The space

This one-of-a-kind cottage looks like it's out of a fairy tale. It is a lovely mix of antique and modern, nestled in the middle of a giant oak forest. There is a loft bedroom upstairs with lots of windows and a very luxurious pillow-top queen bed. Adjacent to that is a second queen bed in a smaller "cubby hole". This unit sleeps four but keep in mind the beds are in close proximity which may not be ideal for everyone.

It’s a unique treehouse style.



Downstairs is a living room with lots of stained glass windows and a floor made out of actual stones- (might want to bring slippers for extra walking comfort). There is a kitchenette with a stainless steel sink, fridge, toaster oven, The cottage features a handcrafted bathroom with cedar walls and a large marble bathtub that's over 2 feet deep (decadent soaking available)!



We provide all basic needs except toiletries. There is a k-cup coffee maker and hot water kettle inside the unit.



To complement the 'old world' feel we have a brand new wireless router with extremely fast WIFI at 85mb per sec. We also have a new, very reliable tankless hot water heater that never runs out of hot water for the bath/shower.



You will be nestled in a 13-acre mountain village with other cottages, forests and mountain views. You’d never know you were anywhere near a city!

DISCLAIMER: NO CANDLES, SAGE, INCENSE, or other BURN MATERIALS, we are in a FIRE ZONE. NO PARTIES OR LOUD MUSIC, Quiet time after 9pm. This is quite different from staying in an ordinary hotel. We are really in NATURE here - these are older cottages hand-built by artists in the forest. They are very rustic! It's like living in a mountain village, with other cottages nearby. While we work very hard to keep our places pristine and spotless - if anyone in your party will faint if they see a bug or lizard or little frog inside - then this probably isn't the place for you. Please be very careful booking cottages for someone else - like your parents just arriving from another continent - they might prefer something more conventional.



Some folks describe our places as a luxurious form of camping. We make our cottages very comfortable - they have all the basics - electricity - WIFI - most have kitchens, bath or shower and comfy clean beds. But they are not like a hotel with perfect walls and a sterile atmosphere. Please look at all the pictures and read all the reviews. We can't offer refunds just because we don't meet the standards of a normal hotel. Most people are charmed by this idyllic and bohemian lifestyle - but it's not for everyone.
