Inside, the thoughtfully designed space strikes a balance between comfort and practicality.

A small dinette for two offers a perfect spot for breakfast or a cup of coffee.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a sleeping loft with a 4 1/2-foot ceiling.
The bathrooms and showers (PLEASE NOTE: Rustic - no heat or AC) are located across the gravel drive, approximately 180 ft away.

If they are shared, they are maintained throughout your visit for utmost cleanliness.
Step outside to the pavilion—perfect for enjoying morning coffee while listening to bird songs, relaxing with family, dining at picnic tables, grilling, or hanging out beneath the open sky.
Guests have access to the outdoor pavilion (equipped with a coffee bar (available from October 1st - May 31st), and grills), the walking trail, and the pond—perfect for fishing.
Gather around the fire pit in the evening for cozy conversations or spend the day fishing at the pond, stocked with bass and bream.
Explore the scenic walking trail that winds through the woods, offering solitude and adventure just steps from your doorstep. You might even stop to observe or interact with grazing cows in the neighboring field.
Expect wildlife, insects, and dirt—part of the authentic outdoor experience.
For outdoor enthusiasts, additional campsites are available for boondocking, making this an ideal base for weekend trips or extended adventures.
Larger groups can also book additional facilities, such as a smaller sleep shed or a camper, but these are available separately and subject to availability.
Located conveniently near Interstates 77 and 20, this secluded retreat provides easy access to regional attractions while offering a peaceful, natural haven for relaxation and exploration.
