A perfect place for a group of families

We stayed here over Christmas week, 2 families in the big house, 1 in the casita. We were 13 people, it's probably best suited for 12. The view is amazing, the breezes kept us comfortable and bug-free, the kitchen is easy for preparing large meals, and you are a short drive away from several fantastic beaches. The poolside is great for lounging and stargazing, and the living room space is comfortable. It was also nice having such great maid service on vacation. The house needs a small tune up: the dishwasher didn't work well, one of the air conditioners was dripping water and the grill would work, but these were the only minor issues, and overall we all loved it and recommend it.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Absolute Perfection! We could not have asked for anything more for our Honeymoon to Costa Rica. Started every day with a cool refreshing dip in the pool, some fresh cut up pineapple, listening to the not-too-distant howler monkeys, and staring off at beautiful Playa Hermosa and wondering what adventure the day had in store! The owners and the Concierge service (Gus - totally helpful and amazing!) have prepared a wealth of information for you to help you decide what to do during your stay at Casa Viento. We loved all the restaurant recommendations and since it was our honeymoon decided to try a lot of them! Our favorite meal was cheap fish tacos and ice cold beers on the beach. Simple and happy. The concierge service went above and beyond to help us get all of our adventures in, and was happy to answer our silly question phone calls any time. We loved our overnight trip to Borenquin (overnight part not required). The thermal pools, mud baths, steam sauna and lagoon style pool were what a honeymoon should be! Truly our favorite day. The next morning we rode horses to a waterfall and then zip lined down the hill - must do! Casa Viento is beautiful, clean, equipped with every modern amenity you might need on vacation, and most importantly - air conditioners in every room! (We're from San Francisco so we tend to overheat easily!) We especially loved the open design that connects the kitchen and dining areas to the back patio and pool with sliding glass doors. At night we were able to watch the most incredible lighting from the cozy master bed. The locks and alarm system made us feel extra safe at night. We're already planning to bring our family with kids here for a family reunion! The location was easy to get to and conveniently close to the beaches, the markets, and some surrounding attractions. It really doesn't get better than this! Thank you to Conrad for making our trip to Costa Rica above and beyond anything we had imagined. S&JDid you find this review helpful?

When my friend asked me to her home I never expected to find a home of such grandeur, yet comfortable peaceful with everything you could ever need or what to have a vacation of a life time . You sit outside and look out on a sites of beauty everywhere!!!Flowers, plants, birds, cactus that reach the heavens and green beauty that hits you and captures you . We swam in a pool and you felt you were part of the surroundings that ran to the Pacific!!! A magnificent view from everywhere in the home . There is so much room and just decorated in fine taste .I truly felt like a Queen for a magical week. Futhermore, the people of Costa Rica are so very kind and helpful. The sites we visited from Playa Hermosa to the volcanoes to zip lining, horseback riding , air bridges over the before rainforest and even a trip to Nicaragua was just incrediable. Food delicious everywhere and shopping and cooking in this amazing kitchen with a view that was breathtaking ... This home has it all and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have experienced staying here.. THANK YOU...Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Oh my gosh, I am going through Casa del Viento withdrawal. This has been, without a doubt, the most amazing vacation of my life. A group of friends decided to go on a "girlfriend" getaway, spending half our time doing tourist-type activities----zip-lining, horse back riding, mud baths, hanging bridge rain-forest walk, shopping trip to Nicaraqua----all of which were SOOOOO much fun! (The owner, Conrad, provides you with recommendations of tour guides, restaurants, and suggestions for just getting around the area). We went with the owner's recommendation of using Bernal for the tours (our own private group, rather than getting stuck in a large tour group) and saw and experienced things I had previously only dreamed of----the other part of our trip, we remained at Casa del Viento. Each of us had our own bedroom with private bath and were blown away with the sumptuous accommodations. The pictures don't even do it justice---simple, but elegant design and the setting can only be described as breathtaking! The views from the eternity pool, gazing out into the Pacific Ocean will always remain imprinted in my memory. Whether sitting poolside, on the veranda, in the serenity garden, or within the spacious quarters, we were able to relax and enjoy each others company. We did have the cook, Rocio prepare an authentic Costa Rican meal for us (as suggested)---but the kitchen is unbelievable and the "cook" in our group was in heaven preparing meals for us as well. Me gusta casa del Viento mucho! Pura Vida----which I found out shortly after my arrival means "pure life"---That it is!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our expectations were quite high for our first visit to Costa Rica, and our vacation exceeded those high expectations, and Casa del Viento was a perfect base for our visit to Costa Rica. My family occupied the house and casita and we all loved the accommodations and amenities, the views, the pool, and the services provided by the Costa Rican people including Rocio of Rocio's Kitchen and Bernal of Tico Tours Guanacaste. Rocio prepared and served a marvelous dinner at the house for our anniversary dinner. Bernal came to the house in the evening on our day of arrival and explained many tour options. The tours we chose: horseback riding, ziplining, and water rafting, were great fun, exciting yet safe, and reasonably priced. We highly recommend Costa Rica, Casa del viento, Rocio's Kitchen, and Tico Tours Guanacaste.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our group of 8 stayed at Casa Del Viento in April 2012. Our group was made up of 5 family and 3 friends. The property pictures were well represented and accurate. The location and the view is fantastic. From the patio/pool area you have a beautiful view of the Papagayo Bay looking towards the Four Seasons hotel peninsula location. The weather was wonderful, it only rained one night while we were there. Every morning, around 5:15 or so, you could hear howler monkeys in the hills nearby. However, we were never able to actually see them. Saw lots of beautiful birds from the patio. Karin and Maria visited every weekday and cleaned up after us. They even washed the towels we used out at the pool for us. The property owner was good about checking with us to insure we were settled in okay. I would recommend this property to any of my friends or family visiting the Papagayo Bay area of Costa Rica. If you stay here, be sure and have Rocio cook dinner for your group one or two nights. The food was excellent, and she just made it a lot of fun with her great presentation of the meal. Also the sunset sail boat cruise and catamaran cruises were lots of fun. Tico Tours did a great job of assisting us with our activities. The younger adults in our group did the Mira Mar zip line and rappell tour and loved it. We did the Palo Verde riverboat wild life tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Check out the Llanos de Cortez waterfall if you're a waterfall lover. Take a picnic. It's worth the hour drive. Also drove to the Rincon de la Vieja volcano park. It's almost 2 hours away and some of the road is quite bumpy so be prepared for that if you go. We did a small 3 1/2 mile or so hike to view the fumaroles, boiling mud pots, and a small waterfall. This was also a fun activity. Overall we had a wonderful time. Pura Vida!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I promise we will earn a "5" from you next time. We are sprucing up the place a bit as we speak. Hope we see you again soon. FYI spent a month sprucing up the place. Whole house repainted, regrouted etc. Your next trip will be a 6

