The lower level is also home to our other Queen bedroom and then our double twin bedroom. This home features a comfortable screened in porch on the main level w/deck and then a great place to sit on the patio below and look out over the yard.

Friends annual getaway
This was home-base for an annual gathering of long-time friends. Through pictures descriptions and correspondence, we could tell exactly what we were getting. The bedrooms and en suites were clean and comfortable. I especially liked the owner’s suite. The living areas were very comfortable. We really enjoyed gathering on the deck backing up to the forest. The entire group really enjoyed the whole property.
