The house

Walk the house

In through the Dutch door, out to the fire pit — the whole house, before you book.

The black board-and-batten house at dusk, string lights over the terrace lounge and a warm-lit Dutch door

Arrival

In through the Dutch door

Oak floors run the length of the house from the entry hall. The garage and driveway sit a few steps from the door, and check-in is a smart lock — you let yourselves in whenever the day gets you here.

The great room

Kitchen, dining, living — one room

Vaulted, whitewashed beams over a single open floor: the marble island, the long velvet sectional, the dining table that seats the group. This is the room all eight of you end up in at once, so it is the largest in the house.

The movie lounge

Downstairs, after dinner

Theatre and games on the ground floor, where the evening goes once the table clears. The twin and trundle live down here too — the fourth sleeping space, and how the house holds eight.

A dice game with blue dice and a scorepad on a round burgundy marble table, a potted succulent on a tray and the dark green velvet sofa behind

Outside

Garden, fire pit, and the ritual

A garden made for long evenings: the fire pit ringed with chairs, sun loungers, a hammock in the shade. The cedar sauna and cold plunge are out here too — the whole ritual has its own page.

The honest details

What we would rather you knew now

The homepage promises the honest details before you book. Here they are, plainly — the things worth knowing while you can still choose a different house.

Bathrooms: Two, for eight guests. The primary is ensuite; bedrooms two and three share the second bath; the movie lounge has none — so that is a flight of stairs at night.
Access: Two levels, so the house is not step-free.
Charging: No EV charger.
Cameras: Exterior cameras at the entrances. None inside.
