There are a few trails, one of which leads you to the Shawnee National Forest and the Reid’s Chapel Wilderness area. We’re close to many national forest wonders like Garden of the Gods, Burden Falls, and Bell Smith Spring. On our property enjoy our Amish Swing, small dock (with catch and release, one pole provided), and ask about the use of our patio and fire pit. You’ll find a few old farm relics on one path, like an old combine, wagon, and planter. Look but don’t touch as these are old and rusty. After a good rain, the creek will run down the hillside but is dry otherwise. Enjoy this property with your pet (we follow forest guidelines dogs must be on a leash while outside). Our furry pets are family, too! Our primary residence is on the property as well, though we are on the go a lot as we’re retired. So, enjoy what our space has to offer…a dock over the pond, a serenity swing, trails, and access to all the splendors of the Shawnee! Guest access We will send you a key code for our electronic lock. No need to check in with us or search for a key. Other things to note This micro cottage is not handicapped accessible. Our driveway is gravel and there is a long sandstone and dirt path to the cottage. There are four steps to the deck and door. Given the small size of this cottage, accessibility is limited.
