About the host
From the Host
Nestled on a wooded, creekfront setting, the place invites quiet, nature-filled days with the sound of running water and wildlife nearby. Inside, a thoughtful, privacy-friendly layout balances shared living space with retreat areas. You can step out to fish by the back door and watch deer, geese, and beaver along the creek and ponds. A sunlit porch and a wall of windows keep the outdoors present, perfect for slow mornings and calm evenings. It’s a grounded, sincere retreat for adults seeking connection with nature.
