The Space:

Morning light filters through the pine canopy as you step onto the front porch swing, coffee in hand, while the creek’s gentle murmur blends with birdsong. In the evening, the fire‑pit glows under a canopy of stars, inviting you to roast s’mores and share stories. Inside, the scent of fresh‑baked bread drifts from a fully stocked kitchen, and the soft crackle of the indoor gas fireplace adds a cozy backdrop to relaxed conversation. Every window frames a view of the surrounding forest, making the mountains feel both grand and intimate.

Outdoor living

A covered pavilion with an oversized wood‑burning fireplace (currently under renovation) anchors the rear patio, while a separate fire‑pit remains ready for s’mores. Super‑comfy couches, captain’s chairs, and a 16‑person dining table create a relaxed setting for meals al fresco. Two creeks converge into a private pond on the two‑acre grounds, offering opportunities for salamander spotting, bird watching, and gentle exploration. A screened porch and front porch swing provide quiet spots for coffee or sunrise contemplation. Remember to lock all food in the home; bears are attracted to unsecured supplies.



Kitchen & dining

The kitchen is equipped with every appliance and utensil a home chef could desire—coffee bar, mixology bar, Insta‑Pot, blender, and ample cookware. A breakfast bar seats three, while a formal indoor dining room comfortably seats eight. Outside, the pavilion’s dining table accommodates sixteen guests, perfect for larger gatherings.



Neighborhood

Just a two‑minute drive to Blue Bike Café for a spectacular breakfast, and the same distance to Main Street’s finest restaurants, boutique shops, and local art galleries. Minutes from popular wedding venues such as Old Edwards, The Farm, and The Hutchinson House, the location blends convenience with mountain charm.
