The open-plan living and dining space has a wood-burning fireplace, with a separate den for reading or quiet time. The equipped kitchen includes a stove, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, cookware, dishes, coffee makers, toaster and blender.

Three bedrooms are upstairs: two with one queen bed each and one with two twin beds. A fourth bedroom on the main floor has two twin beds, and an additional main-floor sleeping area has a sofa bed. All five sleeping areas have air conditioning. The main-floor hall bathroom has a shower and tub; the upstairs hall bathroom has a shower. Linens, towels and bath essentials are provided.

Outdoor facilities include a screened porch, covered deck/patio with table and chairs, a hot-and-cold cedar shower, gas grill, wood-burning fire pit and fenced yard.

Indoor amenities include heating, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, a laptop-friendly workspace, television with cable and a Bluetooth speaker. There is a private entrance and driveway parking for four cars.

The owner will likely stay in a separate cottage on the property. After booking confirmation, the homeowner manages on-site operations and guest communication through the Elite program.
