It is a two-bedroom cottage with one bathroom inside with a large walk-in shower with huge rainfall shower head, there is also a large clawfoot soaking tub. There is a separate bathroom outside. A very spacious living and dining area and fully equipped kitchen. The main bedroom has king bed with an attached screen porch. The second bedroom is a queen murphy bed with a desk. Just off the living/dining area is a large front porch to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine.

Also, outside is a large, covered deck with table and chairs, sofa and other furniture, there is a huge water feature with fireplace, outside kitchen with sink and grill. This property is pet friendly and fenced in from to moment you arrive your favorite fur buddy can be closed in. The entire property is fun when rented with friends.The Bath House The Bath House is a very special place to Jeff and me. If you love an adventure and you love being outdoors, then this is your spot. However, I must mention the bedroom is an original 1964 Aristocrat trailer, with that comes a size issue. The bed is a queen short, and the space is small. So, if you are very tall over 5'9" you might not be very comfortable. (We feel this must be disclosed) On a bright note if you happen to be vertically challenged like us, you'll love it. This space is so special, it's been called a Zen Garden. It offers an outside kitchen with mini frig/freezer, ice maker, grill, cooktop with glasses, dishes, cookware and utensils. The huge, covered deck has a daybed, bistro table two swinging chairs. The private courtyard has many tropical plants two beautiful water features. A large table, dart board, three-sided fireplace. Across from the deck is a large pergola with a 6ft tub and a huge rain shower. There's so much to take in you won't want to leave. Of course, breakfast is included. The Bath House can be rented in tandem with The Birdcage Saloon as a second bedroom. Because what did Saloons have back then? They had a bathhouse.The Birdcage Saloon This 1800's carriage house has a spacious open floor plan that embodies the charms of its original era. This is a 1400 sq ft two story carriage house, with a saloon on the first floor and bedroom on top floor. The Birdcage Saloon is a saloon, decorated to look like 1800 to early 1900's with many original pieces of art no detail was left untouched from the custom-made spiral staircase to the card table or the back of the bathroom doors, art is everywhere along with a custom made fifteen-foot bar. The bar is equipped with a wine frig, ice maker, sink and anything else you would need in a bar. (Bring your own liquor) There is plenty to do in this room with a pool table, card table, dart board etc. Also, you will find a full bath with huge walk-in shower with three shower heads one is a huge rainfall shower head. Downstairs off the living area there is a peaceful courtyard with water feature and plenty of seating. Once you make your way upstairs to the beautifully decorated bedroom with a custom painted mural and many other custom features from the hand forged iron king bed to the painted vanity.
