Enjoy the forest views from the large deck and serene atmosphere of this amazing 2.5-acre, forested property. The backyard has a gas fire pit with seating and a play area for kids constructed out of logs harvested from the property. (Pictures coming soon!) Enjoy games as a family in the backyard during the day, like corn hole and horseshoes, or into the twilight hours with cafe lighting to illuminate the space. There is additional dining space on the deck with a table for 6, an additional kid's picnic table, and a flattop grill (ready to use with propane). The living room has double doors and screens to open up to the large deck, as does the master bedroom. The downstairs also has access to the backyard. Guests will often see deer and wild turkey during their stay. Keep an eye out for foxes, eagles, and hawks as well!
There is plenty of parking on the large driveway and a great 4.5-mile hiking trail a 1/4 mile walk down our road. Even walking the dirt roads in the neighborhood is like a lovely walk through the woods! This is the perfect home for a family reunion, to prep for a wedding, or hold a small retreat. Guests have hosted rehearsal dinners and post-wedding brunches at the property. This is allowed as long as you ask ahead of time. (Please no drunken ragers.)
THIS IS A NO SMOKING PROPERTY. Smoking, or fires of any kind (including cigarettes/cigars/marijuana/fireworks/firecrackers/sparklers) are not allowed. We are at extreme risk of forest fires after a dry winter. Please do not smoke on the property. Even cigarette butts are a serious concern at the moment.
