Do you have a special Birthday ? Anniversary?

This charming 1910 farmhouse is perfect for resting, relaxation, restoring. It is fantastic for preparing meals as a group and having a decadent dinners with close friends or colleagues. Mature guests who can appreciate the tranquility of this peaceful setting. I am sorry we can not accommodate weddings but have great alternatives. Think country, cozy, intimate, serene, quiet and restorative .... We bring outside inside by having lots of windows which face the yard and pool area. The area is very safe and the yard is surrounded by woods and fencing creating privacy.

There are three buildings on the property and you will have access to the main house plus the amenities.

There are many great homes in this area. Although our home is truly a retreat. I once wanted to own a spa and the closest I have come is adding many amenities. The grounds are beautifully landscaped allowing for a walking meditation admiring the wonders of nature.

Using our outdoor walking labyrinth calms your mind as you weave into the center and out. Adjacent is the hot tub to soak your weary bones.

The outdoor living room cabana is equipped with a gorgeous stone fireplace ( we provide the wood for your convenience use as much as you like additional fee does apply). A glass of wine and the flames of a fire are a great way to end a summers day. Lounge by the pool and or revitalize in the sauna, you choose. Keep in mind the pool and pool area are opened seasonally (at the owners discretion). The pool is heated by the warmth of mother nature in other words the SUN. If you desire a warmer pool, propane can be utilized at the added expense of the guest give the current rate of propane.

We have a king, full, queen and two twin mattresses on the second floor ( which sleeps 7 people). The trundle beds are great for overflow and perfect for night time use. The four season porch has two twin beds and a full size mattress ( sleeps 4). There is a full sleep sofa in the living room as well ( sleeps 2 ).

More simplified :

Master Bedroom - 1 king
Second bedroom - 1 full ( sleeps 2 ), 1 twin trundle
Third bedroom - 1 queen, 1 twin
Porch - 2 twin (trundle), 1 full
Living room - Sleep sofa

The only question you will be asking yourself each day is which means should I use today to relax? Perhaps take a bath in the pedestal claw foot like bath tub surrounded by candles in the master bedroom? Or indulge in a steam shower in master bathroom? Or lounge on the deck off the master bedroom? Or do you love to cook?

Our sunlight kitchen with Viking stove with 6 burners and griddle allows for plenty of creativity and hours of entertaining.

One charming feature of being in the Garrison area are dirt roads and driveways. We are preserving this feature and have a dirt driveway (A wet winter or spring could mean a little mud). Going shoeless inside is recommended.
