About this property
The Forest Escape: a newly renovated basement apartment nestled in the woods
Escape to this freshly renovated basement apartment nestled in the woods—where natural light pours in and the views are simply breathtaking. Though located on the lower level, this walkout space feels anything but dark, thanks to large windows that frame the surrounding forest and bring the outdoors in.
Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook, bake, or just brew a great cup of coffee. The apartment also includes private laundry, fast Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches throughout to make your stay feel like home.
Whether you're here for a quiet weekend away, a longer work-from-nature retreat, or just passing through, you’ll appreciate the modern comforts, peaceful setting, and easy access to nearby trails and towns.
Best of all, there are no checkout chores—just pack up and head out when you're ready.
Your cozy woodland escape awaits.
Two additional twin beds are available for guests.
