IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
We are delighted that you're considering staying with us! Our home has been lovingly remodeled to combine modern comforts with a rustic charm that sets it apart. Please note, this is not a five-star hotel experience, but rather a unique, character-filled home where you can enjoy privacy, comfort, and space.
Our property offers: Spacious, clean accommodations with fun amenities like a swimming pool, hot tub, disc golf, basketball, axe throwing, corn-hole, etc. All in a peaceful and private setting
PLEASE BE AWARE: This home has a unique charm that comes with its age, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. We take great care to ensure everything is clean and well-maintained, but like any older home, it has its own character and a few quirks. Occasionally, a guest may notice something like a bit of dust on a windowsill, a few leaves in the pool, or a light residue on the grill. While we strive to provide a wonderful experience, we also embrace the home’s unique character. If you appreciate a space with personality and charm and are looking for a cozy, relaxing stay at a great value, we think you’ll love it here. However, if you’re seeking a pristine, luxury hotel-style experience, this may not be the best fit. Our home is best enjoyed by those who value comfort, character, and a welcoming atmosphere.
