In the summer the stream dries and we use the pool for cooling off.

Laguna
Laguna Lodge is a modernized, traditional old farm cottage with adobe walls ,which has been extended into a same era barn creating a modern spacious living area. With two master suites ,with private bathroom and two double bedrooms . There is also a Sauna suite and bathroom , and a swimming pool. We have tried hard to retain the traditional feel to this lodge, keeping the adobe walls and old doors and windows . We have retained the high ceilings in the main living area, ensuring a cool and relaxed atmosphere. As you can see from ther picture opposite the Laguna Lodge is nearly ready, just some finishing touches needed. It makes a large lodge. A quick word about out climate .we are in a unique micro climate here,which means we get the hot summers of the central valley, but the temperature are moderated by our closeness to the ocean. Cool breezes are the norm,and at night you may even need a blanket, even in summer. Add to that very little humidity and you are looking at a near perfect climate! (I Think :-) These photos taken in April, just look at that gorgeous blue sky. |
