The space
The refined cabin-styled Carriage House greets guests from a tall, wood-railed staircase surrounded by a thicket of mature trees -- a feeling of utter privacy. Enter to immerse yourself in breathtaking wood surrounds--cathedral ceilings, doors and wide plank rustic wood floors. Finely detailed design completes itself with cherry kitchenette cabinets, granite countertops and stone shower. Unsurpassed workmanship and attention to detail. Winter weather? No problem, the HVAC system will keep you toasty warm.
You can sleep 2 adults and 2 children (or small adults) comfortably on a 5 star king bed and a daybed with an easy trundle pull out. (Small additional cleaning fee added for more than 2 guests)
The live edge wood table and stools extend the eating area to four and the kitchen is stocked with Keurig machine and coffee, Frig, Freezer, Microwave, 2-burner electric stove, Cuisinart cookware and four place settings for eating in.
Staying in today? Watch streaming TV snuggled into mountains of pillows, play games like Mt. Cleverest and Code Names Duet (or many others) or just watch the wildlife on the gorgeous wooded and landscaped property. Stroll over to the fire pit stocked with dry wood.
