A SLICE OF HEAVEN
If your looking to get away from the rat race of the city, this sanctuary is the place to be! The owner, Marie, was VERY accommodating to anything we needed and a gracious host. This 27 acres is nestled beautifully in Cazadero, with sprawling endless views of the magnificent forest surroundings. The salt water pool was very refreshing since we visited during a heat wave into the 100's. The hot tub was just as refreshing, especially for star gazing into the clear nights. The muscical chirping of the frogs from the pond at night just captivated the whimsical serenity of this gorgeous sanctuary. Our week stay was storybook picturesque. To be far I feel I need to share and remind folks you are in a forest and a good 30-40 minutes to a gas station or full grocery store. There is a small grocery/deli in Cazadero that had delicious homemade desserts and made fantastic sandwiches, and had various odds and ends to get by. Encountering critters of various sizes is just nature doing it's thing, whether inside or out. I feel it should also be noted that the sanctuary is decorated beautifully with endless ornate/antique furniture and Tiffany lamps, so definitely not appropriate for roaming hands of a toddler or mischief child to run, jump and play. Because our stay was during a heat wave the owner did her due diligence to try an cool the top portion of the home with various devices, but perhaps investing in an a/c unit would be more economical.
