We heard about this last stop at lunch. Our tour included a special stop at The Turkey Creek Dinner where we had a wonderful meal and discount coupon included on our tour map! We had wonderful country meal and heard the buzz about a must see place. We heard it was a straw and bale house and even had a chandelier in the bathroom. This road was even more of a challenge than the ones before, it was one lane with high hedges, just like in the English countryside.
from England and from a very artistic family. Both of her parents were artist, and many of her siblings are well known artists in England. Rachel's work is exquisite and magical. She paints flowers, landscapes and still life. I would call her work realistic, but it seems magical realism, rather than photographic real. The house was charming. She and her husband Ron built the straw and bale house themselves. They also made mosaic floors, counters, and shower walls themselves. They found the marble in a landfill and paid $25 a load!! The house is filled with English Cottage style charm. It is warm, cozy and delightful.
