I'm an occasional live-in homeowner (not living there while I have guests), educator at heart, who has decided to open my doors to share my peaceful space with others. This helps me to afford my space and upkeep, planned upcoming improvements (some Summer 2019), & life challenges that I face being sandwiched between generations (including a rental for my elderly mom). I aim to provide an exceptional experience for each of my guests, I welcome your input, and work hard to use toxin-free and environmentally sound practices in my cleaning and operation of this home. I'm there to greet you when I'm able, but self-check in is also available after 4 PM. You are unlikely to see me during your stay other than at greeting, unless its time to refresh breakfast items (during extended stays), or to handle trash/recycling to the curb (weekly) OR as needed to maintain hot tub quality. If guests desire a more social visit, to learn more about local things to do, I'm happy to accommodate that as well but I aim to provide privacy first and social experience based on desire/request. You'll see I leave a piece of me about my space, books, health & wellness literature--please enjoy a borrowed read while you relax (Living Room hammock or master suite swing are great for this). I desire that you settle in, feel at home, and make use of my space as if it were your own, helping yourself to pantry items and whatnot when desired (I am a bit gourmet), and just request that you be considerate and deposit to my "sin bin" to help me replenish items used outside continental breakfast fare.
