Fire Water Lodge

• At the entrance to the lodge is the Happy Beli Deli, where very affordable homemade hummus, soups and sandwiches made your way are served in the tiny dining room or in the adjacent courtyard.
• Nearby (most within walking distance) are several small neighborhood joints including the Little Sprout Market & Juice Bar.
• For lunch and dinner, the more upscale Café BellaLuca has soups, salads, sandwiches, pizza, seafood and pasta dishes.

• The courtyard is the perfect place to relax during the day with a book, or gaze at the stars.
• Indoor hot springs tubs (and one outdoor) are available for guests.
• Many local healing arts practitioners offer spa services at or near the lodge. You can book foot reflexology, massage or even a Tarot card reading.

• Bathrooms are only equipped with a bar of soap and towels. Pack your own shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc.
• My guest room, though large, was very dark. Table lamps, covered in leather shades, did not do much to illuminate the room, and windows were small and shaded.
• Keep your eye out for the very friendly and fluffy but shy resident calico cat, Grizzles.
• Much of the rustic wood furniture in the guest rooms was handcrafted by the owner.
