Inside, you’ll find:

• An open-concept living space with soaring ceilings and cozy fireplace vibes
• A gourmet kitchen with huge island (perfect for group meals, snacks, and tea breaks)
• A screened-in porch for journaling, reading, or chatting in the fresh air
• A downstairs movie lounge with an oversized sectional for rainy-day coziness

Outside, explore:

• 50 acres of wooded trails for mindful morning walks
• A peaceful, semi-private 2-acre pond
• A private dock and beach area for our group to swim, kayak, or just dip our toes in the water

This space was handpicked for our Cozy Girls Getaway – created specifically for women who crave deep rest, meaningful conversation, and time to just be. Whether you’re curled up with a novel, sipping wine on the deck, or sharing quiet moments around the fire, this retreat is yours to slow down and recharge.

We have 5 reservations available for this weekend escape.
