More than a peaceful retreat, this stay offered a chance to be surrounded by art, creativity, and craftsmanship. Linda and Jim are true artists with a lifetime of stories, experiences, and work that have touched many people’s lives. One of the highlights was learning about their artistic journey and seeing how deeply their pottery is woven into the space and the experience. If you stay here, don’t miss the pottery class. Creating something with your own hands under the guidance of lifelong artists is a rare and memorable experience. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and with a deeper appreciation for the role that art and creativity can play in our lives.
