The space Looking for a quiet, rustic refuge, surrounded by a seasonal garden? Look no further…we are your tribe! Our property is home to an orchard (20 + citrus trees fruiting in winter...plus apples, nectarines, peaches, apricots, pomegranates and more, fruiting in spring/summer/fall). Our garden meanders around the front and back w loganberries, blackberries, and more! There are 2 larger homes and our 275 sqft Bird Nest Cottage on our 1.3 acre property. We live in one home, a stone's throw from the cottage. Guest access At your “bird nest cottage”, you will be just minutes away from Napa Valley's "Home Town": iconic St. Helena. You will have your own private entrance with free, off-road parking, to conveniently come and go on your timetable. If you are looking for solitude and a place to rejuvenate, look no further! The Bird Nest Cottage has 2 small, dedicated workspace options (which will accommodate a small oak desk), with space for a laptop and more. Please let us know if you will be working while here, + would prefer the small additional desk or would prefer to just work from the larger table, already in place. CELL phone reception: ATT and VERIZON have very good reception on the hill, and the cottage has fast WIFI/Internet which should work for most others when you are home... If there is a power outage, the cottage is equipped with a whole home generator. In the occasional event that we should lose internet reception, the local St. Helena Library and St. Helena RoCo (Roasting Company- with various hot + cold drinks, and pastry options) are inviting, cozy places with internet. After a brief tour, make yourselves at home in several rustic outdoor areas (available in good weather): Have brunch on your patio under the gazebo, and lunch behind the cottage with views of our thornless blackberry vines and scampering squirrels. Enjoy a picnic supper in our little backwoods, serenaded by woodpeckers and crows, in the shade of oaks and evergreens. Because we are a rural community, you may hear ducks, roosters, and dogs in the distance. You may even hear a coyote or two at night, howling across the way, and frogs down in the hollow! We do have other wild animals that may cross the property from time to time, like possum, fox, skunk, and racoon, but these are usually at night! Of course, the song of birds is continually wafting across the breeze. We have a carefree garden which we affectionately call our “Wild Child”, with an abundance of swallowtail butterflies, honey bees, bumble bees, and all sorts of birds. We will HaPpiLy deliver to your door: bouquets, fruit, veggies, and assorted sizes and colors of heirloom tomatoes, when in season! We have found gardening to be such amazing therapy! Other things to note CAUTIONS: The entry walkway and other paths on the property have a few uneven spots here and there, so we recommend only those with good balance + eyesight traverse them. Sadly, the doorways of this older cottage are too narrow to accommodate a wheelchair. Those with bee allergies: our garden attracts many bees. We have never been stung, and consider our bees a huge and wonderful asset! They mysteriously appear each morning from somewhere we know not.. work hard all day dusting themselves in pollen + nectar… and then just as quickly disappear...buzzing home as the sun sets… we love our hardworking helpers!
