Garner House: Secluded woodland home; spacious & comfortable, in natural setting

The Garner House is intended to host big families for their get-togethers in the area! It is bright and sunny, cozy and comfortable, and spacious. The kitchen is enormous and well-stocked: plenty of space for fabulous family meals while you enjoy your time together. There are lots of sleeping options to keep everyone comfortable, and super fun family recreation choices both inside and outside.

As you approach the house from town, the road turns to gravel just before the house, and the canopy of trees closes above you - that's when you know you are in the woods now! As you drive up the driveway, you'll probably see deer grazing in the yard, and one of the best parts of the house is all the windows for watching the deer move through the woods beyond the yard, throughout the day. You may see wild turkeys as well, and even hear a fox calling in the evening!

In the spacious living room, you'll find three large cozy couches to gather around, with a coffee table (great for big family of Pictionary, or one of the other games from the well-stocked games closet), as well as a large-screen smart television. In the winter, the wood-stove is the hub of the living room, with the puzzle table nearby (lots of puzzles to choose from in the games closet). The living room also features a desk with a printer, as well as an heirloom upright piano.

The dining room and kitchen are both open to the living room, great for socializing and sharing stories while making meals. Up to 10 people will fit around the main dining table, with space for 6 more at the breakfast table just across the kitchen. The kitchen island is a great place for a taco bar dinner or a quick snack. Make a meal as elaborate as you like while you have the family all in one place: there will be no limit to counter space, pots and pans, appliances, or serving dishes!

The deck outside the kitchen faces into the morning sun, and the rustic wine-barrel chairs make a great place to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the trees.

The covered porch out back of the living room is another great sitting or eating space, shady and breezy on warm afternoons, and graced by an enormous wisteria and a view into the woods beyond. The fire pit is behind the porch, for toasting all those marshmallows! (When it is not fire season, of course.) In the backyard, sample an apple straight from the tree, or blackberries from the vines cascading over the fence, or even a strawberry, in the right season.

The master bedroom features a queen bed and a futon, a private bathroom with shower, and large windows for lots of light.

The second bedroom includes a queen bed, as well as a bunkbed with two twin beds.

The third bedroom includes a queen bed, large windows, and a desk.

The two roll-out mattresses can be squeezed into which ever bedroom needs more capacity! And one couch in the living room folds out for more sleeping space, as well.

The garage contains the games: the ping pong table is always fun, as well as the regulation dart board, and the four-square game. Hours of carefree family fun that all generations can enjoy together!

Beyond the back yard, try out the hiking trails on the property and on the hundreds of acres of public land that the property backs up to!

The location is amazing: a few miles from the Oregon Caves or from swimming holes on Althouse Creek or the Illinois River. Crescent City and the Pacific coast are less than 50 miles away, with an incredible drive through the Redwoods on the way.
