A little more about the space:

FUN BACKYARD

***Pickleball: Coming soon! Concrete has been laid. We're waiting on warmer weather for the lines to be painted. We have a basketball hoop available and waiting for you to play! ***

The house sits on 2 acres! Our backyard has something for everyone in your group! Here you can unwind on our sectional sofa or in our hammock. If you brought your competitive spirit, head out to the open-air barn for some games (cornhole, darts, ring hook to name a few). Have a cold beverage at the bar in the barn...you'll see what we mean! Looking to unwind and have a relaxing evening...BBQ, make smores at the fire pit and relax in our hot tub under the twinkling stars or while watching the colorful sky as the sun sets!

KITCHEN

Our sun-drenched kitchen greets you upon entering the home. It includes everything you need to prepare meals, from morning beverages (Keurig, K-cup pods, coffee pot, tea bags and kettle) to evening supper. There is plenty of space to gather for a meal at the table plus additional island seating!

Off of the kitchen is a large mud room with washer and dryer. Laundry detergent & dryer sheets included.

LIVING ROOM/DINING ROOM

Upon walking through the kitchen, you will arrive in the cozy living room. Hang out on the couch and watch a movie on the 65" smart television with a “guest access” enabled Roku for you to log into your own streaming accounts. Have flashbacks to your childhood while playing Nintendo with your favorite games from the 80's and 90's & a karaoke machine.

The dining room table faces the living room and is the perfect place to play cards or one of the many board games provided.

4 BEDROOMS plus BONUS AREA

Our four bedrooms feel like home, from luxury mattresses with cotton linens to artwork, patterned rugs and nightstands with lamps. Windows in each room let in natural light, while room darkening shades and sound machines help to ensure a restful sleep. You’ll also find toss pillows, throws, and mirrors in each room.
