GOOD TO KNOW
- The estate sits at the end of a 1-mile unpaved road through the woods, which crosses a bridge rated for 80,000 lbs. The road is shared with 4 neighbors, so please drive slowly. Standard cars, trucks, and horse trailers all make the drive fine. Just take it slow, and know you aren't lost when you're going through the woods!
- Keeping 14 acres looking their best takes regular care. Our pool service visits weekly, and our groundskeeper may be on the grounds or in the barn as needed. Visits are scheduled to keep disruption low. The main house is never entered by staff, so the entire interior is yours alone during your stay.
- Check-in details and access codes are sent after booking.
