1ST FLR APT Your Private Resort, now FAMILY-ized: 1 BR + LR suitable for 2 kids

*Hot tub/fire pit/pool! Hike our woods to deer trail along the river! Over 80 eateries within 15 mins! Enjoy winery/craft beer/farm/market visits; easy to moderate hiking; world-class indoor ropes course; indoor sports/gaming center; trampoline park, much more. Near aquarium, kids' attractions, museums, concerts, nightlife, LIS boat tours.
*We are still the ultimate couple's, private getaway, but we're making it easier to bring the little ones for a low-keyed, but fun-filled vacation. When you're not enjoying our outdoor amenities that include a play set, relax in your very own home theater with 66" HD Smart TV. Full kitchen has all major appliances and assorted small ones. It is fully supplied for preparing full-course meals.
*Private entrance is off a ground floor mudroom accessed directly from outside. The bedroom features a very comfy queen bed and the living and dining areas can hold two twin air mattresses for the kids. Both the LR and BR can hold the full-sized crib. Please note that dining table only seats two, but TV tables and a high chair are available. Note that adding additional portable beds significantly reduces the floor space! Some families have opted for their kids to sleep on the couch and love seat in sleep sacks we provide. Also available: a portable crib, high chair, baby monitor (think "hot tub" use), stroller, baby backpack and toys are available.
*The front yard has a play set, bocce court, horseshoes, charcoal grill, and dining set. Guests may use these facilities without any notice to us.
*Backyard has a three-level deck, swimming pool with lounge chairs and umbrella table for four or more, hammock, gas grill, picnic table, outdoor living room, and a screen porch with hot tub. We'd like to preserve your privacy so please let us know when you plan to use these amenities.
* On the north side is a fire pit with seating, and a hammock further up in the woods. If you are uncertain how to light a successful fire, don't hesitate to ask. Written assistance is also located in the ammo box located in the wood bin.
*We have our own private "daily" deck and a top-floor deck so you may never see us! All outdoor spaces are accessible to our guests, with the exception of the aforementioned private decks only accessible from our house..
*Prior notification is requested for use of the hot tub and gas grill; and pool whenever you expect to spend a significant part of the day in and around it. When in doubt -- ask!
*Fee for an approved dog is $15 per dog per night. Please request a copy of and agree to the doggie rules; and tell us something about your pet.
*Our neighbor's construction of the 6' chain-link fence has dramatically reduced any "foreign" animal visits (as have our dogs) we still have deer, a rafter of turkeys (including two huge toms in the spring), an abnormally large and jaunty red fox, a pack of coyotes, a rarely-seen bobcat, and birds of every feather, including woodpeckers, owls, and vultures. Oh, and squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits! So, please don't let your little dogs out unleashed very early in the morning or into the evening.
*2024 update: Black bear have been seen routing through garbage cans at the southern end of the greenspace/river that we face., but no people encounters. Black bears are generally non-agressive and will most often leave an encounter with a human, if possible. Do NOT run away!
*Bus, rail, Uber, Lyft and Enterprise Rental cars are all available, as are grocery, restaurant, and pharmacy delivery.
*Check out our website www.ourcountryproperty.com for local activities and sample eateries. Please confirm hours and days of operation.
