Welcome to the Cottage on the Farm! Enjoy the parklike setting that features a live pond, above ground pool, and is host to wildlife including over 40 species of birds. Speedy WiFi lets you work away from home or stream movies on your device. Stay at the Cottage and relax or explore the many attractions in our area. Whether you like skiing, hiking, fishing, kayaking, wine tasting or antique shopping, you have come to the right area! We look forward to welcoming you to the Cottage on the farm. The space For years our friends have enjoyed visiting the cottage, and they have encouraged us to share it with you! The cottage features a deluxe queen size bed with cozy bedding, table and chairs that look out the French doors on the property. The Futon couch can fold out and sleep two. There is no TV, but there is good wifi and you can work or stream movies or videos on your device. Kitchen area has a fridge, microwave, hotplate, large toaster oven, crock-pot, electric skillet, rice cooker, blender, spices, utensils and more. The outside cooking area features a gas BBQ, Blackstone Grill, and a 2 burner propane stove. The Cottage is well-stocked with oil, spices and cooking basics. In the summer you can enjoy fresh veggies and herbs from our garden, along with fresh eggs from our hens. We supply coffee, tea, creamer, sugar and small snacks for your convenience. If you need a special ingredient, just ask! We have a pretty well-stocked kitchen in the main house. Propane heat will keep you toasty in cold weather. There is also a swamp cooler and fans for when the weather heats up. Bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet, and a door that leads to the pool area. You have access to all the property during your stay. Our property is a mini farm, so there are some things to be aware of. There is an unfenced pond on the property, so if you have small children you need to be aware of this. Sit on the dock and gaze at the water lilies and listen to the frogs at night. Take a nap in the hammock or float in the pool on a lazy afternoon. We have beach towels and floats. In the evening, light the fire pit and make s'mores while you look at the stars. You can feed the chickens and collect eggs if you like. July is blackberry season and we have tons of them! In the fall we harvest apples and peaches. Also on our property is our barn which houses the workshop for our wooden puzzle business--The Puzzle Man. We have been making wooden puzzles since 1976 when I quit my full time job as a Denny's waitress to make puzzles for a living. We did craft shows for many years, but now just run the online business. We are happy to give you a tour! There is a washer and dryer on the mud porch of the main house that you are welcome to use if necessary. We also have an iron, ironing board and probably anything else you might need. We are here to make your stay enjoyable! Guest access The cottage is completely separate from the house, so you can have all the privacy you want. We are always available to answer questions or help with whatever you need. We are only a mile from Interstate 80, so it's easy to get wherever you're going! You have access to all the property--sit out on the dock and enjoy coffee or a cocktail. In the summer, wander out back and pick blackberries. Hang out by the pool or go for a swim. There is an outdoor fire pit and we supply the s'mores fixings. In the spring you might see ducks on the pond and there are over 40 species of birds right on and around our property! Fall asleep to the sound of the frogs croaking on the pond or stay up late and stargaze while you cook s'mores! Other things to note There is so much to do in our area!!!
