Shower under the stars and moon or the early morning sun in the (hot/cold) outdoor shower. Peaceful and secluded, but minutes away from conveniences in Arley and Addison.

About the host

Hosted by Jon Wesson

Host profile image

We have been married for more than thirty years and work together in a small law practice. Jon sees to Scout's Hideaway, keeping it in pristine shape for our guests. I (Jackie) teach law three times per week. We have cats, dogs, chickens, and bees here at home and foster animals for some local rescues. Nature is our means of rejuvenating, replenishing our stores, and calming our minds.

Why they chose this property

We built Scout's Hideaway so that we would have a place that, while close to home, feels like it is a million miles away. Worries melt and stress disappears when we visit this wonderful getaway. Our guests say the same thing. There is something magical here and we see it and feel it year-round - from the wildflowers in the spring, the lush greens of summer reflecting in the water, the beautiful copper and brown leaves of fall, or the quiet stillness of winter. The large 6-foot windows afford expansive vistas no matter the time of year.

What makes this property unique

Large three acre lot with 220 feet of shoreline.
