Guest Reviews from our Room Journals!

It seems that everyone has something to say about Being Green.  So it's time that I spoke out about what we are doing here at the Oasis.  We created the Oasis to be just that ... a perfectly beautiful, peaceful sanctuary which exists in harmony with the earth, enhances it's beauty and is nurtured by its bounty.  Of course, we recycle and grow some of our own food with organic techniques.  We are constantly doing whatever we can to reduce our carbon footprint.

 Our booking engine doesn't accept reservations within 2 days of the reservation date, so if you are looking at this time frame, you will need to contact us directly here or call at 888-987-0505.

Raising my own food has been a joy and a challenge for over 30 years. I started with a window box planted with radishes and I was hooked.  No matter where you live, whatever climate, you can reap the rewards of growing your own garden.  At a time when the realizations of what's important and real is creeping back into our lives, gardening tempts us to eat a more healthy diet and exercise as well!  The tomatoes are starting to come in and even some peppers are finding their way onto the breakfast table. Of course, there is more to come!  You are always welcome in the garden ... to pull weeds ...to sample ... to learn ... to experience ...

Whether for romantic or weekend getaways, birthdays, anniversaries, business or a spiritual retreat, you will love your stay with us!  Don't forget to book a massage for yourself or your special someone ... 

The Aquarius Cottage has the best signal, as it is closest to the router. Being located where we are, the only service available is Satellite.  I've been told that reception depends in large part on the limitations of the wireless card.  Of course, you can always use your laptop on the Porch or in the Living Room of the Main House. Reception here is great ... and as good as it gets.  We love to have you here!

  Gift Certificates are always available for a Massage or a Stay at the Oasis. Call or e-mail us and we will send a Gift Certificate for you.
