Some things to note PLEASE READ:

While we have an incredible space to offer, there are some things to be aware of.

1. Being that this home is tucked so far away in the woods, sometimes bugs can find their way into the house and garage. We do our best to mitigate them, but you still may see a few occasionally.

2. This home is extremely peaceful because it is so tucked away, however be aware that there is a train that goes through about 2 miles away and you may hear it on a calm day/night.

3. The home is small. Only about 850 square feet. If you have 6 people you will definitely be cozy :) the game room does provide quite a bit of extra space though!

4. No WiFi or smart TV. Our goal with this property is to provide a space where you can step back in time and really connect with each other. For this reason we do not have WiFi. The TV only plays VHS tapes, and we do have a great selection of them!
