Our pond, fed by the Laurel Springs, is a pure delight. For the hardy, enjoy a refreshing spring or autumn dip, and for everyone else, delight in its soft cooling waters for the 5 months of summer. Given the highest score for purity in a recent test, the pond offers a clean break from a hot summer day.

Enjoy the canoe, the floating raft and the pond-side ambience any time of the year.

While tipis are not native to the Chumash indians of the area, our tipi, nestled among manzanita and sandstone, nevertheless provides a quiet sanctuary for meditation and reflection.
