Two traditional bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, share a jack-and-jill style bathroom. Outside, relax on the open-air deck as you listen to nearby babbling streams and wind rustling through the trees. On warm evenings, enjoy dinner al fresco at the outdoor dining table over a bottle of wine and great conversation.
