You can walk out the door to the left and head into town on foot in 20-25 min or bike (7-10min) without every going onto the busy River Road - and the pedestrian only bridge is a treat to cross on your way to a morning cafe :) Or you can walk out the door to the right and in 2 minutes be strolling past the quaint homes of Melody Lane for an evening "passeggiata." From there you can loop back home or continue alongside the Korbel vineyards on your way to Drake beach - a beautiful area that has been dedicated as a private beach for members of the community to use. And finally for the adventurous ones, you can kayak (or if the water is low walk) across the river to enjoy some food at Farmhand or a drink at Stumptown Brewery. This is what the owners enjoy doing at least a few times a week :)!
