Our gardens were originally designed by an arborist that had an extensive knowledge and a wonderful passion for rhododendron plant species, overflowing with a large variety of rhododendron species which bloom into a fabulous floral fruition from March through May. A visit at other times of the year has so much more in our gardens to enjoy all year round including spring bulbs, fruit trees, large cedar and fir trees and homegrown vegetables for guests to enjoy.

Soaring eagles, resident hummingbirds and that occasional hot air balloon from the Patio! A truly bucolic experience yet so close to the city and other amenities.

The Little Barn is set back from the main house and is wrapped around by the open farm field. The Little Barn is the original classic red barn and is rented separately from the main Mountain View House. It will occasionally be rented out to another guest, extended family booking the main Mountain View House or have the homeowners staying in it during guests stays in the main Mountain View House.
