About this property
Pet Friendly - Gryffin RidgeThe Magic Forest
Stay-Relax-Rejuvenate: A luxurious retreat tucked into the trees, just minutes from downtown Huntsville. The Guest House is equipped with everything from a full kitchenette and fiber-optic internet to the wood for your private firepit.
We welcome up to two, 4 legged, well-behaved guests. Your dog (s) will love romping with our 2 Aussies and hiking the many pet-friendly hiking trails in the Huntsville area. We ask that during the initial introduction of your pets to our farm animals, you have them leashed. (this is for the protection of the goats and chickens) Once they meet and greet, in all likelihood, the leash can be dispensed with.
The Heating and Air Conditioning unit is an environmentally friendly heat pump system. It is a true revolution in year-round comfort. The washroom has a glass shower, vanity and sink. The toilet is a Norwegian designed model called the "Cinderella". A truly unique design that is new to Canada.
Enjoy the picnic table, firepit and hammocks located just outside the fenced pasture area. Please visit our Hobby Farm consisting of Dwarf Nigerian Goats and Exotic Chickens.
