Exchange Zones

Hello. Are you interested in exchanging your home in or near Victoria for ours on the scenic California coast 240 km/150 miles north of San Francisco? We’d like to stay in your home for 5 to 7 nights June 3-9, 2013.
We could do a simultaneous exchange, with you staying in our home at the same time we are in your home, or a non-simultaneous exchange, with you staying in our separate guest cottage nearly anytime that fits your schedule. It’s your choice.
(If this exchange does not interest you, but you know people who may be interested, please pass this on to them. Thank you.)

We live on the Mendocino Coast in a beautiful rural area just 2 km/1.5 miles from Pacific Ocean on 5 hec/13 acres of gardens, meadows and redwood forests with sheep, horses and llamas next door on a quiet, dead-end, paved road. We are 8 km/5 miles from the coastal village of Albion, 19 km/12 mi from historically preserved Mendocino (an art, food & wine lovers paradise), and 30 km/20 mi from Fort Bragg’s fishing harbor, several Anderson Valley wineries, and two spectacular virgin redwood forest preserves.
Our 160 sq m/1500 sq ft home has 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms with queen-size beds, an office, and a south facing, sun-filled living room, dining room and kitchen. Just outside is a large beflowered deck with a hot tub, water garden and grape arbor for shading. Beyond that are extensive flower and vegetable gardens, then meadows and forest. More details & many photos can be viewed at: http://tw.mcn.org/HomeExchange
Our guest cottage is clean and quiet with a queen bedroom, bathroom (tub & shower), comfy sunny living room, small kitchen and deck. Deer & wild turkeys frequent the meadow in front, and at night what you usually hear most is the distant ocean serf. More details & many photos can be viewed at: http://www.QuietMeadowCottage.com
To guarantee clean accommodations, no smoking or pets are allowed inside either building. And since I am allergic to pets, we cannot exchange if dogs or cats occupy your home. A car exchange is desirable but not necessary. Below are two web sites with general tourist info about our Mendocino Coast region.

Please let us know if this exchange might interest you.
