Carriage House
PET & CHILD FRIENDLY

The cottage is the ultimate in privacy. It is far enough away from the main house so that nobody can hear or see what goes on but close enough for you to get us if you need anything. Our two bedroom cottage is almost 1200 sq. ft. of English Country charm. Tucked into the woods behind the main house, it is pet and child friendly. Adults traveling without small children may have breakfast at the main house or request that the kitchen be stocked with breakfast supplies. For those traveling with children age 6 and up, we will stock the kitchen for you. Sorry, we no longer can take children under 6 but younger children are welcome in the Meadow Retreat. The cottage is never booked to more than one party at a time even if you are only booking one bedroom. You are guaranteed total privacy.

Amenities:

  • Air Conditioning
  • Free high speed wireless internet access
  • Cable TV with VCR and DVD player
  • Telephone
  • Front Porch with rockers
  • Barbecue Grill
  • Fenced yard

    Adult guests of the cottage are invited to enjoy all the pleasures of the main house.
