Tierra Linda is a slice of heaven on earth. It is a wonderful escape - and for the dogs it is 11 acres of free run paradise! Armando should get the award for the best host ever. And he's a GREAT cook! (Love the breakfast!) He even cooks for the dogs! You and your dogs won't want to go home! More

If you want to completely relax and hang with significant others, including pets, this is the place! The location is great, about 5 minutes to town. The setting is lovely, especially in the Fall. As usual, we were greeted by Armando and his puppies. It is always a warm welcome, and this being our fifth year at Tierra Linda, it... More
