The kitchen and living room have cathedral ceilings with skylights. The living room features a tv with satellite, stereo and dvd player. It has a wood burning fireplace and there are also games and movies for your convenience. The kitchen is full and completely functional with a large country table which seats 8 comfortably. Out the kitchen door, it opens up to a large screened in porch which overlooks the water. We love having our morning coffee there. There is also a cooler on the screened in porch for your use. Outside the screened in porch also has an open deck in which grilling is perfect. Under the house, there is a patio area in which you could eat, read, or relax in the hammock. There are corn hole boards and bags for a friendly game. Or take the canoes, kayak or tubes out for a float. Go fishing or swimming right on the property. At night enjoy the large firepit with a fire for smores or cook your meal of hot dogs on it. Please email owner for pet approval--50lbs or less plus we will need to know size and breed.

A really great property and owner. The place was exactly as described. The swing set for the kids was a great addition and a real hit with the kids. The property is super quiet and relaxing. The house is well equipped with everything we needed. I was very impressed with the owner and the communication. This was just a great experience and a stay just as I was hoping for. Thank you!

Perfect family nature getaway

Property is perfectly located on the creek, and exceptionally well stocked + maintained. Our family of 4 (kids 5 and 7) had an amazing time, and particularly enjoyed the fire pit, playground, and proximity to Roaring Run.
