Screened Porch. Fenced Yard. Pet Friendly. Fire Pit. Outdoor Pergola.
Kick back and relax in this thoughtfully updated cottage. It's the kind of place where time slows down and simple pleasures shine.
Inside, you'll find a semi-custom kitchen with leathered granite counters and stainless appliances - fully stocked with all the dishes and glassware you'll need for your family of four.
The spacious bathroom has a beautiful 48" custom tile shower (no tub) and both bedrooms are ready for restful nights after your mountain adventures.
Start your mornings on the screened front porch with a hot cup of locally roasted coffee. It's a favorite spot for reading, relaxing, or just breathing in the fresh air. The porch has comfy seating for three or four, perfect for unwinding any time of day.
Out back, a fenced yard wraps around the cottage, offering a mix of sunshine and shade. Relax on the deck with casual seating for four. Share dinner or a game of checkers under the custom pergola, or listen to raindrops on the metal roof during a shower.
As the sun sets, gather around the Solo fire pit. We provide enough firewood for at least two fires -and yes, we've got throws if the evening air turns crisp.
Enjoy a game of croquet or corn hole on the lawn.
Stroll over to the Tuxedo community park and enjoy the basketball/pickleball court (borrow our pickleball set), playground, paved trail and Pollinator Garden. Walk or bike around the lake.
Not in the mood to cook? Grubhub & Door Dash deliver right to the cottage.
