Feel free to gander at our resident chickens and take a leisurely walk /hike through the woods and our property! Take a seat and enjoy the stars in their nightly splendor while sitting around the fire pit. In the summer air you can hear the music of cicadas and crickets strumming their wings and spring peepers in the moonlight. This is one of my favorites! Although this is newly constructed there is plenty of age & history. Most of the stone used on the premises are from the farm. Some of the hand cut stones used in the landscaping were from the foundation of a (1800’s) school that Ken’s grandfather attended. The fireplace mantel and window trim were constructed by Ken from 140-year-old barn-boards. The bedroom has a king size bed. The bathroom with a tub/shower is attached to the bedroom. There is a single bed sized day bed with a trundle in the Living Room. There is also a couch in the Living Room that can be used to sleep on. We have a rollaway bed stored in the laundry room that you may use if needed. A Pack-n-Play and a crib mattress are also available for small children. The suite has a full kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, microwave, drip coffee maker, and a Keurig coffee maker. The kitchen is also equipped with a toaster, crockpot, cooking and eating utensils, sugar, salt, basic spices, assorted teas, a few K-Cups, etc. The Kitchen/Living Room has a 10 vaulted ceiling with a gas fireplace. Warm yourself by the fire and relax after a day of skiing at the Wisp. This is a perfect location for a romantic getaway, honeymoon, a peaceful retreat in the country, or for a family ski weekend! It also works great for a business traveler looking for a home away from home. The 8’x8’ balcony is a great location to have your morning coffee and watch the sun rise and the deer graze in the meadow! There is a TV in the Living Room and the service is Dish.
