Set at a temperature of 85-88 degrees, it will provide a nice relaxing float to start or end your day. (Floaties and pool towels are provided) Challenge each other to a game of pool or start an 8-ball competition on the custom billiards table with hand-carved eagle claw feet and pearl inlays.

(Locally sourced pure maple syrup is provided) \*\*\*THE OUTDOORS\*\*\* Step outside and explore an abundance of trails, wildlife and fresh air. Keep an eye out for deer, squirrels, foxes, hummingbirds, wild turkeys or even the neighbor’s friendly black German Shepherd, Brody, who loves to visit. The deer come in nightly looking for corn, carrots or apples. Feel free to bring some feed for them if you want them to hang out longer. While exploring, you might notice a small hunting cabin tucked away in the back acreage — this is used during hunting season and adds to the rustic charm of the property. There is no access off-season but arrangements can be made to make it available for you in-season. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Indoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 12 accessible parking spaces - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Heated pool - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83430000/83428300/83428253/ed1f5c54.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pinecone Cabin - Near Higgins Lake & Trails!
