we had a blast at orr springs ranch. the setting is awesomely beautiful. we sketched trees, the landscape and the odd expired bug in the yard. our dog was free to roam around in the large fenced area surrounding the house. we explored all over the large ranch and spied on a few dozen wild turkeys who were laying low during the roasting season. we set up a slalom course for scooters and skateboards in the big open warehouse space on the rainy days. i cooked a great thanksgiving feast on the 6 burner range and the owners accommodated us by supplying extra small appliances. of course we spent plenty of time in the hot tub enjoying the view and took a day trip to mendocino. best of all, though, is the style and aesthetic of the house. it's modern and utilitarian and a welcome change from the country quilts and plaid couches we find at so many vacation rentals. we'll be back.
