Hideout in the Woods

A down to earth 4 bedroom, 2 bath home nestled in the woods that features 2 large gathering rooms (one is a theater room) and a huge covered front porch. There is a full kitchen and two separate eating areas. We also have an external gameroom/hangout in our big red barn called the Hideout Saloon.

The main part of the house was built by my grandad in 1946.

The trim around the doors and windows are all made from aged pine that he had saved in the 1950's.

We have central air and heat.

There is a 4 foot fire ring perfect for cooking, making s'mores, or just relaxing.
There is a washer and dryer for your use.

We have a charcoal grill for you to use...bring your own charcoal and starter fluid.

There is a tankless water heater so you can take back to back showers. Sorry no bathtubs.

Come relax and just chill. The sandy beach is only a mile away as is the rest of town or relax on our 42ft covered porch

Firewood is available to use if it is in the shed. If not, then Jack can deliver a full cord of oak if you desire for around $80. Please contact him directly prior to your stay and mention that you are staying at Hideout in the Woods. 989-370-0822. He is cash only and can dump the wood right by the firepit.

The Hideout Saloon is now open and equipped with a pool table, dart board, foosball, sound system, player piano, and custom made bar. This space can be heated by 2 propane heaters that we provide along with the tanks. You are responsible for the propane.
Make sure you checkout the pictures. Please note that the Hideout Saloon is available to you, but please do not review us on its cleanliness as it lives in the woods in an old pole barn.
