Overview

Please note: there is no air conditioning at the property.  This is standard in many homes in the area due to the elevation. Temperatures may rise during the day, but then fall drastically at night which helps to keep the home cool.  *Also, to make room for the community BBQ grill, folding chairs are provided to guests for use of the fire pit.*

Hardwood floors, picture windows and high ceilings welcome you on the main floor of this two-level cottage, where picture windows offer glimpses of wooded grounds. A full-length leather sectional faces a large-screen TV for quiet evenings after days of adventure, complete with a smart soundbar, cable, a blu-ray player and streaming options. A spacious writer’s desk with storage adds a comfy place to sneak in a day “at the office” during longer stays. When you need a break, step onto one of two covered porches, surrounded by towering cedar trees. The living area opens seamlessly onto a gourmet eat-in kitchen with a six-seat dining table. If you feel inspired to explore your culinary side, you can craft home-cooked meals with state-of-the art appliances by Bosch, GE, and Liebherr.
