✔ No bath or hot tub (to conserve energy)
✔ Well water with filtration (contains natural iron—bring bottled water if preferred)
✔ Starlink WiFi & Cell Service (AT&T & Verizon strongest)

🛏 Sleeping Arrangements
✔ Bedroom 1: King master suite with sliding door to deck
✔ Bedroom 2: Queen bedroom + Twin bed just outside the room

The open-concept living and dining space is perfect for gathering, with a bar seating five, a stainless steel kitchen, and an outdoor propane grill on the two-level deck to soak in the views.
Relax, unwind, and enjoy the forest’s natural beauty—whether you’re a hiker, birdwatcher, or just here for the tranquility.
