Surrounding Environment: The property is very central, yet secluded, due to the topography. Vineyards, gardens and an orchard give richness to the property. A short 100 foot walk brings you to the peaceful picnic area by the side of the Ausable River with a birds eye view down valley of the covered bridge and its cascading falls, or simply admire it from either porch.

One bathroom is dedicated to the cottage while the other is dedicated to the glamping tent. The tent bathroom is accessed by an outside door and does not comingle with the interior cottage space. To minimize potential impact we have sound insulated those walls and require showers to be outside of quiet hours. We also monitor compliance via camera.
