About this property
Serene 5BR Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Privacy
Welcome to a home where comfort meets calm.
This thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath retreat offers generous space for families and groups who value privacy, quality time, and a serene setting. Whether you're planning a holiday gathering, multi-generational trip, or long weekend escape, the layout allows everyone to spread out while still coming together with ease.
The expansive living areas invite movie nights, card games, and unhurried conversations. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals simple and enjoyable—perfect for guests who prefer dining in together.
Step outside and unwind in the hot tub, surrounded by peaceful private wooded views and fresh air. Guests often share how “at home” they feel here—comfortable, relaxed, and cared for.
Two bedrooms share a bath, while the remaining bedrooms offer their own bathroom, creating a balanced blend of privacy and connection.
