Services or products you offer: A boutique hotel housed in a lovingly restored 1888 landmark; each themed room blends historical charm with a bold, contemporary twist. 

Fun fact about your company: The hotel was constructed in 1888 as lodging for lumberjacks; it was the second structure built in Camino!  

Customer service is: All about being kind, saying yes when possible, and finding solutions that create a win-win for everyone. 

You started your business, because: Buying a boutique hotel was the next goal in my real estate journey. I’ve been managing and investing in short-term rentals in Hawaii for the last nine years; this hotel was just what I was looking for as my next adventure.  

Most memorable experience as an entrepreneur: Meeting guests from all over the world; I’ve made some great connections and friendships throughout my years of hosting.  

First job: Bussing tables at a local restaurant in Canada when I was 14. 

Favorite food: I love trying new culinary dishes but can never get enough Mexican food.  

Favorite local restaurant: I love the menu, vibe, and service at Blue Barn Provisions and visit almost every weekend! 

Favorite local event: Delfino Farms’ Folk on the Farm—great music, food, wine, and dancing. It makes for a perfect evening and is only 10 minutes from the hotel.  

When not working, you can be found: Wine tasting! 

You love living here, because: Our community and the people in it are amazing. Being surrounded by wonderful wine, beer, cider, and events is a bonus.
