INSIDE THE HOME This Swiss chalet cottage and the guest house were built to take advantage of the outside; you will find comfort and modern amenities inside.

The floor plan is open and includes a living room, dining area, galley kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom on the first floor.

The second floor has an open loft with another queen bed, two single beds, and another private bathroom and shower. The refrigerator, stove, dehumidifier, and dishwasher are all new. The charming, white-washed guest cottage offers two more bedrooms, a full bath, a smart TV, a sitting area, a small fridge,and a coffee pot. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other includes 2 sets of bunk beds (4 beds). Having two separate living areas provides ample space for 14 people and up to two dogs. This additional space is also fully internet accessible. Like any property in the woods, there are bugs and critters that you may not see at home. This Fall, the owners have invested in several projects to make sure your indoor experience is as comfortable as possible. A new roof was added, the chimney was tuckpointed, and the house was sealed from the bottom up, all to make it more comfortable for you. Our monthly maintenance program is an added level of safety.
