"...we were able to fit in so much ... horseback riding on a 10 mile beach, jet skiing on Clear Lake, and an afternoon in Napa....thank you for providing such a peaceful, relaxing place" .... Kate and Joe, Boston, MA

Experience the freedom of Northern California. The scenery is great. Hike or bike the mountain - the newest trail in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park overlooks Calistoga and the Napa Valley. Touch and feel the great outdoors, listen to the animals, breathe the cleanest air in the State, relax with an exquisite touch massage from Greta, and then end your perfect day with a memorable meal at a local restaurant in either Calistoga or Middletown. Visit some of our unique, beautiful, award-winning wineries in a casual atmosphere without tour buses and crowds. Try wine tasting at Lake Counties’ newest wineries or sample the wines from some of California's oldest vines at Langtry Estate and Vineyards. There's great local dining at Boar's Breath Restaurant. If you’re the physically adventurous type, visit Crazy Creek Air Adventures for soaring, jumping and barnstorming. Have you ever visited an Alpaca Ranch? Here's your opportunity! Visit Alpaca Acres Ranch for alpacas and the products of their silky fibers.

We're only ten minutes away from Harbin Hot Springs where you can soak, sun, and heal. If you want to get away from the crowds and just do day trips, our accommodations are comfortable with children and we welcome and have special rates for workshop participants.
