Nestled next to Geode State Park-you can literally step across the property line and be on the walking trail at Geode State Park. Surrounded by wildlife, trees, hills, and fields, you can relax and enjoy the quiet countryside here. Come on in the door and climb the stairs to our guest space. We offer self check-in with the door key pad lock. Come on inside and climb the stairs to our guest space on the upper level of our home where you can enjoy the private space except for a locked storage room. We offer 3 locking bedrooms with extra pillows and blankets provided. A desk is available in the quiet east room for working, putting together a puzzle and a rocking chair for quiet time and reading.
