SarongGoddess > LIVING ROOM 2 / DINING AREA 2
If not sitting outside enjoying the WONDERFUL weather the Central Valley offers, most guests like to sit here reading, chillin' and/or chattin as it is another spacious, as well as Bright Space.

There are 2 Dining Tables, each that can fit up to 6 people (for those that don't desire to eat outside) and we can even remove the furniture and add one more table for any large group, class or event!

We now have a Ceiling Fan for those warm days.

This room is often used for smaller groups or groups with a more limited budget. We can bring in more chairs or remove the existing furniture giving you LOTS of space to do whatever class/purpose you need it for - yoga, seminars, massage classes, dance classes!!
