About the space:
Unwind in the quiet serenity of our cabin, thoughtfully designed to showcase the pond and mountain views at every turn.

You’ll enter next to the garage and head upstairs into a welcoming hallway that leads to the bedrooms, kitchen, and dining area.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and settle in after a day outdoors. Just off the kitchen, a covered porch with a dining area and propane grill invites you to enjoy meals in the fresh air. The front deck offers another tranquil spot to take in the views and unwind.

Inside the living room, a wall of large windows fills the space with natural light and keeps the landscape in view throughout your stay, bringing a sense of calm to every moment.

Step outside and enjoy even more of the property. Gather around the fire pit surrounded by 8 Adirondack chairs, perfect for evenings under the stars. Picnic tables and other outdoor seating options are located around the property. Guests who stay in early autumn can enjoy apples from the mature apple trees on the property as well.

The private, swimmable pond offers a true escape, complete with a 3 person canoe available for guest use. Guests are welcome to bring their own non-motorized watercrafts for use on the pond as well. The dock provides easy access to the swim area, with fabric pond bottom covering and ladder. You'll share it with other local wildlife, including frogs, turtles, and our friendly resident fish that love to nibble! If you're lucky, you may even spot an otter or two!

With minimal light pollution in a Bortle 2 sky, the nights here often offer incredible stargazing and a rare chance to fully experience the night sky.

Peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature --> this is a place to slow down, recharge, and fully enjoy the setting.
