Indoor Whirlpool Hot Tub - All of the same benefits, but “Better than an outdoor hot tub” - Here’s why…. When you use an outdoor hot tub, it has chlorine to kill any bacteria because the water is reused! With our indoor whirlpool hot tub, the water is drained after each use and the tub is thoroughly cleaned after each guest leaves. No leftover dirt, grime, or bacteria. No stinky chlorine smell left on your skin. No worries about sitting outdoors in cold or inclement weather. Enjoy the relaxation, massage, and warmth of a hot tub while viewing nature through the large windows. In addition to the jets, you can turn on the “air bubbles” feature which fills the water with lots of little air bubbles…. So relaxing!
Full-size grill with utensils free charcoal, picnic tables, hammock, playground, and a firepit with plenty of firewood included!

About the host
Hosted by Joyce McLane
Hi, I'm Joyce. My husband Bryan and I have spent time on this beautiful pristine property since 1993. We built our dream home here in 1999. We really LOVE the beauty and tranquility of this land. We raised our two daughters here, along with many pets. We love to garden and enjoy mountain life. We really are excited to give others the opportunity to experience this special place!
What makes this property unique
When we bought this property back in 1993, we had been searching for a great property for a long time. When we found this property, we knew this was the one. It was a huge mountain cove that felt totally secluded from the outside world, yet it is easy to get to. The property has everything - pond, creeks, springs, small waterfall, old-growth, trails, views, wildlife, meadow, and historic chestnut barn.
Walk outdoors and feel the stillness, listen to the owls, turkeys, and the Whippoorwill. Watch the deer grazing in the yard. At night watch the stars shimmering in the dark night sky.
When we first moved here a friend from the city and her husband came to visit. We all took a walk to the meadow. All of a sudden, she sounded very startled and said to her husband, "do you hear that?" He said, "hear what?" She then said, "that's just it, nothing, you hear nothing!" Let the silence heal your body and mind.
Eventually, we built our dream home - 23' high ceiling in Great room, floor to ceiling windows for a great view, open-concept with modern touches. We absolutely love this special place and think others will too! We love being able to share this gem with you.
