Guests can enjoy a serene, cozy space with a bathroom that includes a shower. The quaint interior offers thoughtful touches like heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable year round.

    After a short walk you will find our Mercantile store, our Traveler’s trunk boutique and beautiful natural pond for lounging around it and relaxation. Our pond is now for relaxing by the water and feeding the koi fish only. Unfortunately, swimming is not permitted for rental guests.

    There is a natural pond, swinging tree hammocks, children’s playground, bistro tables everywhere, this rental comes with a private washer dryer in the rental and plenty of farmland to explore!