Without a doubt, from the moment I saw the picture of Casa Del Viento on HomeAway, I knew that I had found the place. Making the arrangements to stay there could not have been easier and the owner was always available to answer any questions and provide information about the home. Many of the recommendations that the owner and the concierges suggested were spot on. When we arrived at the gated community, the first adventure is the incline of the hill leading to the house. No problem by car but you begin to realize that you truly have a house that it is on a cliff. The area is stunning. The house was divine. Comfortable for a crowd. Large dining area. Plenty of ammenities to make the stay enjoyable and stress free. The view is almost beyond words. Looking out every day over the ocean was pure joy. Views differed depending on the perspective or time of day. Part Italy, part Carribean, part Los Angeles at night. Fantastical looking birds would fly by and land in the trees or on the fence and we were visited by a lone howler monkey one evening as well. The pool was inviting and there is even a smaller pool for young children. The place is so wonderful on its own, you almost don't have to leave it but leave it you should. Tours are a must, there is just too much wonderful wild life to experience and too much different landscapes to explore. Use Bernal from Tico Tours. He came to the house and from start to finish, he is informative, funny, well-mannered and he made sure that we would have a first rate experience. One tour involved horse back riding, zip-lining, lunch, sauna, mud bath, and natural hot springs. I highly recommend this tour, especially for those who are adventurous. We also did the boat ride down the river and we were able to witness so much wild life, we even spotted howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, and an anteater just on the ride to the river. Bernal also goes off the beaten path and showed us how some of the young men labor, digging sand from the river bed. It was an honor to see that and educational for my children. In addition to the tours, we also had Rocio's Kitchen come and cook for us. She was absolutely delightful and the food was wonderful. We also explored several beaches and would highly recommend taking the one hour drive south to Tamarindo. Beautiful beach, lovely places to dine overlooking the ocean and plenty of interesting shops. Great place to learn how to surf. The vacation was magical. Truly.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

