With space to host up to 17 guests across 7 thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, this is the perfect venue for group getaways, family reunions, or special celebrations.

Sleeping arrangements include five double bedrooms, a twin room, and a charming bunk room that accommodates five guests. While typically set up for 17, we're happy to discuss tailored arrangements based on your needs.
