The primary suite on the main floor offers an especially relaxing retreat, with direct porch access and a spacious ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower and a soothing jacuzzi tub. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to comfortably host multiple families, couples, or friends traveling together, with plenty of beds and bathrooms to make mornings and evenings easy. Downstairs, the game room keeps everyone entertained, featuring a pool table, TV, and additional space for cards, board games, and kids to hang out. Step outside to enjoy the expansive yard and outdoor areas. The large grassy lawn is ideal for yard games, picnics, and casual gatherings, and it also works wonderfully for weddings, family reunions, business retreats, and other events. Ample parking makes group logistics simple, whether guests arrive in multiple vehicles, motorcycles, or small trailers.
