Your first guest bedroom and hallway bathroom are located here off of the living room as you enter for your convenience while the upstairs level above the kitchen offers your other sleeping quarters, all of your bedrooms and the bathroom are made up for your group's visit with warm linens, blankets, pillows, and fresh shower towels when you arrive.
Step up from here to a middle level that offers the chef of your group the perfect space for dining and meal preparations during your visit. The oak cabinets are stocked with cookware and utensils for your use, ample counter space and general appliances are also available to ensure your home cooked meals here are a breeze! Enjoy the cute corner breakfast nook and dining table here while an added table and chairs sits on the loft landing up from here. You will love the open floor plan allowing for you to entertain or converse with the rest of the group while you are whipping up breakfast! Enjoy immediate access from the kitchen area to the expansive sun deck and fully fenced back yard area.
