About this property

The Sleepy Fox Cottage: A Cozy Getaway with a Touch of History

The Sleepy Fox Cottage has a unique story—once a workshop, now renovated into a mother-in-law suite after a black walnut tree fell through it. Now, this warm and cozy cottage blends charming character with modern touches for the perfect getaway. Located in the heart of town, The SFC puts everything you need within walking distance—grocery store, restaurants, a park, and more. We hope you'll consider being a part of the story!
