The main floor includes a nicely appointed living room with a fireplace, 65” TV, sofa with chaise and an oversized chair with a vintage record player console with a range of hit records.

The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, microwave, pots and pans, and enough dinnerware and silverware for 8. Enjoy our complimentary coffee bar complete with Keurig coffee maker and espresso maker stocked with pods, coffee grinder and delicious syrups. You will need to purchase your own coffee beans.

The main floor master has a king bed with adjustable base and massage features, walk-in closet and master bathroom with double sinks, tiled shower with bench and dual showerhead.
There is an additional full bathroom on the main floor for additional guests.

The two bedrooms upstairs are large with new queen size luxury memory foam mattresses and ceiling fans. All bedrooms include luggage racks for your convenience. There is a large bathroom with a bathtub/shower.

The large basement has another living area which has a fireplace, large TV, bumper pool table, dartboard, X-box and lots of games for the family to play. There is a second full-size kitchen with oven, fridge and sink. There is an additional multipurpose sleeping area with a full-size Murphy bed, working area with desk and foam flooring for a workout area.

The backyard is an oasis for rest and relaxation with an awe-inspiring entertainment clubhouse - a transformed chicken coop for group events or a quiet evening in a secluded setting.

Enjoy the many games and activities available on almost a full acre of land including a large TV lounge area, bar seating, swinging club chairs, smoke-less firepit area, a jumbo outdoor chess board, bocce ball, corn hole boards, and a playhouse for the kids with slide and climbing wall.

Walk out of the house onto a raised travertine tile patio with seating for 8 people or enjoy a cup of coffee next to the old barn door privacy screen.

Wonderful hosts

Four retired cousins rented this house, and we found it just wonderful for our needs. We especially appreciated the magnificent kitchen, where we could cook old family favorites. The hosts were wonderful to work with and friendly. We recommend!