A group of 10 of us stayed at Casa Del Viento in Playa Hermosa about a week ago and had a great time. The house is huge, it could have easily fit 12 people comfortably. There is a beautiful infinity pool and a great view of the surrounding mountains. The whole compound is gated with a great alarm system and security patrolling the area. We felt totally safe the entire time. Further, each bedroom had it's own bathroom and there were two outdoor lounge areas. The kitchen was large and stocked with everything you would need. There were also maids that would come everyday and worked for hours. It was amazing to come home to a clean house after a long day of activities. It was a perfect vacation house and I would absolutely rent it again. There are a lot of great activities nearby. Guss manages the property and gave us a detailed description of the area and great recommendations. We spent a day deep sea fishing and caught a sailfish among other things. There are many beaches with fun bars and good restaurants. We went whitewater rafting through the jungle which was a blast. We also took a surfing lesson on an almost completely empty beach that was a lot of fun. We ended the trip with a ziplining adventure that I would highly recommend. It's a great house and I would go back in a heartbeat! I definitely give it a 5 star rating.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This is like staying in a Costa Rica villa: it's beautifully furnished, very safe, and the surrounding views are panoramic. Costa Rica gets very hot, especially in the day, but the house is well-regulated by the gulf winds ("viento") which made it always delightful, making the use of the air-conditioning virtually unnecessary. It's less than a 10 minute drive to the beach and restaurants. In other words, we could be as secluded or social as we desired. It's ample enough for several couples, or families with children, as well as having an adjacent guest house, for added privacy. There is a very good "entertainment center" and wifi, so we could always stay connected, when we chose. The swimming pool is big enough for water aerobics, if you're so inclined. I have only positive things to say.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Eleven of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Del Viento on our first trip to Costa Rica. The house and grounds are beautiful and the views are breathtaking at all times of day and night. The Costa Rican people are warm, friendly, and very respectful and we felt at home and safe for our entire two week stay. Gus/Tim, the cleaning staff and pool guy were all gracious, friendly and interesting to talk with. Bernal (Tico Tours) provided great tours, cultural insights, and he was very entertaining. Through and/or with Bernal our group was able to ride horses, zipline, cruise a river, snorkel/sunset cruise, and experience allot of the culture of Costa Rica. The casa is well located and we explored both Hermosa and Coco, drove south to a great beach in Tamarindo and visited a beautiful waterfall. Restaurants are close and very good, plus we had a cook come to the casa where we enjoyed an excellent dinner. We would all recommend Casa Del Viento, everything was as advertised or better, and the people were just great.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Recently, our family celebrated a wedding. Weddings are an ideal time to get the family together and this one was no exception. The wedding was to be held in Playa Hermosa, in the province of Guanacaste, in Costa Rica, which is an amazing place. And, so, the bride and groom secured a home for the bride´s family to rent. We arrived at our ¨wedding/vacation¨ home, ¨CASA DEL VIENTO,¨ and were immediately impressed with the beauty of the completely furnished and air conditioned home. We were there to come together as a family and celebrate a wedding, but, instantly we felt enveloped in a luxury vacation home…it became a family getaway place…millionaire style! Those of us who brought cameras, had to take pictures of this captivating home as pictorial evidence of its wonder. The house boasts of open spaces which allowed the entire family to enjoy each other's company, and yet not be on top of each other! We have elderly family members, so having this simple yet elegant floor plan was a definite plus, as there are two bedrooms on the 1st floor of the main house and in the apartment and therefore, they did not have to painfully risk their joints going up to the second floor. The flexibility of the sleeping quarters catered to all our needs and tastes. The details and the decore of each room, bedroom, closet space and bathroom are wonderful. This gorgeous home is located in a gated residential community in the mountains overlooking the ocean. There is a security guard on 24 hour watch, which we did not feel was necessary but were pleased to know that this added protection is available. The views of the mountains and the ocean are simply breathtaking from Casa del Viento, and although we were visible engulfed in this natural environment, we were also comfortably close, not only to the beach, but also to shopping centers and the night life in Playas del Coco. I feel my family and I were truly blessed to have been able to stay in Casa del Viento….and I have the pictures to prove it!!! I am truly grateful. Sylvia A, M.D.Did you find this review helpful?

The Casa Del Viento was fabulous. The pictures do not do it justice. The views are out of this world. It is located next to a gorge with howler monkeys and a waterfall you can swim in (enter through community on the opposite side of the gorge). Very private. Management team was very helpful in all manners from scheduling expeditions to taking care of small issues at the house quickly. Cleaning service was super. Birding from the pool was great, hummingbirds and parrots, earthquake was a special treat but we're told they are not guaranteed :). A short day trip to the cloud forest where we saw sloths and tucans and many many types of hummingbirds. My siblings won't stop talking about it! We will be back!

