About this property
Backwoods Family and Friends Private Retreat
Welcome to your Backwoods Family and Friends Private Retreat. This Ultra Private, Corner Lot Home completely surrounded by large mature trees and backs up to the Cleveland National Forest. This spacious estate will host your Family Vacation or Small Group. This Single Level "Ranch Style" property sitting on well over an acre of land boasts an expansive backyard with loads of things to entertain for everyone as it is designed for the perfect "Staycation."
Under the massive Backyard Patio feature, we've created outdoor seating/dining for up to 16 people. There is also a large BBQ island featuring a Natural Gas BBQ, a beverage refrigerator and an outdoor cooktop for entertaining outdoors overlooking the beautiful hillside surroundings.
Pamper your family or group with the Large "Cedaroma" Hot Sauna, with seating for up to 12 people. Just outside the Sauna you can heat up the evening chill with our Large 10 person Jacuzzi Spa, which overlooks the large 6 Hole Putting Green, great entertainment for the whole Family or Group.
Nestled within the trees on the rear banks of the property is a Large lighted Treehouse for the kids overlooking the entire backyard and our newly installed Natural Rock Waterfall and 6 Hole Putting Green. Water cascading down the slope, adding a natural ambience to your experience of this beautiful outdoor space.
At the base of the Waterfall, we've installed a Natural Gas Firepit with enough seating for your entire group to sit around the fire telling stories, making S'Mores and making memories. (Please bring your own firewood and Fire Starter) Adjacent to the firepit you can test your skills in the Horseshoe pit.
Inside we have designed a custom Game Room with Billiards and Ping Pong with a 75" HD Smart TV with Netflix. Throughout the home is 1000 MBPS WIFI.
