Soft light filters through the evergreens as the creek moves steadily along its winter path, creating a quiet backdrop for slow mornings and cozy evenings. You might start your day with a stretch on the forest platform, bundled against the cool air, or settle into the living room with the gas fireplace warming the space while the kids explore the fully fenced yard. As night settles in, string lights illuminate the outdoor fire pit for crisp, fireside conversations.
