The house is set up as duplex with back to back units and was designed with comfort & privacy in mind. The second unit is located on the back side of the house with full separation and privacy. That being said you might hear other guests during your stay. We strive to provide a five star experience for all who stay with us.

In winter your parking and access to the property will be plowed as well as access to Sauna and Hot tub but the backyard will not and outdoor dining & fire pit will not be accessible during snowy winter months.
