Immediately, floor-to-ceiling picture windows that adorn the front wall capture your gaze with stunning outdoor views. As you make your way down the stairs, exposed oak beams, slate floors, and a grand floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication, inviting you to unwind and soak in the natural beauty.
The large front doors of the living space open directly onto a beautiful stone patio where a charming dining table awaits, offering a picturesque setting for al fresco meals. Fire up the large grill and savor the flavors of outdoor dining against the backdrop of breathtaking views, creating unforgettable moments under the open sky.
An entertainer’s delight, the kitchen is equipped with professional Viking appliances: stove, refrigerator and oven where chefs and bakers alike will feel right at home. Boasting slate-tiled floor and a handcrafted oak dining table seating 8, this space is perfect for gathering with loved ones and creating lasting memories.
Retreat in comfort in four spacious bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to ensure a restful night's sleep and a rejuvenating stay.

Bedroom 2, also on the main level, has a cozy Full bed with ensuite bathroom. On the second level, Bedroom 3 has Queen bed and ensuite bathroom, and Bedroom 4, is ideal for families with three Twin beds and scenic views.
As the sun sets, gather around the inviting fire pit and enjoy the warmth of crackling flames, creating the perfect ambiance for cozy evenings under the stars. For the adventurous souls, a network of marked hiking trails meanders through the picturesque landscape, beckoning you to explore and discover hidden treasures at every turn. Take the paddleboat for a row across the shimmering pond, where you can also enjoy swimming and fishing, or simply sunbathe while taking in the serene natural surroundings. The pond is approximately 1.5-2 acres in size and is stocked with bass, crappie, and catfish.

Summary: Celebrating a family birthday for a long weekend this was the perfect place. We used the wood burning fireplace nonstop. We cooked in the gourmet kitchen on the Viking stove, played pool and darts in the barn and hiked around. Property manager responded to questions immediately. We hope to return again soon!
