Stay at Gray Goose Cottage and enjoy this charming delightfully decorated home for the holiday season. This charming home is located 23 miles from Intel, 3 miles from Cooper Progress Park 0.7, miles from the Kokosing Gap Trail/Memorial Park, 1.2 miles from the Mt Vernon square, 4.1 miles to Kenyon College, 2.8 miles from Mt Vernon Nazarene University, and 2 miles from Knox Community Hospital. This charming 4 bedroom home is a perfect getaway or family gathering place during the holidays. When you see the clean transitional design, comfortable furnishings, and cozy rooms you will never want to leave!
★★Indoor Space★★
Kitchen/Living/Dining Space:
When you walk in you will be awed by the spacious fully stocked kitchen ready for you and your family to whip up a meal together. There is a coffee/snack station off the kitchen as you walk into the dining room that offers complimentary coffee and snacks. The dining room features a modern concrete table for all to gather around. The living room has two sofas plus more seating for your family to sit back and enjoy a movie on the 55" HD TV with Roku that you can stream your favorite movies and TV shows.
Bedrooms:
The home offers 2 bedrooms on the ground floor with queen beds and full closets. A bathroom containing a tub/shower and pedestal sink.
The second floor has an open loft area with a queen size bed, and roll top desk that makes it convenient to work remotely. There is no door to this loft area but it does feel private and is quiet. Our high speed 400Mbps internet will allow you to stream all your video calls and remote meetings with ease.
The fourth bedroom is located off of the loft and contains a double and single bed. There is a door to this room that separates it from the loft. The second bathroom is located on this level and has a walk in rain shower and double vanities.
★★Outdoor Space★★
I'm sure you didn't miss our outdoor entertaining on your way in! We have a two burner gas grill and patio table that seats 6 on the back porch. After dinner snuggle up around the fire pit for drinks or s'mores. Our fire pit is fully stocked with starter logs and everything you will need to enjoy a cozy evening under the stars. What, you didn't bring your marshmallows and graham crackers?! Not to worry we have provided all the fixings for you! Come, sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay at the Gray Goose Cottage!
