About the House
Your escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life begins as you wind up from the river valley along a ÂŒ mile gravel road. Youâll find the house nestled into the hillside and surrounded by acres of undeveloped woodland.
Inside, you'll feel right at home with the cozy cabin charm, complete with everything you'll need for a hassle-free and relaxing stay. The house is fully-stocked with household essentials and the âlittle thingsâ that often donât get packed, so don't worry if you forgot your toothbrush, sunscreen, or the marshmallows - we've got you covered!
The house was built in 1972 as a fishing cabin, and we have made a number of renovations while trying to preserve the original character. While you'll find new flooring and fixtures, the large stone fireplace, wood paneling, and ceiling rafters still lend a rustic air. We hope you'll get a kick out of some of the vintage decor and accessories, like the â70s era fondue pot and slow cooker, but we've also equipped the house with modern amenities like a gas grill and air fryer.
The main living area includes a living room, dining area, and full kitchen. The large windows and high ceiling make this area feel spacious and bright. Thereâs plenty of room for the whole family on the comfy sectional couch, and the dining table seats six. The Roku TV has Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max accounts, as well as live Roku channels.
The kitchen has everything youâll need to prepare meals at home, from cookware to spices, condiments, and coffee. Appliances include an air fryer, microwave, panini press, drip coffee maker and stovetop espresso maker.

Relax like royalty in the master bedroomâs king 4-poster bed with luxurious Sealy Posturepedic mattress. The second bedroom is the âkids room,â with a twin-over-full bunk bed with pull-out twin trundle. For larger groups, extra linens are available to make up the living room sectional couches, each large enough for one adult to sleep comfortably.
Outdoors, the busy flock of hummingbirds will likely keep you company while you relax on the porch swing or hammock. Enjoy a romantic dinner on the patio table as the sun sets over the mountain. After dark, solar lighting guides you down the hill to the outdoor firepit, supplied with firewood and the perfect spot for marshmallows under the stars.
