The space
This spacious three-story house was built for bringing large groups together. With three king sized beds and a large bunkroom, there is plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably.
**Please note that this home has rustic wood floors and we recommend that you bring thick socks or slippers**
On the main floor you will find an open living, dining and kitchen area for everyone in your group to gather for dinner, games, morning coffee with a view or cozy nights by the show-stopping fireplace which has been updated with a Buffalo mount since the photos were taken. *The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you would expect to have at home. Also included on this floor is a large laundry room and a half bath.
Up the winding staircase you will find the primary bedroom located on the top floor with a private bathroom and deck, as well as a lofted sitting/work area. Unwind after a long day of hiking in the claw-foot tub with a beautiful view just outside the surrounding windows.
On the bottom floor you will find a game room and 2 more bedrooms each accompanied by their own bathroom. One bedroom is furnished with a king size bed while the other room holds 3 bunk beds (2 twin over twin and 1 twin over queen). The bunkroom also houses a foosball table and mini arcade...a kid's dream come true!
In the game room, the final king size murphy bed (with a custom-made mattress) can be found folded against the wall. This room also features a large screen smart TV with surround sound and a 16 ft pro shuffleboard for some friendly competition.
For some outdoor fun, a cornhole set can be found inside the mechanical room behind the murphy bed. There are also horseshoe pits in the backyard near the wooden swing.
