Dedicated wifi and apple TV for entertainment. Heated and Air conditioned. Easy street parking. Enjoy views of the garden from your own patio or morning sunshine on the side patio.

We provide coffee as well as herbal tea that we pick and dry from the garden. We try to share some of the produce of the garden whenever we can.

Great location
We were visiting daughter and family which was close by. Very cozy place. Host was helpful. The sofa needs to be replaced. The gardens are probably beautiful in the summer. Tv had buffering problems.
