★ Work: 1GBPS internet. Work desks in each bedroom.

The home is designed keeping in mind the needs of the entire family. It offers an ideal space for working from home, there is high-speed 1GBPs internet throughout the house. Or to just kick back and relax.
LIVING/DINING:
As you enter the home, you will be welcomed into a spacious and stylishly done living/dining area with the classic Country stove fireplace. The living/dining area includes a modern solid wood 8-person dining table. If you need more seating there are additional chairs in the garage. There are also two medium-sized couches with total seating space for 6 people.
KITCHEN:
Adjacent to the living/dining area is the well-equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, updated stainless steel appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, electric kettle), a Keurig coffee maker, traditional coffee maker and an adequately-stocked kitchen complete with dishes, glassware, baking and serving ware and cookware.
ENTERTAINMENT ROOM:
Next to the kitchen is the Entertainment Room, where you will find options for the entire family to enjoy. There is a 70" LG LED TV, with comfortable theatre-style seating for 7 (4 leather recliner chairs and 3 floor gaming chairs). Please note that we do not have cable TV. It's a smart TV, you can log into Netflix, HULU, Disney+ etc. through your own account. The media console stores multiple board games. We also provide an XBOX with two controllers.
PATIO
Beyond the living/dining area is the patio that is nestled in the woods. You can peek at calming, open views of the Trout Creek Meadow. Enjoy the sunrise or sunset as you kick back on the patio while taking in the serene surroundings.
FITNESS/SPA AREA
This is our favorite area in the house. Start or end your day with a rewarding workout on the Peloton, stretch on the solid pinewood Swedish Ladder, meditate in the fitness room while staring out of the large window, relax in the sauna or take a dip in the hot tub in the spa room adjacent to the fitness room.
Kids (ages 5-12) will enjoy the Swedish Ladder as the perfect indoor gym. We would know. :-) Our kids, ages 6 and 9, love the rope ladder, rope swing, trapeze and horizontal bars (Only under strict adult supervision).
This area of the house provides an experience that is not to be missed.

*** PLEASE READ THE HOUSE RULES PRIOR TO BOOKING ***
*** RENTAL AGREEMENT/SECURITY DEPOSIT ***
Please note that all guests will receive an email required to sign our rental agreement that lists the house rules. We need you to sign it and share your credit card info through our secure reservation system for a $500 deposit. It's important that you review and sign this agreement within 48 hours of receipt to maintain your booking. If this step is overlooked, your reservation may be subject to automatic cancellation as per our house rules. We would not want that to happen, so we emphasize this to ensure all goes smoothly with your reservation. The reason for the agreement is simple - it is in place to provide transparency and protection for both our valued guests and us, the hosts. The security deposit is simply a temporary hold on your card, not an actual charge, although it will count towards your credit limit. This means your money stays in your account. We put this hold on your card one week before you arrive. If there's no damage when you leave, we'll remove the hold one week after you go.
