Birdsong's top floor starts in the overstory. Tree lovers listen to the whispering maples from the queen's canopy 4 poster bed. Breathe mountain air with hoots of the barred owls at dusk and dawn to call your dreams and wake your joy.
Lofty relaxations continue into the meditation/yoga space next to the TreeHouse room. An infrared sauna can be added to this space upon request. Across the hall features a bathroom with skylights to see starlight. The soaking tub for two is a nirvana-like experience. Rest assured knowing chlorine is foreign to spring-fed, solar-heated agua. Easy access to the bathroom at night for these two bedrooms, but watch your head because the room is made for the nimble and aware and is not a standard-height room.
The Sky bedroom also shares this top floor. The queen bed is sequestered with two twin beds making it a sleepover. Casement windows open to the scents of the gardens below with views of the mountains & meadows. Listen carefully; to hear the magic hum of the bee song.

Large full bathroom on the main floor with rain shower & ceramic seat, sink, and toilet. The house's spring-fed water has been tested & filtered. Discover the taste of the most delicious water on earth.
Downstairs leads to a private space that feels like the understory of the forest. Two bedrooms on the bottom floor house the Butterfly room and the Hummingbird room, both with queen beds. We chose names to reflect the feeling of the sound of the pollinators. Quiet, secluded, private entrance to the gardens and parking. Views of forest, stream, and meadows.
Joining these two bedrooms is an open space to run on a treadmill or relax garden/twin lounger. Perfect kickback area for gamers with a flat-screen TV.
