🧊 Full-size refrigerator

🔪 Dishwasher, toaster, cookware, and more
The luxury bath feels like a spa: sleek design, double vanities, a pebble-floor walk-in shower, and seating for comfort.
The king bedroom features high-end linens, a closet, and drawers for storage. Sliding doors open directly to your private deck and garden.
And if you need more space, check out our sister unit Faith Cottage - We’re happy to send you a link!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ “The property was amazing. We felt at home. The cabin was squeaky clean and presented beautifully. The private porches and space is so pleasant. We also enjoyed all the extras....gated property (felt very safe and private), common area in yard (including the play area for games) and extra bathroom and bath, coffee, and half and half, and hand soaps, shampoo, conditioner and bath gel for showers. We were soo relaxed, wanted to leave shades open the entire time to enjoy the beauty of the gardens.” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
