The space Guests have their own private apartment with use of our 5 acre yard, hot tub, and pool in the summer (Memorial Day thru Labor Day). There is a studio below the apartment so we ask that you’re mindful of those guests if it’s booked. :-) \*As of 10/6/20, we will no longer be hosting pets\* Guest access Apartment, hot tub, fire pit, pool in the summer (Memorial Day thru Labor Day), yard with trails to the creek. The apartment is private, but the grounds and amenities are shared with the studio guests and with our family/guests. Other things to note The state road does turn to gravel after the church, and you will have to cross a low water bridge, which does flood if we get about 2” of rain, so just drive slowly please! :-) \*\*This is our home, not a party pavilion! We invite YOU to come enjoy it, but we're not interested in hosting your extended family events!\*\* ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -
