OUR RENTERS Since this is our home that we are renting, PLEASE send us an email telling us about yourselves, this will help us find the best fit. Some of our previous tenants who seemed to be a good fit were two couples who could have their own separate living spaces on the top and bottom floors but shared the common spaces in the middle. We are open to what might work for people. This is a beautiful and unique place and we are looking for responsible people who appreciate living close to nature and the gardens and will treat our property with care.
