About this property
Luminous Hideaway & Restful Garden Retreat
Welcome to Mooncrest Cottage, a peaceful, bright and airy, minimalist hideaway retreat tucked at the back of our property, behind the main house.
This is an owner-occupied property, and to reach the cottage, guests wander through a gated, shared front yard (monitored by security cameras). The yard is home to our shy, free-roaming cats who make the space their serene sanctuary and safe haven.
Because the cottage yard isn’t fully fenced and connects to the main house, we cannot accommodate dogs—this keeps the cats safe and the area peaceful for everyone.
The cottage features a separate upstairs office accessible via exterior stairs. The office bed linens are provided only for a 3rd guest or for an additional fee.
Enjoy a peaceful garden with hammock, loungers, seating, and BBQ—a quiet spot to relax, read, or soak up the sun, with twinkling lights adding charm both inside and out. The neighborhood is very quiet, making the outdoor space feel like your own serene retreat.
Location: Just a 9-minute walk to Goodwin’s Market and another 5 minutes to the lake trail, with charming restaurants and shops within 10–15 minutes.
Important: Snow chains are required for all vehicles November through April.
House rules: no parties, smoking, drugs, glitter, or candles—thank you for helping keep Mooncrest calm and inviting.

What makes this property unique
Mooncrest cottage is a minimalist and cozy hidden retreat located in the back of our property and has no direct view/access to the street. You will need to go through the front yard of the main house (where we live), which is monitored by security cameras, in order to access the cottage wooden gate. As you come through the first metal gate, you might be greeted by some of the stray/feral cats that we care for. They live on the property and will roam freely around the cottage. All cats have been TNR'd. Please make sure to keep the metal gate closed at all times for their safety as there are coyotes and free roaming dogs in the neighborhood. Therefore, we cannot accept dogs. The yard offers a hammock, a bench, a wooden table and chairs, and two loungers. There is also a barbecue grill at your disposition. The property is located very close to downtown. It's a 9 min walk to Goodwin's market, and another 5 min walk to the (free) trail that goes around the lake. There are lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance (10-15 min). The main room has a queen size bed and a table with two comfortable armchairs. The kitchen has a stove, fridge, microwave, washer/dryer and it's equipped with the basic cooking equipment (pots, pans, blender, french press for tea/coffee, drip coffee maker, toaster, oven dishes, cutting board, electric water kettle). The main room is equipped with a mini split AC and a gas heater. To access the office, you will need to exit through the kitchen back door, take the steep stairs in the back of the cottage. The upstairs space offers a desk and a comfortable ergonomic work chair. There is also a small sofa (love seat) that turns into a bed slightly smaller than a full size bed. TA fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillow cases will be provided upon request. There is a small space heater for the office upstairs but no AC. IMPORTANT: snow chains must be carried in all vehicles from November through April. *****No exceptions*****
