The great room is surrounded on all sides by a wraparound deck with screen doors for easy indoor/outdoor living.

Breathe deep in the wood-fired barrel sauna nestled in the pines. Get lost in a good book in one of the four hammocks on the porch or lawn. Challenge your friends to a game of bocce, croquet, or corn hole on the sprawling lawns. Take a dip or a float or stand-up paddle board around our private swimming hole, keeping an eye out for the resident blue heron. Take to the woods and explore one of our many hiking trails. Borrow one of our mountain bikes and explore the area. Grill on the BBQ or Traeger and take your meals outside at our large handmade cedar dining table. Roast marshmallows and stargaze sitting around one of our two firepits. Guest access Guests enjoy the full run of the house and surrounding 90 acre property, with the exception of the barn and a few locked closets containing owner belongings. Other things to note While we have never had this happen, in the unexpected event the hot tub or sauna are out of order we do not offer a refund on your stay.
