Once you make the turn onto the gravel path, the promise of a peaceful retreat focuses your attention ahead, and after just a short drive through the woods, the cottage appears, to welcome you to your (sadly temporarily) respite from the world. Solidly rebuilt from its humble beginnings and impeccably designed and decorated, this vacation experience is one which takes only a short time to register as a definite to repeat. Whatever the weather conditions dictate, there are so many opportunities to maximize your stay - slow down the conversation while rocking on the front porch and listening to the quiet sound of nature, enjoy a campfire by the pond, stretch your smile muscles with a fun family night of games, and if you do want to venture out, there are plenty of small wonders to explore within driving distance. Inside the cottage, everything is so new and well-taken care of, I even found it relaxing to make sure I kept up with its sparkle and shine! Michele and Jim have generously shared this dream and provided for you to leave for home with a slower pulse and refreshed spirit.
