at the end of the day relax on the deck with a cuppa or a drop of local wine or brew. listen to the birds, watch the wildlife bounce past,, or cozy up in front of the wood fire, It will be set and ready to stick a match in , with plenty of wood available in your space. , tv, ipod dock, books, magazines, movies, games,and internet access (this can be intermittent) are all available.
Our family home is also on the property, so should you need anything we are more than happy to help.
If you are looking for great places to eat out, the Cabin is only minutes away from Grandvewe Sheep Cheesery and provedore and the award winning Peppermint Bay Restaurant.