We have just returned from an 8 day stay at Casa del Viento, "house of wind." A dear friend told us about this incredibly well designed, maintained, and appointed house on the Pacific Northwest coast of Costa Rica. Work, kids, school, and the daily grind, she said --- it's truly a place you can escape to. Casa del Viento is a "slice of heaven" built into the hillside of a picturesque, gated community called Monte Paraiso near the local beach town of Playa Hermosa. Casa del Viento is a grand home even within its gated community. We arrived late at night in the rain, and were welcomed by friendly security staff at the gate. We were an intergenerational group of 11 including kids and my 94 year old father-in-law. Once settled in, we all felt so comfortable at Casa del Viento, it was difficult to go away on our excursions to raft, zip line, see volcanoes, hot springs, beaches, and so on. The maid service kept the house running effortlessly including doing our laundry. There was also a person who came by to maintain the pool. Gus, the concierge, was always available to answer all our questions! We all enjoyed the pool and Spanish-style veranda overlooking the bay from which we enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets. We watched in fascination the mist of the clouds early in the morning hanging over the lushly vegetated hillside dissipate in the morning sunlight. We also enjoyed sitting by the lit pool at night under a starry sky with the lights of a town twinkling in the distance. There is a natural tranquility at Casa del Viento that restores the soul. In and around the pool garden we enjoyed the resident iguana, singing frogs, geckos, tropical birds, humming birds, and flitting butterflies. The gardens and balconies of the house added to the ambience of escape into luxury. We generally ate family style at the house, buying and cooking local produce and meats bought at nearby produce stands and in town. The kitchen is fully equipped and was a pleasure to use. As my family said, wonderful memories were made at Casa del Viento, a priceless gift to us. Such incredibly nice accommodations shaped our whole experience in Costa Rica in such a positive way it will be a part of our lasting memories. We would definitely return to Casa del Viento. Incidentally, the only winds we experienced there were soothing breezes. Finally, but of importance, the owners of this property were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in assisting us to arrange our stay in Costa Rica.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for taking the time to write this review of Casa Del Viento and we are so glad that your family vacation was a wonder and memorable event. Come again soon.

Spent an unforgettable 3 weeks at Casa del Viento in Guana Caste Costa Rica. The house was beautiful, spacious and had a wonderful housekeeping staff that kept everything clean, welcoming and did laundry service daily, always leaving fresh towels. Gus the concierge was attentive and always available by phone or just down the road at the office to answer any questions and recommend things to do. We took several tours with Outdoor Adventures, including an overnight tour of the arenal volcano, another day tour of ziplining, whitewater tubing, and horseback riding. They also took us to Monteverde, several rainforest and cloudforest tours. They guides were exceptionally knowledgeable about local flora and fauna, took us to local restaurants for great food, and were just a lot of fun! Everyone made us feel welcome, secure and tried to provide an unforgettable experience---we definitely view this as our first trip to Costa Rica, certainly not the last! We had family members come in from all areas of the country and europe---we never felt crowded and the guest house provided a separate escape for the teenagers of the group. The pool was well maintained, and had bushes at the edge with butterflies and hummingbirds. You could hear the monkeys in the morning while sipping coffee on the patio. I would highly recommend this property for your next vacation!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

