The wood-shingled cabin is complete with a living room, bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom, and private deck.

The bed is a Murphy cabinet bed and includes a high quality comfortable queen mattress, linens, and soft pillows.

The guesthouse is located across the yard behind the main house. There's a private entryway up the driveway.

In addition to the private guesthouse and private deck, you can read, sit, relax, or just enjoy the sun in the fully enclosed yard.

Other things to note
The guesthouse is like your old grandma - strong and mighty, but also needs to be treated with care and respect. =)

Please note there is intentionally no television in the home, as it is designed as a place to unwind, contemplate, or work with no distractions.
