The kitchen features newly painted cabinetry and black leathered granite countertops as well as new appliances (stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker). The cabinets and drawers are stocked with all of your cooking and dining essentials! Coffee and tea are provided by the host as well as an assortment of snacks!

Conveniently located in the kitchen is the cozy breakfast nook which serves as the dining space. This hand built bench comfortably seats 3 adults.

The back door to the house is located in the kitchen which leads you out onto the back deck and into the very spacious back yard secured by a privacy fence.

-Guest Access-

Guests will have access to the entire house. There is a barn on the property that we kindly ask you do not enter at this time.

There is a step onto the porch, therefore it is not handicap accessible.

-Other Things to Note-

We invite you to come and experience the antique charm that this 1900s home provides. While it is newly remodeled, please note that we have tried to preserve some of the original character of the house which means some doors don’t open and shut quite as easily as a new one would and we appreciate your patience with these features!

We kindly ask that no pets be brought to the home in respect of other guests who may have pet allergies.

Rest assured knowing the front entrance is monitored with a ring camera.
