Armando and dapuppies were great host and hostesses for our first visit. Armando is a true dog lover and spoiled our dog rotten. We enjoyed walking the trails around the house. Armando and dapuppies love living on the land. We felt like we were at home and could relax and enjoyed just hanging out.

The property is a heaven for humans and canines. My dog is truly depressed since leaving this great place. Freshly grilled chicken and homemade soup for the dogs and yummy breakfasts for my family was wonderful. If you like hiking, great company, good food, playing on a beach/pond...this is the place for you. It is only a short drive into... More

My husband and I had visted Tierra Linda with our great niece and nephew last year as their Christmas present. We asked them where they would like to go this year-Armando and Tierra Linda was the choice. Of course we had a wonderful time, got to see the persied meteor showers and the best of all for me was spending... More

We did most of the same activities and enjoyed it just as much. Armando served a great breakfast and the room was... More

Tierra Linda really was a wonderful retreat away from the local tourist traps. I stayed there with my two dogs, a rotty and a terrier mix, over a short weekend. While there Armando prepared a nice campfire and cooked dinner over the fire. I sat out on the peaceful private beach and let my dogs explore the grounds independantly off... More

My husband and I went to Galena for our wedding anniversary. Since we had our dogs, we had to find accomodations that were pet friendly. I stumbled upon Tierra Linda and are we glad we did. We LOVED the property, the peace and quiet, watching and hearing all the birds, and our bedroom was so simple yet beautiful. I wish... More

Tierra Linda is one of my favorite places ever. Not only is the landscape gorgeous and the host generous and friendly, but it is a place where you can feel completely free and at peace. Start the day with a delicious home cooked breakfast, swim all day in the completely private natural spring fed pond with a sandy beach, hike... More

What a place to go when you want to get away from it all. It isn't fancy, but what a beautiful place to go and relax. We arrived and as soon as we settled in we were treated to a drink and a tour of the property. We went out to the sandy beach and were encouraged to go swimming.... More
