The kitchen, dining and upper living areas are open and spacious so guests can comfortably spend time together. There is a fireplace for chilly nights, multiple board games for family / friend entertainment and a large TV. The upstairs living area has large sliding doors that open to a spacious deck. The deck overlooks the lower patio area and the wooded scenery which is teaming with an array of native wildlife. Deer, fox, eagles, wild swans, groundhogs and owls are all local residents- just to name a few. The woods are also a temporary home / stopping place to a wide array of migratory birds- many of which are considered “uncommon” or “rare”.

The lower level bedroom offers a twin over full bunk bed, with an additional twin size trundle tucked under the bunkbed.
In the lower level family room you’ll find a twin size rollaway bed, the queen sized sleeper sofa and a small cot.
The lower level family room offers additional seating space with the leather sofa and chairs. Here is also where you’ll find a game room arcade with 6 traditional stand up arcade games such as Golden Tee, PAC Man and Mortal Combat. There is also a cocktail table, “head to head” type arcade machine with dozens of game choices available.
The lower level family room has sliding doors which lead to the patio.
The patio is truly a private oasis! It is equipped with a large wood burning fire pit, hanging hammock chairs and a new HotTub. The patio also overlooks the serene, wooded surroundings.
