The Cape | Hiking trails and private forest

Summary:

A minimalist wood cabin on 2–3 private acres with no neighbors in sight. Two bedrooms: the mezzanine (queen bed plus a work desk at a huge forest-facing window) and an attached pod with its own full bathroom, often guests' favorite room. Private sauna, fully equipped kitchen, terrace with a fire pit. Fiber-optic internet for working from nature. Sleeps up to 5. Self check-in, EV charging on-site. Dogs welcome (2 max).



The Space:

The Cape pays homage to wood with a minimalist, welcoming design. The open-plan main floor connects kitchen, living, and dining, with the forest pouring in through large windows. First bedroom on the mezzanine: queen bed, single floor mattress, and a work desk at the huge window — perfect for working from nature. Second bedroom in the attached pod: queen bed and its own full in-suite bathroom, for total privacy. A second full bathroom serves the living area. Private sauna, fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace set back from the chalet with a fire pit and everything you need to cook outdoors. Sleeps up to 5. Dogs welcome (2 max).
