This house is 3 bedroom with 2-full bathrooms and a wrap around deck, perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon relaxation.

Upstairs, you’ll find a full kitchen equipped with brand-new stainless steel appliances and a kitchen island that’s perfect for enjoying meals together. The cozy living room features a propane fireplace and a flat-screen TV, creating a warm and inviting space to relax after a day of exploring.
Just off the kitchen is a spacious primary bedroom with a king-size bed and a private en-suite bathroom. The en-suite includes a large soaker tub and a stand-up shower for the ultimate comfort. From the bedroom, you can step out onto a generous upper deck with ample seating and a dining table—ideal for bringing your indoor meals outdoors.

The house was welcoming and had everything we needed. The host left a lovely welcome card and contact information. They checked in with us each day, making us feel cared for. The main beds were really comfortable, and we loved relaxing on the outside deck, the BBQ, and enjoying the hot tub. It was a wonderful stay!
