Whether you’re traveling with extended family, two couples, or a small group of friends, this combined retreat gives you the best of both worlds: shared outdoor space and proximity, with the flexibility of two distinct homes.
The Setup You’ll have exclusive access to both cottages: Meme’s Cottage – cozy, charming, and ideal for relaxing evenings Papa’s Cottage – bright, modern, and perfect for gathering and entertaining
Together, the cottages offer multiple living areas, kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms — making it easy for everyone to feel at home without being on top of each other.

Great location!
It was a great set-up for two families who want to stay close have separate space . Awesome location for hiking and visiting all of the family friendly breweries in the area.
They have a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a great outdoor area with fire pits and a hot tub. Kids and adults had a great time!

Wonderful!
The property was ideally located, lovely views, and perfect for our small bachelorette celebration. Our rental was inclusive of both cottages (Meme's & Papa's). Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and many thoughtful extras. Communication with the property hosts was excellent. Only wished our stay could have been longer!!
