The Owner's Residence
It isn’t too common to find a small hospitality property with a separate house for the owners. This offers privacy, yet still allows the owners to be accessible for their guests. The office/check in reception is a welcoming spot for brochures of things to do, grabbing a bottle of wine, or browsing some of the fun branded retail items offered.
The house has 2 bedrooms upstairs, one bath with shower and soaking tub downstairs. The eat in kitchen opens to a sitting room and a sun porch. There is a small fenced in yard in front, and a larger one in back of the house (perfect for dogs!) There is an unfinished basement, and garage for one car and storage.
