Singing Winds and Peace

Rustic elegance with the addition of a spiritual vibe, wind chimes and prayer flags bring the feeling of the outdoors as an element for the attention. Kale had earned a top rating as a host for all of the best reasons, responsiveness, kindly accommodating and generous. Thank you Kale, we accomplished my business in Paonia with smooth comfort.

A true treat

We absolutely loved staying at Kale's cottage and I have no doubt we will return in the future! I love Paonia and the North Fork Valley and this stay reflected a lot of what I love about the area. It is homey and magical and down to earth. I didn't realize how big the yard is when booking it and that was such a nice surprise! Thank you Kale for hosting us!

A block away

I love this spot. It’s just a block away from my daughter’s small home and provides us all a measure of relaxation during a visit to Paonia. I’ve now visited in winter and summer, the space and yard are a little sanctuary both seasons.

Private, in town cottage

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the private yet close to town aspect. There are many great restaurants and a brewery a short distance away. We took a wine tour as the region had many great wineries. Breakfast may or may not be available at restaurants but cooking requirements are there so no problem.
