To help preserve the original structure of the home, window units are used to guests cool and comfortable. Every room has a window unit and ceiling fans, as well as electric heaters to keep you warm on those chilly days!
There are decks that wrap around 3 sides of the house that are perfect for porch conversations! The upper deck provides beautiful vistas of this home's surroundings!
This property is one acre of fun in the sun with plenty of outdoor space for family time and activities. There is a box on the deck that contains balls and activity equipment as well as, a shed nearby that contains even more games and equipment such as volleyball, corn hole, and giant Jenga to just name a few! A Gazebo is conveniently located for outdoor seating which also includes gas and charcoal grills for your use. Party lights on the decks create a magical air that's perfect for dancing under the stars. There is also a fire pit that just screams,"S'MORES!" For convenience, there is an outdoor rinse station on the deck by the ramp. This ramp can be used for a wheelchair or loading ramp. This home is perfect for large gatherings or family reunions.

House is lovely!

by Sisa A

Mosquitoes are viscous! House is great. All bathrooms are on the first floor which is odd. Would love to stay again!
