The fully stocked, updated kitchen has everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals together. Gather around the large dining table for family dinners or pull up a seat at the island bar for coffee and conversation.
The open flow extends into two inviting living rooms, offering plenty of space to reconnect. Cozy up for a movie night on the 65" 4K TV, watch your favorite team, or enjoy a round of board games. A fully stocked beverage bar ensures refreshments are always within reach.
Please Note: The main living space, including the primary bedroom, is located on the second floor and requires one flight of stairs for access.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind, providing extra blankets and pillows. Blackout blinds or curtains ensure a peaceful night's rest, allowing you to fully unwind during your vacation.

Garage Gameroom:
We've transformed the garage into a game room including pool, ping pong, giant Connect Four, yard games, and more! Gather around the bar top seating for drinks, laughs, and friendly competition. The garage game room includes a propane heater for extra comfort, but as it’s still a garage, expect cooler temps and plan to bundle up during the winter season.
Outdoor Space:
Enjoy the expansive deck with a grill, dining table, and chairs, plus cozy rocking chairs under bistro lights. Surrounded by trees, the firepit offers the perfect spot for evening relaxation.
