We have a last minute availability for August 15th through the 21st. Take this as your sign to book a last minute getaway. Relax in the hammock by the brook on the property, play games in the game room, take a quick 15 minute drive to Alton’s town beach for a dip and some ice cream, or visit the mountain coaster at Gunstock!

I love feeling like I’ve been completely transported into a forest while lounging on the hammock.

Day 30 is something that gives you joy.

I can’t express the palpable happiness in our family’s car every time we pull into the driveway. This home brings our family so much joy and we are thrilled to see our guests experience the same.

Day 26: A burst of color

When we arrive, I like to wash all of our fruit and put it in this big bowl for quick and easy snacking. It’s pretty, feels homey, and makes life easier!
