Historic 1900 General Store – Fully Restored
Originally built in 1900 as a general store and mill, then later a 1930s–40s dance hall, this iconic building has been thoughtfully restored into three private living spaces combined into one expansive retreat:
- Cliffside - a two bedroom, two bathroom retreat directly off the driveway downstairs with two living rooms and a futon
- Birds Nest - the upstairs apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 1 step in the front door, but accessible via the side entrance with only a sliding door threshold to enter (no steps), with two living spaces and a futon
- Hide Away - a cozy little studio and bathroom in the upstairs corner best served for the family introvert or consummate napper so as to not be disturbed by others in your party

When you book, you receive the entire property — ideal for groups who want connection with a little breathing room and privacy in their own space.
