— LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT SPACES —
“The house was well equipped with fun things to do. The kids loved the karaoke machine and arcade games. The younger kids enjoyed the books and board games.” – Taurie
Two floors means your group has ample space to spread out and relax. First floor is all fun - professional projector and large couch for movie nights, arcade games, pool table, and karaoke machines. Upstairs, you’ll find the adventure continues - another cozy lounge and TV nook with stunning vaulted ceilings and large picture windows plus a poker table, record player and bar.
Truth is, you'll be living on the decks (one on each floor)! Have a quiet morning moment and soak in the views, fire up the grill for an epic feast, then soak in the massive 8-person hot tub under the stars. Rain or shine, the expansive decks are your go-to spot for relaxation and fun.
