Purple Kangaroo Cottages

Ski season at Whitetail is rapidly approaching. The cottage books up fast in January and February. The cottage offers a stylish/warm atmosphere for couples to connect with each other and the outdoors. The outdoor fireplace/pit gazing at the stars is must see entertainment. This intimate getaway will provide for making wonderful memories in a scenic, relaxing location free from the bothers of normal life, with WIFI. Cottage can be used as a venue, pricing is then negotiable. No smoking The space Step inside to find a multitude of modern comforts and beauty. The space was designed to get you outside on the covered front porch, large back patio and expansive fireplace patio area. It offers several areas to enjoy the sunshine or try and escape the heat with shade. The outdoor fireplace and fire pit patio area is absolutely AMAZING. However, please be aware of burn bans in Franklin County PA. Mercersburg Academy is 25 minutes away for those travelling to visit sons and daughters and for special events. There are biking/hiking opportunities locally from the C&O canal at Little Pool Campground and Hancock, to many state parks in PA. The Meadow grounds, Cowans Gap, and President James Buchanan's birthplace are practically in your back yard. It is in close proximity to Saunderosa Campground if you have friends who camp, but you want to have a separate place to sleep and decompress. The cottage is located 12 minutes from JLG McConnellsburg Plant for those travelling for a work week. The Goldfish Barn is 16 miles away for those traveling for weddings. The Frontier Barn Quilt Trail is a gorgeous trip to see on a fall day or two. Back at the cottage, evenings are best spent around the fire pit and/or outdoor fireplace sharing conversation and laughter and disengaging from our plugged in world. The cottage has 2 smart TV's for you to login and catch up on your latest series or favorite movies. When it is time to retire, enjoy the King Size bed on the upper level and the serenity and quiet of country living. For a second couple or children, there is a Amish made Queen size Murphy bed on the lower level. This leaves an entire level between guests. Both sleeping areas have full bathrooms within a few feet of the beds. In the morning enjoy coffee and the gorgeous view of the mountains from the front porch. The fully functional kitchen allows for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Appliances include a coffee maker, cook top, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, oven, toaster oven and are located in a quaint galley kitchen. In this space a couple could enjoy spending quality time preparing meals. Outside, off the front porch is a large gas grill with a covered roof. Rain or snow won't stop the meat and vegetables from being charred. ******Indoor propane fireplace on lower level is unavailable to guests. We have carbon monoxide detectors, but are choosing safety. Furthermore the basement area seems to be where children sleep and fires caused by strewn blankets is a tremendous concern.********* Starlink Wifi (can't say enough good things about) and bluetooth enabled Pyle speakers to hook up to Spotify, Pandora or XM radio are also included. The cottage has large windows on the main floor to view the many turkeys and deer that wander through daily. We worked on this property for a couple years preparing it for your stay. Countless hours were spent brainstorming, discussing and planning the details. A ton of blood (and a few band aids), sweat and beers went into making the ideas and thoughts reality. We went 130% over the budget (Fireplace was a budget buster... ), because we realized this space was going to be amazing and you deserve it! There is no extra charge for the breathtaking view of the nighttime stars!! Pets are allowed, however please clean up and hair on floor with vacuum. Please lint roll any hair on bedding and couches. We have spent more time doing this than any other aspect in the cleaning process and it isn't how we want to spend our free time. Guest access Here at the cottage, you will have the entire place to yourselves. The home is yours without interruption for your entire stay. With that said, relax, unwind and enjoy the views, the outdoor shower and the amazing fireplace area!! We provide toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent and bleach. The fridge will have a few water bottles, Gatorades (for hiking on the C&O canal) ginger ales and condiments. The cottage is rural enough, we don’t want you wasting time running to the grocery store 20 minutes away. Other things to note There is a Level 2 EV charger available. The outlet is on the barn in front of the cottage. The driveway is gravel, but it is well maintained. We are located 30 minutes from Whitetail Ski Resort. However the lane is difficult to traverse if snow pack has turned to ice. We will certainly let you know the conditions leading up to your trip and make every effort to make the entrance and exit as safe as possible. There is plenty of parking and ample space to turn around. There is plenty of space for boat trailers as well.
