We love to travel and to meet new people, we had visited over 30 countries so far mostly through backpacking, that is basically the reason we created Lucy House, Kitty Suite and Daysi Barn, we do understand the need to have a clean and comfortable place to rest when visiting friends, family, or just when going on a road trip. We just hope you love our place as much as we do, we put a lot of effort and hard work on it, just for you!!
