This bedroom features a full-sized desk and “Alexa” so it could also be used for office space. In addition to being part of and accessed by stairs from the main level of the house, this level also has a door going outdoors, so this level would also be good for adults who wanted their own private entrance.
The Game Room features a combo mini game table that includes Foosball, billiards, hockey, and shuffleboard. There is also a tabletop Pac-Man game and pinball game, dartboard and board games. The room also has a queen-size, pull-out sleeper sofa that can sleep 2 guests, as well as a play area with toys and activities for younger children.

Indoor Whirlpool Hot Tub - All of the same benefits, but “Better than an outdoor hot tub” - Here’s why…. When you use an outdoor hot tub, it has chlorine to kill any bacteria because the water is reused! With our indoor whirlpool hot tub, the water is drained after each use and the tub is thoroughly cleaned after each guest leaves. No leftover dirt, grime, or bacteria. No stinky chlorine smell left on your skin. No worries about sitting outdoors in cold or inclement weather. Enjoy the relaxation, massage, and warmth of a hot tub while viewing nature through the large windows. In addition to the jets, you can turn on the “air bubbles” feature which fills the water with lots of little air bubbles…. So relaxing!
There is a full-size grill with utensils and charcoal, picnic tables, hammock, playground, and a firepit with plenty of firewood included!

Beautiful Secluded Getaway
If you’re looking for a turn-key house, close to amenities, but completely secluded, this is the place for you. Owners are very communicative and close by if any issues arise. House is beyond fully stocked; all you need to bring is food. Look forward to booking again!

Modern mountain family vacation
We had a wonderful time at Joyce and Bryan’s mountain meadows retreat home. The house is beautiful with huge windows overlooking the picturesque property. The house had great additional special touches and many family games for both inside and out. We felt very welcome and at home there. We enjoyed the fire pit with an ample supply of fire wood and took advantage of the charcoal grill with host supplied bricketts and fire starter. The kitchen had everything we could ask for and the property was beautiful and private. We would love to stay there again and will recommend it to friends.

Wonderful !
The property was stunning! The house had all the amenities you would want, plus more surprises at check-in. The hosts were a delight to work with - accepting packages in advance and communicating throughout our stay. There is a book that has all the details you would need for your visit. The layout worked for us as we were the only couple staying and got the King Suite with no guilt. If you are a few couples going on vacation, you'll have to draw straws as the suite is superior to the other rooms. We so appreciated the accuracy of the listing, the cleanliness, the extra towels, the outdoor areas and the attention to details!

About the host

Hosted by Joyce McLane

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Joyce. My husband Bryan and I have spent time on this beautiful pristine property since 1993. We built our dream home here in 1999. We really LOVE the beauty and tranquility of this land. We raised our two daughters here, along with many pets. We love to garden and enjoy mountain life. We really are excited to give others the opportunity to experience this special place!

What makes this property unique

When we bought this property back in 1993, we had been searching for a great property for a long time. When we found this property, we knew this was the one. It was a huge mountain cove that felt totally secluded from the outside world, yet it is easy to get to. The property has everything - pond, creeks, springs, small waterfall, old-growth, trails, views, wildlife, meadow, and historic chestnut barn.
Walk outdoors and feel the stillness, listen to the owls, turkeys, and the Whippoorwill. Watch the deer grazing in the yard. At night watch the stars shimmering in the dark night sky.
When we first moved here a friend from the city and her husband came to visit. We all took a walk to the meadow. All of a sudden, she sounded very startled and said to her husband, "do you hear that?" He said, "hear what?" She then said, "that's just it, nothing, you hear nothing!" Let the silence heal your body and mind.
Eventually, we built our dream home - 23' high ceiling in Great room, floor to ceiling windows for a great view, open-concept with modern touches. We absolutely love this special place and think others will too! We love being able to share this gem with you.
