Surfing retreat in Costa Rica is our first trip, amiright?

With my large husband, I don't want to pay big bucks to stay in a bed smaller than I have at home, and there are many people like me.Hi Lauren,I love the green.If you want a little more floor room at the foot end.Maybe lose the foot board and bed frame and use a metal under frame under the mattress and the fasten the headboard to the wall.I took your (summer cozy PHX room and and did a mock up of a cozy ski theme (I know you're in PHX but the thread is a about a ski retreat and your's looks good as is for a hot climate).Good Luck!

But.. this is California and if it's not a retreat, you can't put prisoners in it. 

Example 1 this past weekend we were at a marriage retreat and the tenant called me twice in 5 minutes and then called my husband who answered in the middle of the conference.

Purchase price: $1,040,000 Cash invested: $350,000 Sale price: $1,940,000 Contributors: Samira Mahjoub Tapia Turned a mid-century property in Ladera Heights into a stylish Palm-Springs inspired retreat.

It could however work really well for an executive retreat.

We have a 2 flat with a crawl space and when I sent our plumber down there to repair a sewer issue he sent me pictures of 15-25 rat burrows under this building and he saw them all retreat into the burrows when they shined light on it. 

I've often considered a Country Inn with wedding venue, or a host of other things (craft weekends, fitness, small retreats, or ?)

The real estate retreat that I attended touched on self directed IRA which I found  to be interesting.
