About this place

Exceptionally Well-equipped and Thoughtfully Stocked, Family Ready

Welcome to a peaceful creekside retreat designed for families and group stays, with space to connect and unwind year-round:

- Sleeps 12 | 5 bedrooms | 6 beds | 2 baths
- Two connected units w/ two full kitchens
- Indoor fireplace & outdoor fire pit
- Yoga platform set among the trees
- Family-ready w/ crib, high chair & toys
- Pet-friendly & fully fenced yard
Soft winter light filters through the trees as the creek moves quietly nearby, setting a calm rhythm for your stay. Inside, warmth gathers easily - fires glow, music drifts from the record player, and there’s space to slow down together after a day out in the city. Even in the cooler months, the surrounding forest keeps the home feeling tucked away and grounded.

The home is arranged across two connected units, offering flexibility and privacy for families or groups traveling together. With five bedrooms and a queen sofa sleeper, the space sleeps up to 12 guests while still allowing room to spread out. Thoughtful details throughout support both connection and downtime, whether you’re sharing meals, watching a movie, or settling into a quiet corner with a book.

Sleeping arrangements
Five bedrooms are distributed across the two units, each with comfortable beds and storage. The Garden Room features a king bed and a quiet reading nook. The Zen Den offers a queen bed with a dedicated workspace. Three additional bedrooms - Tree Room, Wood Room, and Forest Room - each include queen beds and simple, calming furnishings. A queen sofa sleeper in the upper unit family room provides extra sleeping space. Bedding, linens, and room-darkening shades are provided throughout.

Living areas
The upper unit centers around a welcoming living room with an indoor fireplace, TV, and mid-century-inspired touches, creating a cozy spot for winter evenings. Downstairs, the second living area includes a large TV, record player, games, books, and DVDs, making it ideal for relaxed group time or quiet entertainment.

Kitchen and dining
Both units include full kitchens, allowing guests to cook together or separately as needed. The upper unit features an open layout with a dining table and coffee bar, while the lower unit offers its own kitchen and dining area well suited for shared meals or takeout nights.

Bathrooms
Two bathrooms serve the home, each with a shower and tub combination and bathroom essentials provided for your stay.

Outdoor setting
The fully fenced yard remains a peaceful extension of the home year-round. Even in winter, the fire pit and string lights create a warm gathering spot, and the forested yoga platform offers a quiet place for stretching or reflection among the trees.

Comfort, family features, and convenience
The home includes heating, air conditioning, portable fans, laundry facilities, and a dedicated workspace. Families will find a crib, pack ’n play, high chair, baby bath, children’s books and toys, safety gates, and a baby monitor. The property is pet-friendly and offers free on-site and street parking, along with self check-in using a smart lock.

Safety features include smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and exterior security cameras at the entrance and parking areas.
