A quiet nature-oriented suite on three acres, in a peaceful creative, healthy environment welcoming guests who like a natural chemical/fragrance-free, clean air experience. Our gardens, wildlife, and art gallery welcome you, and we request your help keeping our haven uniquely free of fragrances for those requiring avoidance of these chemicals. (Please read our space description and house rules carefully). Breathe deep and rejuvenate! You will feel and love the difference!

The space
Our space is a truly soul-nurturing experience in your private 2-room suite featuring a second floor bedroom with a comfy queen size bed, plus a sitting room with futon, above a large first floor artist’s studio with beautiful common areas for your enjoyment behind our rural home. Your suite overlooks gardens on our peaceful three-acres. A bathroom with shower is on the first floor (please be sure you’re OK with the floor difference).

We maintain a non-toxic safe-haven for those looking for an experience free of chemicals and scents, therefore we ask you to be free of fragrances in your personal care and laundry products, and please do not use scented insect repellents, sunscreens, aerosols, or diffusers during your stay. We can offer you suggestions for safer alternatives to these products if needed, so we can provide welcoming accommodations for those with allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, etc. We provide healthy fragrance-free soap, shampoo and personal care items for your use.

For allergy reasons, we can not allow any furry four-legged guests.

The beautiful, unique structure which holds the suite was built in 2005 by Mennonites in the old tradition with Hemlock board and batten, using only non-toxic materials.

A simple help-yourself, host-provided continental breakfast is available at your leisure, to enjoy in our sunny first-floor common area or on the deck overlooking flower and veggie gardens with a wide variety of bird visitors.

We’re usually on the premises and always available by message.
