The following is information and our desire for a harmonious and safe experience for our guests and the property:
We ask all of our guests to do their best to follow the “golden rule” of treating our place the way they would like visitors to treat their home and other than the necessary general cleaning, that they leave it as they found it. We also add a Ghandi twist of being the change they want to see in the world. This seems to open the door of kindness, accountability, trust and awareness for all involved.
There are many crystals, stones and beautiful rocks that have been placed in the building/home/lodge as well as throughout the grounds. Please enjoy their beauty without removing them from where they have been placed. It has taken years and a lot of dedication and love to assemble this collection and we would like to continue to share their beauty with all the guests to enjoy, while they are on the property, for years to come.
