The Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Story...
The serendipity of Sunny Mellow began with the name... Our daughter Elliott Marie penned a fantasy story in the 4th grade. In checking it for errors, I noticed the name of her Fictional Fantasy Land was "Sunny Mellow".
We had just purchased the first half of the property when I asked her if we could use her Sunny Mellow Name for our new home. "Sure Daddy" she replied. "It will help keep our home safe and alway happy and fun", she continued. "There are not many places were the Sun rises in the East end a canyon and sets in the West", she said with thought, with her lifted eyebrows! "And she continued, "We need a name that makes everyone smile"! "Oh Daddy". Elliott whispered now... "I Love My Sunny Bedroom at Sunny Mellow"!
Standing in the horse stable on our first day here, I thought, "Don't want horses, what to do with this structure"? I woke the next morning with the answer from a dream... A guesthouse! In 4 months we had remodeled the horse stable using stable wood into a one bedroom fully equipped small home! We used it for guests and as Robbie's art studio until that day when a friend suggested I list it for short term rental.
I laughed and did so. I pressed the button to list it and bing! Rented immediately... And continuously every since.
We purchased the second half of the property and on it built a second and third house for rentals... And The Chi-Treehouse! Being the success and great fun that it became, we finally built The Yoga Yurta as icing on the cake of our Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Empire, LOL! The Garden, Vineyard, Orchard and all the paths the link everything together just came along in time. Solar power is a passion and fun to tinker with. Yoga on the Expansive Redwood Yoga deck is a outright pleasure and Ping Pong under the stars a hoot!
Come join us and our full time tenants in all the fun!
