Peace and quiet

This home is in a quiet area.

Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
A quiet little bit of heaven on Kelsey Creek for the traveling professional who wants to feel like they are on vacation even though they aren't.

Lovely decks, lawn areas, veg and flower gardens provide an unexpected oasis one mile from downtown Kelseyville shops, restaurants and wineries, less than 20 min. to hospitals, care centers and recreation areas.

Host lives on and cares for the property and makes sure that kitchen, and all shared areas are fresh and welcoming at all times

The space
Guest in the master suite enjoys a private bath and has the entire upstairs to themselves. A desk area and sitting area are included along with a small balcony overlooking entire yard. Bathroom has a large tub for relaxing or enjoying a European shower and lots of closet space in spite of fact that host does utilize one half of the closet. That is to suggest that she will occasionally need to come upstairs. She will NEVER do so without notice.

As well, she will need to access to your balcony twice a week to water plants unless you want the job ;-)

While MS does have air conditioning, it is also the vent for entire house which does not. In summer months, at
night, guest must be comfortable with their doors and windows open to let cool air in and allow host to keep downstairs as comfortable as possible also.

Guest access
Guest are welcome to use chef's kitchen to prepare a meal, or the Weber BBQ if you like to grill. Some coordination is necessary in order accommodate all who wish to make use of facility. As there are gardens, animals and recycling to be considered, there are some specifics in the kitchen that will require attention and consideration on your part.

Host spends most afternoon/evenings in the kitchen preparing and cleaning up meals for guests on dinner plan and occasionally entire days preparing meals for catering activities, processing farm produce or baking bread for household.

During your stay
I am usually busy taking care of yard and gardens, preparing a meal, baking bread, tidying up in the kitchen or keeping the fire stoked in the wood burning stove.

I thoroughly enjoy interacting with my guests but do my best to give them plenty of peace and quiet after a long day of work.

Other things to note
Guests are not encouraged to take food into their rooms. Host prefers that any dining take place at dinner table so as to avoid grease stains and unwanted critters.

We have a couple of dogs on the property and Chickens and goats keep us feeling "farmy"...

As I cater mostly to long term traveling professionals (one to three months), short term bookings (weekends) are only accepted one to two weeks in advance.
