Make yourself at home in a quiet Tzfat retreat
This guest room, in Ma'ale Cana'an offers a spacious place to rest and relax.
Thank you for considering our guest room. We're a modest family of four with a simple yet wonderful space that's available for visitors to Tzfat or the Galilee.
We are located in Ma'ale Cana'an which is about a 5 minute walk from Egged (the central bus station) and about a 15 minute walk to the old city. We usually have one off street parking space available to guests.

A view of the Kinneret awaits you
The balcony overlooking the Kinneret and Tiberius is the perfect place to rejuvenate, meditate, or have some good conversation in our comfy lounge chairs.
At night, the city of Tiberius lights up for a spectacular sparkly view. The Tzfat sky with its rarefied air is alight with stars.
The air in Tzfat has a different feeling to it. It's been said that Tzfat is close to Heaven and this is one spot where you might just feel that for yourself!
The deep couch can transform into up to two twin sized beds
to accommodate parents with kids or traveling buddies.
If you need to create a desk space, we have that for you too! You can see some of the DVD library above the desk and the hand weights too.
Large bathroom with over sized shower
The bathroom is entirely tiled. The shower is over sized and luxurious--ready to go with shampoo, conditioner, your choice of body gel or bar soap, and fresh towels.
No matter where you stay in Israel, please know that the country is in drought conditions. Conserving water is of the utmost importance. Thanks!

THE FINE PRINT...
...and other tidbits
We can usually offer one off street parking space. If you are not coming into town by car, there are several flights of stairs to get to our home. But remember, we've got an amazing view so it's worth it!
**Just outside our yard, barely a minute's hike, are the kevarim (burial sites) of two tzaddikim from the time of the second Temple! One is Antigonus Ish Socho who is quoted in Pirkei Avot, the other is 'Natan d'Tzutzita who is written about in the Gemara.**
We share our yard with Shasta our dog and Kitty our cat. (Israel has cats everywhere you go, most are feral, or wild. Our cat does not come inside so if you're not a cat lover or have allergies, this is no more of a problem than anywhere else. If you need and want a 'kitty fix' while you're traveling, ours will be happy to oblige!) If you are an animal lover, Shasta can sometimes be convinced to sleep on the floor in the guest room. Women traveling alone especially seem to enjoy her company. (She's not allowed on the furniture.)
