Your Hosts

Gina and D’Arcy Marcell are recent transplants from the Pacific Northwest.

Gina comes from a hospitality background, with 20 years in customer service for the Airline and Travel Industry. Gina is a true entrepreneur who enjoys people. She owned her own businesses while raising three sons. She enjoys cooking, entertaining and sharing her knowledge of animals, especially of goats. Gina became a passionate lover of goats after adopting some orphaned baby goats. That experience grew into a hobby of rescuing unwanted goats, rehabilitating and then re-homing them as pets. After realizing that the wet climate in the Pacific Northwest was not conducive to healthy goats, the Marcells began to look for a drier climate where they could own an Inn and also where her goats would thrive. Gina has mentored teens in all aspects of goat husbandry, and will continue to educate others to the benefits of goat ownership. The Marcells have a small herd of dairy goats and share their love of these entertaining creatures with B&B guests and the community at large. Additionally, the Marcells brought their flock of special Americauna laying hens from the Northwest. These special hens lay a light green egg. Gina enjoys making goat cheese and uses fresh goat milk, goat cheese and fresh eggs in the wonderful meals and snacks she serves to guests.

D'Arcy works in the marine industry and spends equal parts at sea and at home. A self-described “techie” D’Arcy is an invaluable resource for all things technical and computer driven. His talents help keep the wireless internet running smoothly, as well as the upgraded entertainment systems in each of the guest rooms. Additionally, D’Arcy is a talented handyman who can fix “almost anything” and enjoys carpentry. D’Arcy has traveled extensively in his career and looks forward to staying around Salida while he is off-duty.
