There is a down-stairs living area that is comprised of a large bed-room that hosts a queen size bed, a futon (pull out full size bed) and an amish made rocker. Stairs leading to the downstairs bed-room/living area are complete with log rails & log gate for safety. Mountain Home has a covered porch with comfortable Adirondack Chairs plus an open deck to relax outdoors.
There is an outdoor grill (bring your own charcoal) and fire pit (please keep fires small and contained). An outdoor hose is available. Soft sandy ground easily tracks through the home so please, we ask that you remove your shoes upon entering. Water is safe to drink. Septic system on property can handle toilet paper only.
The Mountain Home is cleaned with all natural cleaners by (PUR Evergreen) products, Milliken, Co.
Ausable Acres is a quiet neighborhood. Evening quiet hours are in place from 10pm to 7am. . As such, we have the expectation that our guests will honor the peace & quiet of the surrounding area. If you are unable to do so and are disruptive, you will be asked to leave our home without refund.
Guest access
You have the Mountain Home to yourself. There is a washing machine and dryer in the basement available for guest use ( soaps are not supplied ). Please care for our home as if it were yours. Thank you.

A wonderful stay at a beautiful place

The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable! Lots of pillows and warm blankets for the bedroom for the colder nights (we’re from Florida so 50 is cold for us), we didn’t need to turn up the heat too far for good sleeping nor for being up and about the house. Surrounded by natural forest and neighbors that are far enough away that it feels private and is very peaceful. There’s a porch that wraps around the half of the house that faces woods and the fire pit/bbq area, so during the day you’ll catch beautiful sunlight through the trees and some chipmunks that appear at times. At night, it’s very dark unless the moon is out so you’ll be greeted with the wonderful sounds of crickets and such while the glow from the inside lights gives you a different view of the woods. When you go up the steps to get onto the porch, there’s a latched gate so that any bigger forest residents can’t get onto the porch; however while we were there we never even saw anything bigger than the chipmunk. Still, the gate provides nice peace of mind. I highly recommend John’s house for your vacation stay! There’s a grocery store, a Family Dollar, and some other businesses not too far away for your needs. I found that there are a very limited number of places here and there in the area that only want cash, so it’s a good idea to plan accordingly. (I know, weird in the 21st century to take only cash.) The mountains are calling!
