Inside the cottage:
You enter into a lovely sitting room that opens into both the kitchen and dining space. Enjoy your morning coffee in this sweet seating area, perfect for conversation or indulging in your favorite book. The dining space seats up to 8 guests, and is a wonderful space for enjoying a meal or engaging in a board game or puzzle. The main living room is just off the dining space and includes a comfy sofa, overstuffed chair, Smart TV and electric fireplace. There's even a small gaming table ready for a round of cards. Also in this space is an ottoman that opens up into a twin size bed for an additional sleeping space.
In the kitchen, you will find all you need for whipping up meals including brand new stainless steel appliances that include a four-burner glass top stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and plenty of dishes/pots and pans. The primary bedroom on the main floor has just been refreshed to include a queen size bed, storage, a private desk space for checking emails and a Smart TV. Both bathrooms are also on the main floor. The back bath has a walk-in shower and washer/dryer, while the hall bath is split between a shower room and 1/2 bath (toilet and sink).
The upstairs second and third bedrooms are accessed by a steep and narrow staircase. The second bedroom has a full-size bed and TV and the third bedroom has plenty of room for the kids to stretch out, with 3 full size beds and TV. Outside, everyone can have fun exploring the shared outdoor areas that include private trails down to and alongside the creek, the community gazebo and the backyard seating areas and fire pit (Burn Ban in effect July 1 to Oct 1) These outdoor areas are shared with guests who may be occupying the other vacation rental on the property along with the homeowner who lives in the main house.
