About this property
Minutes To Town, Wooded 2 Acre Retreat
Authentic & Old Highland Cottage updated for the modern era, nestled on two wooded acres, including a creek and walking trails.
The cabin offers a relaxing queen bedroom, a cozy bedroom with one twin bed and a twin bunk bed. There is also the option of a foldout couch for additional sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is a part of the living room and allows everyone to be included in the activity. It is equipped with storage and most items you would normally need for preparation. The dining table is perfect for a family meal or game night. Others may prefer to unwind in the leather chair or chaise lounge and enjoy a fire. Children and adults alike will enjoy wandering the property and discovering fun hideouts, the creek, a tree house, a pavilion by the creek, and a swing for further thrills.
A short walk takes you to Mirror Lake or Lake Sequoia to feed the ducks, fish or canoe. We have a canoe for your use at Mirror Lake. Fishing gear is provided as well.
