About this property
Quiet Country Cottage-Three bedrooms, Hot tub, Sauna, Fishing pond
Small home with lots of space to relax and reconnect with yourself or your loved ones. Great for a couple's retreat, relaxing honeymoon, anniversary celebration, or just a chance to get away from town and the hustle and bustle of life. The open fields provide plenty of sky to look up at and dream and lots of grass to plant your feet in to get grounded. Your only neighbor is the owners main house with a grassy field in-between and no facing windows. Very private.
Two person outdoor hot tub perfect for star gazing at night. No light pollution. The property is ideal for photographers or artist to build their portfolios or write your next novel. The owners are happy to accommodate for your needs, just ask.
Indoor 2 person Far Infrared Sauna. Massage table available if wellness and health is your focus. Main bedroom has a queen bed with grounding mat. Second bedroom has a queen bed with memory foam topper. Bedroom three with West facing windows has a double futon and extra twin mattress. Washer and dryer. Quiet walks, no traffic. Dogs welcome although there is no fenced in yard. Kitchen equipped with essentials.
The area has 2 nearby lakes and 2 single person kayaks or canoe available for rent. Lane is a dead end so no through traffic enhances this private location. Relax and enjoy bird-watching and quiet walks. Home is ADA friendly except for the gravel driveways. Fishing in the pond by the owners home is available by request- dependent on weather and current activities. Bluegill, Red-ear, and Bass. Catch and release or keep for dinner. ( please throw back any bass over 15'')
Barn in the back of owner's property is also available for use in events at an additional fee. Contact owner for further details.
