  Loved the Lotus Pad

  Left on 03/15/2013 for a stay in February 2013
  
  

  Have stayed twice in the last two years, and love The Lotus Pad. Such a sweet home with a big yard, great location, nice block, great hammocks, we relaxed totally. Love all the outdoor seating. Comfortable bed. We really feel like we have our own Shangri La when we stay at the Lotus Pad--even read some meditation and yoga books. It was like a retreat. Can't beat this value. Love close everything is. Nancy is very sweet and helpful.
