We live just down the road and work on the property in our spare time. We and our team handle the maintenance and management with as little interruption to guests as possible. Routine outdoor maintenance for the 40 acre property is typically scheduled after 10am for lawn, pond, hot tub, firewood, etc. Hot tub maintenance is communicated with guests in advance. .
We are in a rural location with plenty of space between neighbors. Even with space, sound can travel. We ask that you be considerate especially after 10pm. While the properties are set back from the road by over 300ft, you can still hear some light traffic noise from the front porch occasionally. These two properties are across the driveway from one another.
- Long driveway with private parking for 40+ vehicles - Both homes are rented together and share only the driveway entrance; each has separate living spaces
Gather family and friends in two neighboring homes with a private pond, hot tub, sport courts, and lots of space for dining, games, and fireside fun. (shared drive way)

This property is well maintained and the hosts really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and accommodating! We used this location for a business planning retreat and we had more than enough space for our group of 8. We will definitely be back!

We had a 5 night stay using both the retreat house and the barn for a family reunion. The retreat house was well configured for handicap accessible on the main level. Lots of great activities for young kids through adults. Will definitely be back!
