The Set Up: This is a 2-bedroom suite and an in-law suite. We closed off the inside entrance from the in-law suite to the 2-bedroom suite so we could keep the in-law suite for ourselves and for additional privacy. Those booking need to understand that this is now 2 suites outside entrances. This is perfect for families, work groups, co-workers who would like to still like to be in the same home but have more privacy with their own units -- similar to a hotel.
This property was designed for our visiting families, and guests seeking a calm, luxurious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained space to relax, reconnect, work remotely, or enjoy time together in a quiet, serene nature setting.
