About this property

Relaxing 3 Bedroom House - Pet Friendly - Sleeps 8

The Country House at the Pines is a pet friendly, family friendly home located in a rural area behind a row of pines offering a tranquil escape.

This newly remodeled ranch style house has a 2-car attached garage. A front deck as well as a larger back deck that overlooks a newly rebuilt pond.

There are 3-bedrooms, 2 with Queen Beds and 1 with a Full Bed. Both Queen bedrooms have wall mounted Smart TV's. All rooms have USB charging ports and floor fans. The Living Room has a Queen Sleeper Sofa as well as a Recliner and Sitting Chair. There is a Smart TV and we do have Starlink for wi-fi. We do not offer DirectTV. Bring your firestick or password for Netflix, Amazon, etc. There are board games, card games, puzzles and plenty of books.

The fully equipped kitchen has all new Stainless Steel appliances, including a dishwasher. There is a regular coffee pot but nothing fancy.

There is a washer and dryer in the garage that is accessible from the house.

The house has central air and heat. We also provide a gas grill and a charcoal grill. There is a outdoor fire pit that we will supply wood for.

You are likely to see deer, turkeys and an occasional bald eagle. Kick back, relax and enjoy!!!

Beautiful property, inside and out. Hosts are very responsive. Kitchen stocked with new appliances and a few extra staples. Many deer, birds and frogs and fish make an appearance at various times-the fountain in the pond is a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay!!!
