Description

This guest suite is part of our family home, shared among 3 generations. We have prepared this suite for our visiting family and friends, and would love to extend availability to the academic community as well. This would be perfect for a student or faculty member looking to get away from the city for a while and enjoy the great outdoors, as there are ample outdoor activities in this area to keep a nature lover busy. Alternatively, it could be a great spot to focus on studying and writing, using this as a little retreat in the woods. With several delicious restaurants within a 20 minute walking distance, a hot tub to enjoy in the evening, and lush green surroundings, you will find this location a serene and peaceful place to focus.
