The space
Our property was originally a barn built in 1870. Preserved original architectural features such as 15-foot pitched ceilings, exposed beams, barn wood, shiplap, and open-concept interior design are all hallmarks of this rustic barn-style home.

1st floor is an open kitchen, dining, and living area which opens onto a deck overlooking the pond. The queen bedroom and full bath are off the living area. The captain’s staircase leads to the 2nd floor which is an enclosed loft King bedroom with a pitched ceiling, balcony overlooking the pond, and half bathroom/powder room, plus a daybed.

Interior furnishings throughout are very comfortable. Relax on memory foam mattresses, with a variety of nice pillows to suit all preferences, soft cotton sheets, cozy blankets, and cotton duvets with fluffy comforters.

There's a big deck overlooking the pond with sectional sofa seating, dining table, and gas grill. An outdoor shower is off the deck. There is lots of private outdoor space and plenty of parking.

Ferry reservations are required for vehicles. Ask the host about how to get a reservation when they appear to be sold out!
