About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Grouseland's Pondside Vacation Cottage. Pet Friendly.

Our cottage is set back about a quarter mile from the road (all back roads here so minimal traffic noise), in nestled next to the pond in the middle of the woods. Our pet friendly solar powered vacation cottage is a perfect getaway for anyone trying to spend some alone time with nature!

We also have various shared hiking trails through the woods surrounding the cottage for campers and cottage guests to enjoy!

Guests staying at our vacation cottage are able to enjoy a furnished bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dining/lounging space. As well as exclusive access to the pond (no fishing), kayaks, dock, hot tub, fire pit, and large deck with a grill!

Both rooms in the cottage are complete with a Fire TV logged into many of our streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime, Max, Disney+ and Hulu.

We have upgraded to a low flush toilet system so please disregard all reviews about the composting toilet, is has been replaced!

We have hiking trails through the woods surrounding the cottage that are shared with our campers.

Campsites are on the other side of the property from the cottage and campers are told that the cottage and pond are off limits and to respect your privacy.

There are blinds on the windows to allow for complete privacy while in the cottage.

We do live on property and occasionally drive past the cottage to get around, we try to keep this to a minimum and use quiet golf carts when possible.

Beautiful B&B!
We absolutely loved our stay! We plan to come back during warmer weather to take full advantage of what the property and area has to offer. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. Plenty of space for us and our two dogs.

Magical Getaway
We had such a lovely stay in the cottage at Grouseland! There are so many thoughtful (and whimsical) touches throughout the property, and Mason was so friendly and helpful. Our dog loved wandering the trails and meeting resident dog Archer. We’re already looking forward to our next visit (and hoping for warmer and dryer weather)!

Beautiful and peaceful
Second time going and this place always is relaxing. The views and quietness are always nice. Mason is a very nice host. Brought our dog with us and he enjoyed watching the chipmunks and birds. Definitely plan on coming back again.

Perfect Quiet Hideaway
This quiet cozy place is perfectly nestled in a peaceful area with a pond filled with the most beautiful fish(no fishing)! The hot tub on the deck to enjoy, a various array of books to read amongst other things just made our stay absolutely perfect.

Little piece of heaven
This was our second stay in less than 6 months. Everything is perfect- the cottage is just the right size for the 2 of us and our dog, and has everything you need for a few days away. Our favorite part is the hot tub and the scenery. We enjoyed the peace and quiet here. Looking forward to staying again. Thank you, Mason!

Peaceful and amazing
This place was exactly the getaway we needed. It was quiet and secluded. The owner provided milk and eggs which was a great bonus. We enjoyed exploring the marked trails on the property and swimming in the pond. The hot tub was wonderful at the end of the day. I would definitely stay here again.

Peace + relaxation in Grouseland
My husband and I really enjoyed Grouseland! It’s in a beautiful area and the rental is very thoughtfully designed. There are nice trails to walk right on the property and we especially enjoyed the hot tub. Also great options for biking in the area.

Absolutely amazing
We enjoyed our trip here so much! Between the trails, hot tub, and scenery, everything was so serene and peaceful. Mason did an excellent job of labeling everything so you know what is where, how something works, etc. And the farm fresh eggs provided- delicious :) We will be back for sure!

Absolutely gorgeous property. The trails and views were perfect. The house was so cute and cozy and the hot tub was a dream. I really enjoyed sitting down by the pond and watching the fish swim by. Im hoping to make it back in the fall!!

An absolute wonder!
We absolutely loved our time at the cabin. We stayed 3 nights, and our favorite part of the trip was the pond. We'd have our morning coffee on the deck looking out at the water, then go down with the dogs and feed the fish, kayak, swing on the hammock, and soak up the sun. It felt like our own little oasis, and now that we're home, we can't wait to go back!

Winter stay
Everything was great, cute little house. Bathroom was good except shower head was lacking. There was a lot of seating, but it wasn't relaxing seating. Our dog loved it and we appreciate the baby gates! Probably come back again next year!
