Violet Cottage at Zenzen Gardens

The Violet Cottage is cute and cozy, and is the original bunk house of the property.

The cottage was remodeled in the spring of 2023 with new flooring, windows, doors & paint, and has been professionally designed & furnished by your host Cindie. 

This cute bunkhouse has one comfy queen bed, nightstands, chair and table with coffee, tea, glasses and mugs. There is a heater & swamp cooler.

Zenzen Gardens is a beautiful 20 acre organic farm with wide open fields, majestic mountains, relaxation pond, flower gardens, and live music on the stage or in the Historic Barn.

Zenzen Gardens is the official tasting room for Alfred Eames winery- all guests are welcome to enjoy some local wines and take in the panoramic views. Our wine tasting room is open daily 12:00-6:00 from May through October, under the veranda of the main house, gold in color.

The outdoor shower is located behind the blue cottage.
Port-a-johns are on site for guests to use on the south side of the gravel driveway.

I stayed at Zenzen with my girlfriend and we had the most incredible time. The property is stunning! The views are breathtaking everywhere on the property. The cottage was clean, homey, and absolutely perfect for the two of us. What I loved most was the gardens and outdoor spaces at Zenzen. The back porch behind the big house is an amazing place to get some charcuterie and wine tasting. Our host, Cindie was warm, welcoming, and kind. We really felt like a part of the family!

Peaceful property and experience! Just a short drive to food options and incredible recreating within the Kebler area a few miles down the road you go do your thing and I said hopefully by Friday when are you leaving yeah cause Thursday if I get all that stuff down here, I just wanna get everything by the end by Friday by this weekend. I wanna have everything at least where I wanna keep it for the timing so it’s out of the way of you so it’s not interrupting anything here. I will be up here. I can easily just grab it and throw it back on the truck whenever I find out what’s gonna happen might be your furniture downstairs so I’ve got a lay on. The sofa can’t lay lay down because they’re like I sleep in a bed I can’t sleep out. Well full size might be 6 feet but mine is 8 foot and then it’s a lounge on the other end too more comfortable. I did empty dehumidifier if you left this door open on this side too in the wine room whether the cats if the cat goes in there, it’s not gonna go to the bathroom because the bathroom is already on the other side. The main thing is that there is a huge difference between the two size right to stay with a lot longer. If you leave the door closed because you’re not getting right, you’re not getting the air to circulate all the way through. I’m smelling like that.
