- Access to two resort pools and hot tubs at Shanty Creek for even more relaxation options.

Main Floor:
Step into a beautifully designed open-concept space that blends modern updates with the home's original charm. The fully stocked, updated kitchen has everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals together. Gather around the large dining table for family dinners or pull up a seat at the island bar for coffee and conversation.
The open flow extends into two inviting living rooms, offering plenty of space to reconnect. Cozy up for a movie night on the 65" 4K TV, watch your favorite team, or enjoy a round of board games. A fully stocked beverage bar ensures refreshments are always within reach.
Please Note: The main living space, including the primary bedroom, is located on the second floor and requires one flight of stairs for access.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind, providing extra blankets and pillows. Blackout blinds or curtains ensure a peaceful night's rest, allowing you to fully unwind during your vacation.
The two full bathrooms and one half bathroom boast all-new fixtures, adding a touch of modern luxury to your stay.
Hot Tub:
Enjoy our brand-new 8-person hot tub, set beside the firepit and beneath a sky full of stars. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. Photos coming soon!
Garage Gameroom:
We've transformed the garage into a game room including pool, ping pong, giant Connect Four, yard games, and more! Gather around the bar top seating for drinks, laughs, and friendly competition. The garage game room includes a propane heater for extra comfort, but as it’s still a garage, expect cooler temps and plan to bundle up during the winter season.
Outdoor Space:
Enjoy the expansive deck with a grill, dining table, and chairs, plus cozy rocking chairs under bistro lights. Surrounded by trees, the firepit offers the perfect spot for evening relaxation. With ample parking in the large driveway and a fun yard game ready to go, it’s an ideal outdoor space to unwind and have fun.
