First floor: Relax in the large living room around the wood-burning stove. Enjoy the various spaces (reading, games) 2nd floor: 2 bedrooms with 1 king-size bed (or 2 single beds), each with a bathroom with a walk-in shower and toilet, 1 bedroom with 1 king-size bed (or 2 single beds), and 1 bathroom with a bathtub and toilet.
