About this property
Let your stress melt away at the B.O.B. House
The "Barn Out Back" is a 1 bed, 1 bath efficiency cabin, located poolside. Perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and unplugging. We turned what used to be our horses' barn into an adorable, rustic short-term rental. The B.O.B. house stands for the Barn Out Back, but it is dedicated to my late father, Bob. He loved to work with wood and had lots of lumber left at his home after he passed. We incorporated all of his wood to create this unique and rustic cabin.
Due to the increasing number of requests, the following is being added to the description:
The pool and property is for registered guest only. Limit of 2 adults. We do not allow children at the pool. There are no parties or events allowed at this property. Persons other than those on the rental request are not allowed on the property.
These rules strictly apply due to liability reasons.
We are ABSOLUTELY dog friendly, we Love all fur babies. However, dogs are NOT allowed in the swimming pool. Dogs may roam the property and swim in the pond....but guests that violate this policy and allow dogs in the pool will be asked to leave the premises with no refund. There is no safe entry or exit for dogs at the pool. This places the dogs at risk and also increases the risk of damage to the liner of the pool.
Thank you for your understanding.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Colleen LaCroix
Jeff is retired and I am a nurse. We love to travel, spend time outdoors, and most recently, we have really enjoyed hosting guests to our 2 rental properties. We have one long term rental, and the BOB House, which is a perfect option for 1 or 2 guests looking to disconnect and relax for a short period of time.
Why they chose this property
The BOB House is very special to me, as it is named in honor of my late father. Also stands for the "Barn Out Back" as it was the home for our horses for many years. We used the wood my father had left in his shop to create this beautiful rustic cabin. The BOB House is located near the pool, and offers a very secluded and private feel. You really feel like you are in the country when you are here, but you are very close to everything you would possibly need. If you are needing two bedrooms, please check out Chateau LaCroix, which is our other property.
What makes this property unique
The nightly price is for the unit, pool access, and outdoor seating.
