Quiet Country Cottage-Three bedrooms, Hot tub, Sauna, Fishing pond
Small home with lots of space to relax and reconnect with yourself or your loved ones. Great for a couple's retreat, relaxing honeymoon, anniversary celebration, or just a chance to get away from town and the hustle and bustle of life. The open fields provide plenty of sky to look up at and dream and lots of grass to plant your feet in to get grounded. Your only neighbor is the owners main house with a grassy field in-between and no facing windows. Very private.
Two person outdoor hot tub perfect for star gazing at night. No light pollution. The property is ideal for photographers or artist to build their portfolios or write your next novel. The owners are happy to accommodate for your needs, just ask.

Bedroom three with West facing windows has a double futon and extra twin mattress. Washer and dryer. Quiet walks, no traffic. Dogs welcome although there is no fenced in yard. Kitchen equipped with essentials.
The area has 2 nearby lakes and 2 single person kayaks or canoe available for rent. Lane is a dead end so no through traffic enhances this private location. Relax and enjoy bird-watching and quiet walks. Home is ADA friendly except for the gravel driveways. Fishing in the pond by the owners home is available by request- dependent on weather and current activities. Bluegill, Red-ear, and Bass. Catch and release or keep for dinner. ( please throw back any bass over 15'')
Barn in the back of owner's property is also available for use in events at an additional fee. Contact owner for further details.
PETS
We are pet friendly but we are not running a kennel. One really bad experience has made us revamp our pet policy. We do not have a pet fee because we have found that most pet owners are responsible.
Dogs-
2 max. Any dog over 40 lbs needs to be approved.
A vacuum and cleaning supplies are provided for daily upkeep.
Kennels are required for unsupervised pets. We can provide an XL and a L kennel.
Beds and dog towels provided.
Pets are prohibited from sleeping on the beds.
As stated earlier we don’t add a pet fee because we also travel with our dogs and want to promote responsible pet ownership. That being said, If it is left a mess there will be an additional cleaning fee for time required to get the home ready for people that may not have pets themselves. In two years we have only done that once.
Cats- same rules but if you bring a 40 lb cat we have more questions. lol

The house was very clean. We made use of the hot tub, hammocks and piano, but there was more to enjoy like fire pit and sauna. The kitchen was large and was stocked fairly well.

GGlad to hear you enjoyed yourself. I forgot to mention that coyotes are in full force right now. I hope that didn’t freak anybody out.
This is a wonderful property -- we've stayed there twice and enjoyed it immensely both times. Beautiful area, and the house is nicely equipped and very clean. Jason was helpful and available for any questions I had.
Jason was awesome!! We visited here for a quick Anniversary get away. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. We got much needed down time. Thank you for being so accommodating - We enjoyed our stay!
Well, worth a detour on the second night of a 3-day road trip from New Jersey to Kansas City. The host went above and beyond by setting up a cold plunge for us on his deck, to help us wake up in the morning. The infrared sauna made the whole experience awesome.
We absolutely loved our stay! It is such a peaceful and beautiful home and property. The hosts were communicative and made our stay so enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend this lovely home enough.
The hosts were lovely,had great little touches that made it feel like home. They answered all of my questions quickly, the property was great and we will be back. Its a 5 out of 5 stars for my group. The added bonus was how flexible and easy it was to bring our 10 year old french bull dog,they had a dog bed and even a kennel....Thank you for being pet friendly....AWESOME
Spent an unforgettable New Year’s weekend at this cozy countryside house. The place was spotless and warmly decorated, with a magical quiet all around. We loved starting our mornings in the sauna, unwinding in the outdoor hot tub under the stars, and ending the night learning from youtube tutorials to play songs on the piano, with a glass of wine on the side. The host was kind, responsive, and made check-in very easy, we were allowed to late check-out too. Perfect spot to relax, reset, and celebrate, would happily come back and highly recommend.
Beautiful property in the country to sit, relax and enjoy the quite atmosphere. We had gone to town for a bit to eat. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly..
House was clean, comfortable, plenty of towels and plenty of kitchen items. Front porch is covered and very peaceful to sit out and enjoy the country!! I will definitely stay there again!!
An excellent place, it has Everything one needs plus a few things. It’s quiet, secluded and lovely. The tv is gargantuan the owners are wonderful. We’ll certainly be back.
What an awesome place to stay! Beautiful area, huge oak trees. I loved walking outside at night and seeing stars from horizon to horizon. The house was quiet, very clean and had everything we could ask for or needed. Jason contacted us to make sure we were able to get inside. My only regret is we didn’t stay here longer!