12 of us spent a week in North West Costa Rica based out of the amazing Casa del Viento. This is a beautiful, clean, spacious home with a great pool and an amazing view of both the bay/ocean and the surrounding hills. You could sit outside in the early morning and watch the beautiful view at sunrise and listen to Howler Monkeys in the forests of the surrounding hills. Absolutely stunning! We went out during the day and would come back to a clean home with clean folded laundry courtesy of the maid who would come 4 hours each day except for Sunday. Guss, our concierge, arranged our arrival despite us arriving very late (about 10 p.m.) He hooked us up with Bernal (Tico Tours) who took us on two different full day tours. One to the Arenal Volcano which included many additions that only a seasoned excellent guide could know about. There were 7 teenagers in our group who were able to swim beneath a huge waterfall that was in the movie "Jurasic Park"! Then authentic food for lunch and then to a nature reserve and then Hot Springs and an authentic dinner. The clouds were low that night so we missed seeing the red lava flows from the Arenal Volcano but the tour was still perfect. Another full day tour included horseback riding, an amazing canopy/zip line experience, authentic lunch at a beautiful restaurant and then hot springs and mud bath experience. The zip lines were amazing. At the start there was a breathtaking waterfall cascading 250 to 300 feet to the canyon below. There were 10 runs with the first 7 going back and forth across the canyon over 300 feet below you. The safety features included a second cable and pulley and even my 86 year old father made the runs by himself!! My mother is 78 years old and went in tandem with one of the guides/operators. Safe, exhilarating but no butterfly/drop sensation. Absolutely an experience for everyone. I do not like heights or a sheer drop off but thoroughly enjoyed this. You left the platform secure and you could control your speed and if you wanted to you could go over 40 mph!! My teenage kids did that and then some! The longest run was over 2000 feet long. We even went through one area of the rainforest canopy with 20 or more Howler Monkeys. By their reactions as I zipped by, I am not sure who was more entertained, them or me! The rest of the time we went to beaches and scuba dived one day. It was a wonderful stay and could not have had a nicer place to stay! On a scale of 1:10, a 12!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My family and i just returned from a wonderful week at Casa del Viento. If you want that true luxurious, vacation feeling, along with the comforts of home, then this is the place for you. The house sits atop a very steep hill overlooking a panoramic view of the beatiful mountains and Gulf of Papagayo. The patio, (where we spent a great deal of time) and the infinity pool overlook the calming waters of the gulf, and the mountain. The sights and sounds of nature are with you throughout the day, from the lovely hummingbirds, to the lush greenery, to screeching of the monkeys in the distance. We spent a lot of time reading, playing scrabble and napping and watching the everchanging landscape and the spectacular pink and purple sunsets. If you want adventure spend some time at Rincon de la Vieja National Forest. We took on the challenge of the zip line, rode horseback to a beautiful waterfall where we went swmimming in cool, clear water. We hiked on another day and saw the volcanic boiling mud pots - very interesting! We also went beach hopping, one of the nicest beaches was Playa Ocatal, try lunch and cocktails at Father Roosters, very good! The house is very well equipped. If you choose to cook, the kitchen has everything you need. Should you choose to have dinner out, ther are many local restaurants with varied cuisines. The concierge staff was most helpful, and answered our queries quickly. The cleaning staff came every day but the weekend, they were quick and efficient, the house was always clean. The Costa Rican people are very warm, kind and genuine. I would absoulutely, highly recommend this property to family and friends. I can't wait to go back again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My newlywed husband and I ventured out to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. When we arrived to Casa Viento in Playa Hermosa we were at an aw with the beauty of the place we were about to stay in for two weeks. We definately found ourselves running around the house looking into each room feeling the costa rican rhythm to the home. We enjoyed the home everyday we were there. Laying by the pool which over looked mountains, for us it was a sight to remember. We really enjoyed every minute of the stay, it was really hard to say good-bye. The time we had in the casa was memorable and the best for us on our honeymoon. We also felt secure there with the alarmed home and the guarded gate. We really felt at home here, the costa rican people were very generous and friendly. Avispa tours was the group we used to go zip lining, horseback riding, mud bathing and so much more. The tour group was found by the owner and David at rentals. We had such a good time on the tours, eating at resturants, going to Playa Coco, the list can go on. I would definately recommend this place to anyone. Pura Vida!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at Casa Del Viento for a week and by the end of the trip wished we had stayed for two! The house has a few different views, each one is more amazing than the next. From one side of the house you are looking out into the serene waters with a volcano in the distance. On the other side of the house you are overlooking the mountains which inhabits the Howler Monkeys. Every morning we would listen to them in the distance while we drank our coffee on the balcony. The house was so relaxing that we couldn't peel ourselves away from it for the first two days. We would hang out in the infinity pool and watch as tons of butterflies and humming birds pass through the yard. We walked to Hermosa Beach for lunch and some frozen drinks followed by a swim in the crystal clear water. We hiked around the shore and found a cozy spot where the water ran off from the mountain into the ocean and got an incredible video of the Monkeys passing by in the trees. There wasn't a single time throughout the trip that we found ourselves bored. There are plenty of excursions; it you enjoy sight seeing you can take a trip to the volcano in Arenal and if you need an adrenaline rush the surfing at Witches Rock is not for the faint of heart.

11 Questions With Ashlyn Harris
Dec. 12, 2011
The USA's top young goalkeeper has been playing with the U.S. Youth National Teams for years. In fact, Ashlyn Harris helped the USA win the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Cup when she was just 16 years old. Now at age 25, although she is still waiting for her first senior team cap, she's older, wiser and a lot more worldly. Harris sat down with ussoccer.com to answer 11 questions about her great WPS season, training with some of the top goalkeepers in the world and her dream job (besides being a professional goalkeeper, of course).

Live Like Carrie! Sarah Jessica Parker's Village Townhouse Yours for $25 M.
Maybe sitting on a townhouse stoop turned out to be less fun for the real life Carrie than the one she plays on T.V.? Especially when such trips were accompanied not by insights into love and life but the constant flash of paparazzi cameras. SJP and husband Matthew Broderick have listed their five-story, 25-foot-wide townhouse at 20 East 10th Street.

