This vacation house belongs to a brother and sister who
inherited it from their parents. It has been loved. There are some photos and
items around that reveal that this is a place they enjoyed. I believe the
original owners were from Wisconsin. Everything is decorated in southwestern
style with the bright colored rugs and pottery and old wood trunks and well
used probably antique tables. It is not elegant but very comfortable and sits
on a wooded lot up against a hillside.
The trees are tall so the house must
date to the 1980s or so. There are tall bushes lining the driveway and patio
that are oleanders. I looked them up and they apparently bloom all summer long.
Someone lovingly planted all those bushes and trees because no other yard
around the neighborhood has them.
Penelope loves the large yard which is all fenced and
surrounds the ranch style house on three sides.
The kitchen is a bit dated but fully stocked with everything
a cook needs and there is a nice grill just off the dining room too. There were
tons of brochures about attractions and maps out in the kitchen for us to look
over when we arrived.
There is a pellet stove that we use on cold mornings and evenings rather than just cranking up the furnace. The flame is like a fireplace. The bathrooms are small but not bad, just not the big spa
like bathrooms that people demand today. The house is semi-rural so we get to
drive by orchards and fields and irrigation trenches on our way into town. It
is great!
Here are some photos from our first day.
