Introducing our remarkable guest and innkeeper, Gita Devi!

Gita's life has been a testament to her unwavering commitment to animal rescue and advocacy. For over 30 years, she has been a passionate advocate for the welfare of all living beings, making a positive impact on the world through her actions and choices.

Her journey into compassion began when she became a vegetarian in her mid-20s, and since then, she has embraced a fulfilling vegan lifestyle, driven by her deep love and respect for animals.

In her quest to make a tangible difference, Gita ventured into Farm Sanctuary in New York, answering the call to support their noble mission. Here, she found her true calling, working in the Education Department. Overseeing events, conducting farm tours, and lending a hand in the gift shop, she spread awareness and love for the animals she cared for deeply.

When life presented her with a crossroads, Gita seized the opportunity to pursue her dream of running a sanctuary of her own. She transformed her house into a beautiful and inviting B&B, nestled within a garden oasis she lovingly cultivated.

As a certified Yoga/Meditation instructor, Gita's connection to mindfulness and tranquility shines through in the serene atmosphere she creates at her B&B. Her guests find not only a place to rest their heads but a sanctuary where they can reconnect with nature and themselves.

Gita's journey has been one of resilience and unwavering passion. Her heart remains firmly dedicated to the animals she cares for deeply, and her dream of providing a safe haven for them continues to drive her.
