We also just opened our two person wood.burning sauna sitting detached and behind the house around the tall pines.
Our kitchen is supplied with any utensil you would need to cook a meal for your whole family or group.
The wood burning sauna is big enough for two people
We have a coffee pot that brews by the pot or uses k-pods. If you wish to cook outside we have a charcoal grill and freestanding grill for over the fire pit.
The cottage was freshly redone in 2024 and new upsates in 2026 including local nature art, Himalayan salt lamps, secondary lighting, essential oil diffusers and a zen nature vibe.
Our cottage does NOT have any cameras for your privacy.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage! A very peaceful and comfortable spot, with a pretty and welcoming interior. Communication from our hosts was helpful and timely. We did not take advantage of the proximity to Jay Cooke Park and other beautiful natural areas this time, but could easily see why this would be a great spot to stay for such adventures!
