Access by car to a secluded beach half a mile away, open fields with walking paths are just the beginning of this quiet private place. A huge deck for entertaining, a covered carport and laundry facility are included. It's name is 'Udder Heaven' because it once housed the dairy, when the farm was active.

Cleaning services can be arranged. Please bring your own linens and towels, there are 2 twin beds and one queen bed, plus a convertible couch.

Utilities are part of the rent, local phone service is provided, basic cable TV and a DVD player are included. The normal rental period is from 2:00 PM on Saturday to 9:30 AM Saturday, so we can squeeze in a thorough cleaning.
