Easily accessible from two major highways, the Stone Stack Cottage is nicely tucked in on an L-shaped street that ends in a cul-de-sac. On the street next to the cottage, there is additional space for parking available if needed. There is also an entrance to a short but scenic trail through the woods. On the other end of the trail, there is a small children’s park. The park sits adjacent to the trail in the woods and can be accessed via a path if you are feeling adventurous.

For those who appreciate outdoor adventures, the surrounding landscape offers hiking trails, wildlife spotting, and ample opportunities for stargazing. After a day of exploration, you can unwind by the stone fireplace, perhaps sipping on hot cocoa or a glass of wine, and relishing the tranquility of the mountain evenings.

You will have access to the ground floor and upper level (loft) of the house as well as the 1.5 acre outdoor space. The lower level of the house will be locked and off limits since it is currently being remodeled. All the other parts of the house are yours to use and explore. The same goes for the outside space with the exception of the pool and barn.

More details can be found in the guidebook and house manual that will be made available after the booking has been confirmed.

Important Points:

1) There are very specific instructions on how to operate the wood burning stove that are included in the house manual that is provided once the booking is confirmed.

2) There is an above ground pool on the property that is covered and not available for guests to access. The surrounding deck and pergola, however, are available to explore.
