If you are feeling hearty you can start the hike without any driving straight from the farm house. You are going to love being here! It is incredibly beautiful & wonderfully peaceful! Listen to the creek flowing & the birds singing and the breeze blowing. The sunsets down the valley & the brilliant once in a lifetime views of the stars in the night-sky are awe-inspiring.

The apartment does have a separate outside entrance and Matt will be very respectful of your presence in the house and your right to privacy and a quiet and non-intrusive Retreat stay. But he will be happy to chat with you about the area or answer questions you might have or help you out in any way that he can while you're there.I have found Matt to be an exceptional young man - very mature, responsible, considerate and friendly.
