Quiet 2 bedroom cottage. Nestled in the woods

Description

Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. Nestled on the edge of a certified tree farm. Massive old trees surround the cabin while you take in the amazing wooded scenery. The cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath. Whetstone River meanders through the property. Lots of wildlife. No pets allowed. The space Free high speed business internet and wifi. Free TV. The cottage was built in the 1940’s. It has vaulted ceilings with large old wooden beams. Enjoy the classic antique wagon wheel ceiling lights while falling in love with the massive original fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The cabin was originally called the Indian Mound Lodge. It was part of a large family camp where they camped, cooked, and hunted. Walls were placed to make bedrooms many years later to make it a home. The bedroom walls do not go to the ceiling and can cause noise to travel in the home. The main bedroom does have closets. It has a large window and door to the outside. It holds a queen bed. The second bedroom has a trundle bed with 2 twin mattresses. It is a cozy room with 2 single pull-out beds in the closet area. The home does not have bedroom doors but curtains have been purchased to help provide some privacy. Large open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. Large windows for great viewing. The living room has a couch, chair, and futon. Take in the amazing wooded views from your couch while looking out the sliding glass doors. Deers can be seen frequently in the front yard at dawn and dusk. We also have a family of foxes that live in our back barn about 100 yards from the cabin. We frequently get raccoons to visit in the evening and overnight. If you look to the right of the cabin, you will find a massive oak tree that is well over 200 years old. It is the largest oak tree on the property. The bathroom has a large sink, toilet, shower and standard door. The property also has the original (outdoor) outhouse behind the home if you feel extra adventurous! It's at least 50 years old! Use at your own risk!! :) We have well water but have a water softener treatment that is maintained by Peacock Water. The water is safe to drink. There is a water feature near the front of the home. Enjoy the tranquil sounds as you relax next to the fire pit. Please keep an eye on kids (it is 2.5 foot deep). Firewood is for sale at the end of the driveway. Our insurance does not allow for indoor fires. Please do not use the fireplace at this time. Outdoor seating and a fire pit are located to the left of the home. Enjoy some yummy s’mores or hotdogs on the fire while enjoying the evenings. The best part of the home is the large, three-season sunroom. It has vaulted ceilings with large old wood beams. Antique windows frame the large seating area. There is a ceiling fan to help during the warm summer months and plenty of seating for the whole family. Enjoy the rain dancing on the rooftop while taking in nature, or snuggling under a blanket during the winter months. This area has tons of wildlife and deer frequently enjoy apples from the trees in the front yard. We have a family of foxes living behind the home in a den by the barn. Keep an eye out at dusk for our furry friends. You can often see raccoons, wild turkeys, possums, deer, and tons of birds. NEW back porch completed in 2026 along with new outdoor furniture. Sit and enjoy all that the forest has to offer. I highly recommend sitting on the back deck first thing in the morning and listening to all the birds. It's amazing. Please, no pets. Due to guest who let their pets do damage to the property, we no longer accept any pets. Here is a small creek that meanders behind the cottage, and a larger river deeper in the woods. The river is called Whetstone River (and is the reason we call our Cabin Whetstone Woods). No smoking, vaping, tobacco products, or illegal drugs. There is a $500 fine if the cabin smells of these products. Limited parking. Please no extra large trucks, RVs, campers, wagons, trailers, etc. unless pre-approved.
