The space
On the main floor there is a gathering space which includes an open-concept kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining areas, and a game table. The large wrap-around porch is a beautiful place to sit in the mornings and soak up the sun, enjoy the view, or share an evening meal. This is a great location for birding and watching wildlife that live on the property.
*NEW ADDITION: We have added a game room in the garage that contains a foosball table, shuffleboard, dartboard, game table, and ping pong table!
**The house has Wi-Fi and the TVs throughout the home are streaming ready (no cable).
There is an attached manager-occupied apartment above the garage across the breezeway so we can answer questions or address any issues that might come up.

Cabin Addition
Located on the property is a historic, restored sod house with a live green roof. The house has a small kitchen and full bath. One full-size bed and one queen bed are located at one end of the open space where you can fall asleep to the sound of the river. The sod house sleeps four and is available to reserve (for an added fee) in addition to the main house May through September, weather permitting. This addition is $100/night plus an additional cleaning fee of $75. There is no A/C in the sod house, but it stays pretty cool, so it isn't really needed!
***The cabin is a rustic experience for those who don’t mind the possibility of sharing the space with the occasional insect that finds its way inside.
This house was previously listed as "Woodgate Mountain Retreat: 40 Acres of Peace!" and was hosted by a STR management company. We have made the switch to being owner managed.
Guest access
You will have access to the entire home, the gorgeous porch, and the backyard. There is also river access and state water with fishing access upstream of the property between the bridge and the yard!
PLEASE NOTE: We have a local rancher who keeps his cattle on some of the surrounding acreage. We kindly request that you stay out of these areas for safety reasons. They are for your viewing pleasure only.
*PLEASE NOTE: Fishing on the river is acceptable with an appropriate fishing license, but it is catch and release ONLY. The river access from the property is undeveloped so please fish according to your abilities and at your own risk.
***PLEASE NOTE: The sod house on the property is available to rent from May 1st through September 30th. The house sleeps an additional 4 people. The total number of guests the house sleeps without the use of the sod house is 10.
****PLEASE NOTE: The beautiful and unique driveway is hand-placed cobblestone and is bumpy. It is easily manageable for vehicles; however, motorcycles should be aware and use caution.
