Perfect for Polar express trips. 1King bed room , 1 Queen bed room, Kids room sleeps 5 with plenty of toys and books The loft overlook the polar express and is in walkable distance to local coffee shops, breweries, and boutiques, and restaurants. This is our last year offering this property for polar express season. It typically books out by mid/late October. Guest will access the loft through the Black Iron Gate, then through the french doors on the right into our welcoming foyer. Through the arched doorway, guest's will find the main entry hall and stairs. The top of the stairs opens up to our expansive open concept living, dinning, and kitchen area. The open kitchen overlooks the living room, den, dining room and pool table. Our dinning room and living room comfortably seat 6 -8.
