The space
Our home was constructed in the late 1940s as a one room stone cottage. Rooms were added on over time. In 2008 we purchased it and did a major renovation, opening it up to family, friends and guests. The inside is mostly stone and wood, a grounding and comforting retreat from a restless world. Two wonderful beds with great mattresses (a queen and a double). We have a cot with a foam mattress for your 5th guest.

The cottage is rustic but comfortable with welcoming wood floors, blackout curtains for a good night's sleep and a new heating/cooling system installed in 2022. Because our interior walls are stone, you may see an occasional bug but regular extermination keeps this to a minimum. Door openings into bedrooms are a bit low - so if you are 6' tall, you will need to duck your head. Many people love this space, but if you are looking for a hotel feel, it is probably best to look for a hotel!

We are so happy to have speedy reliable internet provided by the Starlink satellite system. So, yes, you can work from the cottage!
