About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This Gives a “Cabin” a Whole New Meaning!

Please NOTE: The heated Estate Pool (shared by all our guests at Pine Manor Estates) will be open as long as weather permits.

This Lodge gives you the best of both worlds! Secluded yet 5 minutes to town!

From the gigantic great room to the cozy bedrooms, this lodge offers the perfect getaway for you and your family and/or friends.

The Great Room is filled with windows that overlook a private wooded and field area. There is plenty of seating including a 10 person dining table, poker table, dining booth, and cocktail area. The bar is ready for you to serve your favorite cocktails. And don't forget the pool table where the entire family can shoot a few balls.

With heated wood-like ceramic tile, you can walk barefoot all season long and your feet will stay toasty! And don't forget to gather around the huge fireplace and roast a weiner while watching your favorite movie. Grab a bag of popcorn too!

The fully stocked kitchen offers a refrigerator, gas stove and oven, dishwasher and microwave. There are plenty of dishes and pots and pans and utensils to fix any meal while enjoying the comforts of home.

If the seating in the great room isn't enough, we also offer a full dining room with an additional table and 8 chairs.

With two masters you can choose whether you prefer the first floor master or the upstairs master. Both are cozy and lovely.

The first floor master has that comfortable lodge feel with a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with beautiful tile and shower. The TV offers ROKU and all the apps for your favorite online stations.

There is also a 2nd bedroom on the main floor that also has a king bed and ensuite bathroom.

Once you go upstairs you will find a 3rd bedroom with a King bed. The picture window is a lovely place to sit and read.

The upstairs master has a king bed and an adjoining sunroom, walk in closet and ensuite bath. This bath feature both a shower and a large soaking tub.

Outside you'll find a firepit, outdoor kitchen, and private hot tub. You'll love sitting on the patio and watching your friends cook at the kitchen or sit around the firepit.

The kitchen was very well appointed. The best I have ever experienced. We always make all of our meals and we had everything we needed. This is a phenomenal property with comfortable furniture, perfect for entertaining and the bedroom layout gave the right amount of privacy for all. I highly recommend this VRBO for any future stays!

This is a lovely home with great dining spaces for our group of 8 and a nice kitchen for cooking. The hot tub was not working when we arrived but Betsy was quick to respond and had it going within 24 hours. It was a great set up for 4 couples.

The house and its amenities are amazing and far exceeding expectations. It’s even more beautiful in person. The gathering area is superb with so many nice touches. The pool table and hot tub were a hit with our young adults. We would definitely stay at this location again and highly recommend it for families.

Family Christmas 2022

This pristine property is jaw-droppingly beautiful, down to the finest detail. The rooms are spacious and the furnishings are magnificent. The location is close to city amenities yet felt secluded and private. It was a wonderful place for our family to celebrate Christmas under one roof.

A great weekend in the Great Room

Watching the sunrise through the giant windows in the Great Room was a transcendent experience. We wanted for nothing, as we had coffee, cookware, hot tub, kiln dried firewood, and all the pillows that one can fit onto a single bed. Everything was new and clean, and met every expectation. A wonderful treat that we'll remember.
