Guest Access

Guests may use the kitchen to store food, make drinks and to prepare meals by arrangement. The living room is available for your relaxation, reading, playing the piano and listening to music. The dining room may be used to serve meals or for working on the computer. Doors from the guest-room and dining room open onto a tropical, secluded patio and pool.

Interaction with Guests

I am a laid-back host willing to help with your trip but will absolutely respect your space and privacy. Some guests like to have a drink together on the patio. Others need peace and quiet just to relax and chill. I have been a gay activist and scholar since the late 1960's and am writing my memoirs. I welcome input, but your privacy will be respected if you just want to hang out at the pool or read and listen to music in the salon.
