The main area of house is an open plan layout, with a wall of sliding glass doors affording views of nature from every point of the house.

This charming retreat was calm , peaceful and perfect for our family of 8. It was the most well stocked short term rental we have ever stayed. Everything but a few groceries were there for us. Cathy was a fantastic host. She responded almost instantly when I asked a question. Thank you

Lovely site. Very calm and Peaceful, Pleasant babbling brook sounds. Enjoyed the hiking trails right behind the house. The house was well equipped with everything needed: salt, poncho, toilet paper, bandages, etc. No need to run out. Totally prepared kitchen with plates, pots, tools. Everything needed was there. Simple check-in. Cathy is very easy to work with.
