The home has 3 sitting areas - living room, entertainment room and a reading room. This sophisticated home is furnished with all the necessities and comforts to make your stay effortless and memorable.
River Orchard Meadow is a lovely setting with a flourishing vegetable and berry garden, new orchard (apples, cherries, peaches and pears) and a stunning fire pit to have evening gatherings. Our deck is outfitted with a charcoal grill and picnic table for 10, 2 large umbrellas, 2 large cushy club chairs and ottomans, and large outdoor fan.
We supply 2 recreational bicycles, 2 kayaks and yoga mats. There is an easy access 90-min gentle kayak route from the Sheffield Covered Bridge back to the property line.