In the official magazine of the Naval Institute, Frank Koch reported on a very unusual encounter at sea. A battleship was coming in for maneuvers in heavy weather. Shortly after the sun went down, the lookout reported light in the distance, so the Captain had the signalman send a message, "We're on a collision course. Advise you change your course 20 degrees."

It's a really neat Minnesota Sports site that I would encourage you to check out and bookmark if you like it. Anyway, we had a nice chat and it now is on a podcast at their site. We spent time talking about the 2007 Twins season, the pitchers, and what is next. It was a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to let me know what you think.

It has been brought to my attention that Jimmie, N9VXQ whose website says his 10-10 number was 73565 has become a Silent Key. He was the Net Control for the (Indiana) Boone County Amateur Radio Association 2-meter net and involved in a number of Amateur organizations and causes. I don't know how long his website will stay up but it is an interesting visit: http://www.n9vxq.org
I never met Jimmie personally even thought he was only a county or two away from me; as a Net Control for the Tippecanoe County (Indiana) 2-meter net, he and I had developed a working relationship to support each other's net and encourage our members to check in to the other net.
He struck me as a good guy and a good ham.......now working "Heaven's HamShack".

Council voted to extend the Permissive Tax Exemption (PTE) for the Lions Villa seniors housing complex through 2013, but will revisit the issue next summer before granting another.
PTEs waive municipal taxes for non-profit entities with criteria set out in the Community Charter.
The Lions Club approached the village with another PTE request for the facility, which now has an inventory of 30 units after 22 more were completed this year. The new units have yet to be assessed or taxed, so no revenue would be lost via the exemption, but a staff report estimated village taxes would exceed $7,000.
Council wrestled with the decision on a couple of fronts. Coun. Ted Craddock highlighted the significant village contributions to the project to date and questioned if the facility was �an extension of municipal services� as set out in the PTE criteria.
However, he also noted the Lions Club�s major investment into the project, as the group borrowed $100,000 to cover the facility�s final costs when B.C. Housing said the 22-unit project exceeded its budget. Considering that, council questioned if it was fair to tax the group at this time.
�That�s going to put the burden on the Lions Society,� said Coun. James Linklater.
Timing was ultimately the deciding factor, as the PTE must be granted by Oct. 31 to be applicable to 2013. A special meeting will be required to pass the exemption in time.
Council also passed a motion requesting the Lions Club provide a report by June if it intends to seek a PTE for 2014 and beyond.
Frontage fees apply to all
Pemberton landowners are still required to pay water and sewer frontage taxes regardless of whether they�re connected to those systems, council determined during its Tuesday meeting.
Local resident Mary Van De Wetering, whose property is not connected to the village�s water and sewer lines, had her request to waive her frontage fees denied by council, which supported a staff recommendation to not make the exception.
Van De Wetering wrote a letter, received by council last month, requesting that her frontage fees be waived since she is not connected.
In a report to council, manager of finance Nikki Gilmore explained that all properties are taxed regardless if they are hooked up to water and sewer mains and waiving the fees for one property could be a precedent-setting decision.
�This tax is a direct correlation to the village�s annual debt payment obligations and is charged on a set dollar-per-metre of frontage,� said the report.
Van De Wetering�s property faces a unique challenge because of its location across Highway 99 from the industrial park, which would require a connection under the road at great expense.
However, the staff report said there are no allowances in Pemberton�s bylaws to waive the fees due to high connection costs, adding that even properties with statutory tax exemptions such as St. David�s Church are required to pay the frontage taxes.
The staff recommendation was supported unanimously.
Snow must be cleared
Owners and tenants with snowy sidewalks in front of their properties will have to clear them by 7 a.m., according to the Boulevard Maintenance Bylaw that received first three readings on Tuesday.
However, the village will still be clearing the sidewalks on major �arterial routes� as set out in the Snow and Ice Removal Policy that will likely be approved later this month.
The draft bylaw came to council specifying that only commercial properties were required to shovel sidewalks, but the wording was changed to put the onus on all properties. Both Mayor Jordan Sturdy and Craddock said it would be �cumbersome� to define in legislation where the village is responsible for snow removal.
Final reading is anticipated at the Oct. 16 council meeting.

