Born in Georgia, grew up in San Diego - - and entered adulthood in San Francisco from 1976 - 2011! I have two amazing adult children who live in NYC/Savannah, GA and New Orleans...

The blessing of finding this magical property in 2004 and embarking on a journey of epic & mythological proportions is actually an understatement! I had NO IDEA what was in store for me, moving to this beautiful remote wild north coast community...

The magical majestic redwoods that live and surround this property are what captured my attention & heart. Inspired and intrigued I stepped fully and completely into this adventure!

The original main house was destroyed by a fire 11 Sep 2009...I was devastated - - the house had been built from the redwoods on the property...I salvaged as much as I could and over the years I have found ways to repurpose many of those elements. Including incorporating them into the renovation of the cottage in the summer of 2017!

The journey of designing and rebuilding was daunting, inspiring, stressful and a blessing...I really discovered who I am and what ignites my passion and sacred space/ and reflecting the natural surroundings.

The stain glass Phoenix rising from the flames, adorns the southern facing gable of the main house you pass when going to the entrance of Echo Cottage, garden art includes pieces of furniture & fixtures, and stones (from fireplace) salvaged from the fire.

My wish and hope for each Guest is that they will feel and experience the love and magic of this beautiful sacred magical space! Whether sitting out on the deck star gazing or from the hot tub, creating your own magic, and making beautiful memories!

Respite...Tranquility....Peace as you unwind/unplug and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this land and surrounding areas...
