🔥 Roast s’mores and swap stories around the outdoor firepit while the kids laugh on the tire swing and zoom down the slide.
🍳 Cook, serve, and celebrate in a stunning new kitchen with a huge counter, barstools, stylish new appliances, and a 12-seat dining table made for big meals and big memories.
💤 Relax in comfort with two king suites, one queen, four twins, a pull-out bed, and a futon—plenty of space for everyone to spread out and unwind.
📚 Slow down and reconnect with board games, books, and cozy nooks made for laughter, late-night chats, or quiet coffee moments.
