“Thank you for letting me stay at the most beautiful place on earth


"This is a house for every season, a home indeed. We are so happy to play here. So beautiful, livable, cozy, inspiring. Perfect.”

“What a beautiful place! We had an amazing time. It was nice to be together and enjoy the serenity and quiet, birds singing, sun shining, overlooking the garden. The care you have put in your home shows in all the details: the notes, the garden, the sharing. We will come again if you will have us.”

“I hardly know where to start. The whole place, the entire experience is utterly enchanting. From the moment we turned into the drive, I sensed I was in the presence of master beauty-makers.... Upon cresting the hill, to see the sweet curving path to the little yellow farm-house is captivating. We enjoyed every thoughtful detail, from the strawberries just waiting to be picked in the garden, to the elegant, peaceful stone shower. Ryan (2 1/2) went crazy for the treehouse, the swings, the rings, the rocking horse. And I must confess I was able to satisfy some of my most eagerly longed for childhood fantasies. The trap door, the ladder through the tree, the picturesque wire basket to pull sandwiches up for lunch, the beauty of it all... I couldn't stop gushing or marveling. It's pure magic.”

“I am enchanted in this place where the creativity of God and man meet and harmonize. This is a sacred place to relax, rest, rejuvenate and rejoice.”

“We came not knowing what to expect. A knick-knacky bungalow in town? Not! The kids piled out of the car and ran up the hill. They pushed each other on the swing.  They played capture-the-flag. There is nothing here to hurt them or that they can hurt! What a safe place. And that means we can all relax. And it's “big kid” friendly too. We swung on the big swing. We walked. David and Tim played catch every night. We sat on your benches and did nothing. We delighted on cooking on your wood stove. We curled up and read. I can see so many little touches of love you have added to this house and land.”

“This place is beautiful! David and I couldn't believe our luck when we passed the gates and drove up to your picturesque farmhouse. Charming! We explored everything right away and were so impressed by your ingenuity and thoughtful care of this house, both as your family's home and as a restful retreat for your guests. We delighted in the tree swing, climbed into the magical tree house, marveled at the promise of the outdoor shower, and rolled down your grassy lawn like little kids. We loved it and hope to come again soon.”

“Thank you for letting us use the Allen House. We loved it! The stone shower that leads to the porch, the deep and comfy claw foot tub and the shower outside the studio/gallery are cool. The super swing is just plain phenomenal! The surrounding redwoods and the wind rustling through their leaves are ideal for a restful weekend get-away or a prefect place to live.  We'd love to come back.”
