About this property
Private, Secluded, Family-Friendly Cottage with 2 mini-cabins and swimming pool.
Our Secluded Woodland Retreat is Unique. it features 3 secluded cottages (1 main cottage and 2 mini-cabins) on a three-acre property surrounded by Forest. We have no neighbors. The yard features a fire pit, and most yard sports. Relax on the hammock or take a nature hike down a wooded trail. Our property is surrounded by 40 acres of wooded state land. Those 40 acres are adjacent to thousands of acres of wooded state land with trails throughout. We have a swimming Pool.
The main cottage is 1,800 sf with 3 Loft bedrooms, a bunk bed room and 2 full bathrooms. All Loft bedrooms are located in the third level loft, these three bedrooms featuring 1 king size bed each. The bunk bed room is located on the ground level. The main cottage sleeps a total of 14 people comfortably (22 persons if both Mini Cabins are Added). The second floor of the main cottage includes a full kitchen & dining area, living room with couches, a 60” TV, full bathroom, and laundry. The second floor also features multiple outdoor decks and stairs connecting other various & unique areas. Main cottage bottom floor has been converted into a bunk bed room (so that we can offer sleeping accommodations with bathroom access on the ground floor) and 1 full bathroom.
There are 2 “mini cabins” on the property that are available to rent at an additional price for larger groups: Mini Cabin #1 is approximately 20 feet from the main cottage. Mini Cabin #2 is approximately 100 feet from the main cottage and built close to the water. Both Mini Cabins comfortably sleep 3-4 people. Each Mini Cabin is about 240 sf and feature:
• A full-size futon, recliner, and coffee table on the 1st level
• A queen bed in the loft area
Our Woodland Retreat is very private with a huge yard and no neighbors.
