Heated Saltwater Plunge Pool - Designed for year-round enjoyment, you'll fall in love with our state-of-the-art plunge pool. The plunge pool is cool and refreshing in the summer and warm as a therapeutic hot tub in the winter, offering the best of both worlds! Measuring 13' x 7' with a depth of 5', our plunge pool has become a favorite amenity among our guests. The pool area is thoughtfully furnished, featuring a dining table and umbrella, along with inviting chaise lounges – creating an idyllic setting for al fresco poolside meals and relaxation.
Outdoor entertaining - The farmhouse is nestled on a picturesque 3-acres with a charming pond view.

Equipped with Sonos outdoor speakers, rocking chairs, a porch swing, a salvaged dining table accommodating 12 guests, and an oversized Weber gas grill, it sets the stage for memorable gatherings and alfresco dining. You are sure to see many deer visitors trekking through the yard!
