Rachel

Owner

English
We are a couple of young folks with old fashioned tastes. We enjoy hospitality, learning obscure things, and extreme DIY projects. David has a passion for tools, and Rachel thinks that comes in handy. Rachel is an artist, and David enjoys her traditional style. Rachel homeschools the children during the day, and David has a large homemade telescope, so you might catch us outside after dark admiring Saturn or Jupiter.
We have young kids, so we usually go to bed and get up early. As long as we are awake, we'll address any guest messages ASAP.
David can speak Cantonese; Rachel was once fairly fluent in ASL but has sadly forgotten much of it.
