Play games indoors and out, with animal themed dominos, cards, Tik-Tak-Toe, Foosball, Pop-A-Shot indoor Basketball game, and Corn hole. Enjoy conversations in 4 separate living areas, perfect when the men want to hang out in the man-cave, ladies want to sip tea in the sunroom or living room, and kids want to make noise in the walkout basement den!

The quiet, wooded area is very lovely you may see animals and insects you don't find in the city and suburbs. Please do not be alarmed or surprised if you see bear, deer, foxes, insects, mice, snakes, etc. We treat our home for pests regularly, but it is impossible to keep these critters away at all times, just as in any mountain home. This is part of the adventure and fun of being in the woods! Guests will not be refunded for these sightings, which are beyond our control. Our many 5 star reviews attest to our constant attention to cleaning and pest control.
We take pride in our home, and want you to feel at home when you are our guest. We do our best to make sure everything is wonderful for your vacation! If there’s a problem, let us know and we will resolve it! We can help you to navigate your trip, make recommendations for eating out and things to do, and will be responsive to your needs.
