What can I say....Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank you for creating a sacred space with fantastic views. My husband and I enjoyed the peacefulness, the sunsets, breakfast on the deck, and most of all the amazing sound of the ocean when we went to sleep. We also enjoyed Cooks Beach.
Thanks again for offering your beautiful home.

I have been to many amazing places in the United States and Europe, but I have to admit-this is one of my favorites.

Hi Noren,

I wanted to thank you for renting your wonderful home to my husband and me for the last nine days. We were mesmerized by the expansive views and the absolute feeling of serenity sitting high on the bluff. Your home is beautiful and very comfortable. We came home feeling like we had been on vacation!

Again, thank you for the use of your beautiful home.

The six people in our group all agree this was the nicest home we've ever stayed in. Scenery was breathtaking, decor was beautiful... relaxing comfortable. It's sad to leave but we hope to be back again. On a scale from 0 to 10(great), this is an 11.

Noren, The care in design and construction of this fine house provided a delightful retreat for us in a delightful little town. The wonderful solitude and the sweeping ocean views have been such a treat for us each day. Every feature we discovered each day provided new enjoyment-from the BBQ and handsome deck, furniture, to the best bed we have ever slept in! Your discriminating taste and style shows. You have provided all the needs a family requires for a most enjoyable time. Your dining table provided a beautiful vista for each nights sunset over our dinner. Terrific views.

We return here again and LOVE IT! What a nice place to celebrate my B-day. We caught a surfing competition yesterday, went to the local farmer's market and enjoyed walking on the beach.
Thanks for the basket of goodies!
I will return.
Cheers,

A moment " somewhere in time"!
We are celebrating our Thanksgiving with family. This will truly hold memories to be cherished because of the beauty and serenity this home offers.
As our last evening comes to an end, the crescent moon lights the horizon, dusted with billows of ocean fog and two stars light the sky.
There are truly no words ...except serenity and meditation of your soul.
As I sit on my bench outside the master suite, I find balance within nature, taking me away, giving me a sense calmness of the mind.
My family around me, the ravens soaring in the morning air peacefully tumbling in the up draft, waves pounding and spray and foam showing the power our ocean has to offer-again truly my moment in time!
Thank you for allowing us to experience such a beautiful home.

Thanks for opening your beautiful home to us. The views are breathtaking, the weather was just wonderful, it was so nice to get close to nature-the birds, the deer, and whales at the ocean. Our six year old daughter loved the tree swing the best.
Wishing you all the best.

Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful house with us. We enjoyed every aspect of it... the awesome views, the decks with wonderful teak furniture, your well layed-out kitchen, very!! comfortable beds, the fireplaces, master bath, etc. We saw deer at the windows, sea lions at the rocks and a spray from a whale. Had drop dead gorgeous weather... and were charmed by Gualala. The Surf supermarket is fabulous too.
We'll have to plan a trip some other year for the spring. This was a great way to see-in my 50th birthday.
Sincerely,

Bernadette, Steve, Susie, Jim, Maria and Alan.

What a beautiful home you have built with attention to detail and well thought out. Love the sweeping views. Noren, your artwork is unbelievable. You have a real gift. My children enjoyed their stay, and we shall return. We enjoyed seeing a mama deer and her baby out back by the swing. Last night we saw several whale sprayings in the distance. Cooks beach is nice and close. It was perfect for a last minute retreat before the craziness of school begins and we needed it so much.

Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.
The views of the waves were amazing and we're finally able to relax. We can tell this home is a labor of love-just amazing.

We are bittersweet...there is so much to return home to but we are sad to leave this paradise. Your home is amazing...and I keep forgetting to tell you how much we have enjoyed your artwork. I'd love to hear more about your pieces...especially the works displayed under glass...very nice. We were looking for a getaway...a place to contemplate, meditate and plan the 'next' phase of our project. This home was more than we could have imagined. How fortunate we are when our expectations are met in this life...and here, ours were exceeded!

Many thanks for your hospitality!

We are back in SA. This is the first time EVER in all of our years of traveling that I haven't been glad to get home...I honestly could have stayed in your beautiful home another month!
I'm going through Gualala withdrawal I think.

Take care,

A truly glorious place come sun, rain, hail, winds or mist. Enough to inspire to right poetry, good times and restful reflection.

Thank you!

We hope to come back soon.