Its performance is typical of a netbook, but Asus has found other ways to make the Eee PC 1005HA Seashell stand out from the crowd. While the 1005HA sports a good keyboard and an appealing design, the real star of the show is its fantastic battery life Read more

Samsung N140 review
Although the 10.1-inch N140 doesn't bring anything new to the netbook table, we can't knock it. Solidly built and attractively designed, its outstanding feature is its 10-hour battery life. Look no further if you want a reasonably priced netbook that can last all day away from the mains Read more

Sony Vaio Mini W series (VPCW11S1E) review
The 10.1-inch Vaio Mini W series VPCW11S1E offers typical netbook performance for a relatively lofty price. But it also offers the excellent construction and design that's typical of Sony, as well as a 1,366x768-pixel, high-definition display. Overall, it's an attractive package Read more

Elonex ONEt+ review
With a rock-bottom price tag and plasticky design, we were all set to hate the 7-inch, Debian Linux-based ONEt+ netbook. But we couldn't. Surprisingly responsive, and very small and light, it's a great choice for children and undemanding adults seeking a straightforward ultra-portable Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 review
The 10.2-inch IdeaPad S10-2 netbook is a worthwhile update to the popular S10. Although Lenovo's jettisoned the ExpressCard slot, the S10-2 sports a pleasingly slim design, decent keyboard and performance, and very good battery life, making it a respectable netbook overall Read more

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 review
The 10-inch Inspiron Mini 10 isn't as slim as some netbooks and its trackpad isn't much cop, but it compensates with an excellent keyboard and a great high-resolution display. It also delivers relatively speedy performance and is available in a number of eye-catching designs Read more

Toshiba NB200 review
Toshiba's second entry into the netbook arena, the 10.1-inch NB200, is a valiant effort. It ticks all the netbook boxes, as well as offering a couple of very welcome extra features, like a shock-protected hard drive and a USB port that lets you charge mobile devices even when the NB200's turned off Read more

Acer Aspire One D250 review
The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 netbook fixes some of the most serious flaws of its predecessor, the D150 -- the touchpad buttons are greatly improved and it sports a thinner, lighter design. While there's nothing ground-breaking on offer here, it's a respectable netbook nonetheless Read more

Eee PC 1101HA review
The Eee PC 1101HA, Asus' first 11-inch hyper-portable, challenges traditional netbook perceptions with a large screen and an equally sizeable keyboard, though its low price is more familiar. The extra inch on the screen means higher resolution and more screen real estate, and its battery life is nothing short of prodigious Read more

Secretary Sebelius calls on insurance companies to drop unreasonable rate hikes
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today that health insurance premium increases in nine states have been deemed "unreasonable" under the rate review authority granted by the Affordable Care Act.
"Thanks to the Affordable Care Act consumers are no longer in the dark about their health insurance premiums," said Secretary Sebelius. "Now, insurance companies are required to justify rate increases of 10 percent or higher. It's time for these companies to immediately rescind these unreasonable rate hikes, issue refunds to consumers or publicly explain their refusal to do so."
Secretary Sebelius also released a new report today showing that, six months after HHS began reviewing proposed health insurance rate increases, consumers are already seeing results. Since the rate review program took effect in 2011, health insurers have proposed fewer double-digit rate increases. Furthermore, more states have taken an active role in reducing rate increases, and consumers in all states are getting straight answers from their insurance companies when their rates are raised by 10 percent or more. As of March 10, 2012, the justifications and analysis of 186 double-digit rate increases for plans covering 1.3 million people have been posted at HealthCare.gov, resulting in a decline in rate increases. According to the report, in the last quarter of 2011 alone, states reported that premium increases dropped by 4.5 percent, and in states like Nevada, premiums actually declined.
In the decisions announced today, HHS determined, after independent expert review, that two insurance companies have proposed unreasonable health insurance premium increases in nine states—Arizona, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The excessive rate hikes would affect over 42,000 residents across these nine states.
In these nine states, the insurers have requested rate increases as high as 24 percent. These increases were reviewed by independent experts to determine whether they are reasonable. In this case, HHS determined that the rate increases were unreasonable, because the insurer would be spending a low percentage of premium dollars on actual medical care and quality improvements, and because the justifications were based on unreasonable assumptions.
Most rates are reviewed by states and many states have the authority to reject unreasonable premium increases. Since the passage of the health care law, the number of states with this authority increased from 30 to 37, with several states extending existing "prior authority" to new markets.
The report released today shows that:
This initiative is one of many in the health care law to ensure that insurance companies play by the rules, prohibiting them from dropping coverage when a person gets sick, billing consumers into bankruptcy through annual or lifetime limits, and, soon, discriminating against anyone with a pre-existing condition.
Information on the specific determinations made today is available at: http://companyprofiles.healthcare.gov/

Our Beagles at the Joy House
We love our Joy House fur kids, and so do our guests. So we dedicate this web page on the Joy House B and B site to Luther, Aurora, and Barclay, the three amazing Beagles who make the Joy House joyful, fun, and surprising.
Aurora |
Luther |
Barclay - our latest addition |

Occasionally, our three pack of beagles expands to six with a visit from the beagle cousins from Philadelphia, Gus, Maggie, and Finnegan; and the two Michigan cousins, Abby and Riley show up on special occasions and suddenly we are an 8 pack. Fortunately this only occurs when the B and B is closed for the winter months.
Finnegan a.k.a. Gargantuar |
Gus short for Asparagus |
Lady Margaret |
Sweet Abby |
Riley, a Doberman Coon Hound |
Our Beagle kids remind us that there is only one rule at the Joy House … Beagles rule!

