Running through the middle of the property is a peaceful year round stream, molded with spiritual sized rocks and surrounded by rain forest. The stream cascades over small waterfalls among the rocks, and terminates in a dramatic 50 foot water fall. Put your feet in the water, play with the craw fish, or layout on the rocks in the sun. Listen to the rushing sound of the stream, meditate, enjoy a book or explore the magical gardens that weave in and out of the gulch. For the adventurous you can even go exploring in our rainforest.
We have HiSpeed Internet! For the remote worker or writer, the apartment can be your live-in remote office or studio for longer-term stays. Washer and dryer are available on premises.
