Our fully renovated, modern farmhouse-styled home sits on 3/4 acres surrounded by tranquil woods and Mother Nature's beauty. Walking through the front door to start your vacation experience, you’ll immediately appreciate the warmth and elegance greeting you and your family or guests.

Or stroll a few paces and grab a stool at the stone-top kitchen island for a glass of wine and a cheese platter. The kitchen is not only equipped with stainless-steel appliances, but also includes all the utensils you need to cook up your favorite meals. (Plus, we’ve stocked the pantry with goodies to accentuate whatever you prepare.) The communal dining table, made of finely finished reclaimed wood, seats up to 14 people. And speaking of social gathering spaces, there’s an extra-large screened-in back porch looking out onto the pool area, tall trees and a nicely landscaped backyard, giving you plenty of space to stretch out and savor your every vacation moment!
