With 7 bedrooms, large dining areas, and wonderful outdoor spaces available for play, this is a perfect get-away for extended families and reunions. The love of nature is evident in how the buildings are situated in the landscape. You will find natural materials skillfully utilized throughout the building.

The generous home we call the Hideaway, consists of an old wing built in the 1970's married with a new post and beam wing, built in the year 2001. The complete building reaches 100 feet from East to West at it's longest, with a small manager unit behind a fenced-in deck in the middle, separating the two sections by 20'. The buildings are well maintained and cared for, and help is right on hand, should there be any questions or concerns during your stay here. The two Hideaway “Wings”, can be rented separately, or together.
