There is also a large, covered, front porch set above the spring-fed trout pond,with oversized rockers, bird feeders, and an outdoor dining table for a breakfast spent watching the hummingbirds feed, or for enjoying a candlelit dinner amid the sounds of the spring-water and clear skies of the mountains.
A ten minute walk down the hollow will take you to the local craft, fruit and veggie stand.
