With its treehouse-like surroundings, vaulted ceilings, charming turrets, French windows and dreamy curtains that cast the home in a show of light – you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a mystical realm. Enveloping the house, majestic pine and oak trees sway in the breeze, creating a serene atmosphere where the hustle and bustle of everyday life fade away.

Front Yard
Let nature guide your relaxation: As you enter the front yard, first thing that enters sight will be the unique geodesic dome – a magical hideaway for 6 where you can meditate, read, or cuddle with your besties and become one with nature. This cute bubble gets extra cozy if you’re lucky enough to catch a rain or snow during your stay. Under the yawning Oaks lies a moon shaped hammock, perfect for a lazy afternoon nap. At nightfall, indulge in whimsical ambiance as fairy lights sprinkled throughout the yard glow up and the color-changing lights in the dome bounce off its clear walls.

Backyard
Step outside to the covered patio and main deck, where you can rejuvenate in the sauna, soak in the hot tub, or gather around the fire pit for cozy nights under the stars.
