With 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 3 different gathering spaces, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. Adults can chat around the fireplace while another group plays cards in the sitting area overlooking the sweeping lawn, and the kids watch a movie in the loft. At bedtime, there's no fighting over who has to sleep on a pull-out couch in this spacious house; Cozy, new beds with plush, high quality bedding comfortably sleep 12.
This charming home is a comfortable, well-appointed, and well-cared-for space that feels more like a favorite family lodge than a polished hotel.
