Plenty of free off-road parking right next to the house—spacious enough for multiple vehicles, trailers, etc.

We’ve comfortably hosted up to 6 vehicles at once.

Other things to note
This is "Simple Country Living" - The guest house is on the edge of my 50 acre farm. My house is right down the road. I work from home so I am at your service during your stay. We offer a "Whole House Experience" for less than a
hotel.

We’re on clean, tested well water, which is safe to bathe and cook with — but you may notice a faint natural sulfur smell, especially with hot water.

In 2022, we installed a new water softener + carbon filter to manage this.

On June 18, 2025 we added a new component to the water system that seems to have removed the sulfur smell.

We like to be upfront so there are no surprises!