Update: Oct. 8 – Long Term Update
I have 5000 miles on the Crosstrek now and I've fielded many questions at the trailhead from folks asking about the car. So this seems like a good time to update this review.
Bike Hauling Abilities
Bottom line, this is what the car is for and it has performed the task admirably. I either use a Yakima HoldUp rack or a 1UpUSA hitch rack and the car works well with either one. Since the Crosstrek is high off the ground, the rack is elevated too and has no issues bottoming out whatsover on steep parking lots or rough dirt roads.
Currently, I actually prefer the Yakima HoldUp since it is so compact and it is easier to use. The Yakima pretty much folds to 3/4 its normal size with the collapsing wheel tray. It is smooth with no sharp edges and it's very easy to fold up, down or tilt to open the hatch. Plus it's got a bolt through the 1 1/4 hitch mount for a more secure connection with the car.
The 1UpUSA delivers a cleaner, stealth look and the license plate is actually visible even with two trays. It is easier to install/remove from the vehicle since there's no bolt to thread through the hitch. It works with a ball cam system that tightens with a special wrench. However, this kind of system is not as secure and the cam can loosen over a period of time or when driving on very rough roads. And this will cause the hitch and the bikes to fall from the vehicle.
I opted for a 1 1/4 instead of a 2 inch receiver hitch to make it less visible under the car. The trade-off here is the hitch racks can only take a max of two bike instead of four. Also, the bikes will have more movement when in rough roads with the 1 1/4 hitch.
When transporting four bikes, I opted for the Thule roof mounting system which has strong rubber straps that latch on to the factory rails. These seem to work very well but getting bikes up there is always a bit of a struggle as the vehicle is high and there's no perfect place to place your feet when climbing up.
Four adults, four bikes and all their gear fit perfectly in this vehicle as long as no one is a pack rat. A road trip with this many folks will be a struggle.
What About the Power?
Or lack of it? I'm happy to report that Crosstrek with 146 horses has enough power for me with the CVT transmission. The Crosstrek has a great tranny and it seems like the power is always there the second you step on the gas. We thought the car was quick around town and it really is as 0-30 acceleration is very lively. Midrange power is no good under heavy load getting up to around 70 mph. After that, it settles in and drops in to a high gear as it seems to cruise with ease.
So it's quick and easy to drive around town. But if you mash the pedal and look at the 0-60 times of 9.8 seconds, you will be disappointed. But we've taken the car, fully loaded up the Grapevine I-5 and I-80 to Tahoe and it had no problems cruising up at 70 mph. The CVT transmission can get loud under load but the car just finds the right gearing and climbs away. But if you live in the high mountains or have to do a lot of passing on two-lane roads, this may not be the car for you. There's enough power at sea level to get this car around. But if you're looking for thrills or a fun car then the Subaru Crosstrek cannot deliver. And since there are no engine options, buyers may need to look somewhere else.
The mileage claim of 33 mpg is legitimate. You can do better than that or worse than that depending on conditons but that is pretty much spot on in our opinion. 27-28 on the city is confirmed as well. And since this is not a fast accelerating car, that's pretty much what you'll experience in terms of real-world mileage. See, the Crosstrek is fun and capable when you just cruise around without mashing the throttle. And that's when you'll see the best economy. The big variable on the highway is speed. When you get close to 80mph and beyond, the mileage dives pretty severely. The RPMs of the motor climb quite a bit and the bad aerodynamics and height of the car get the best of it. On several runs on I5 averaging 82 mph, our highway mileage dropped to 27 mpg.
Off Road Ability and Handling
With 8.7 inches of ground clearance and the Subaru drivetrain, the Crosstrek has had no issues so far with the terrain we've thrown at it. It's had no issues at all with dirt roads and rough, dirt lots we've taken it to.
Handling is surprisingly good for a car of this height. There's a little body roll at the limit and the tires will let their presence known under hard cornering. At freeway speeds, the car can be a little fidgety and the driver has to focus a bit more than other cars to keep it centered in the lane.
Bottom Line
We love this car and it will stay in the family til the next generation.
