Upon entering the homes, you'll find a laundry room with glazed cabinets, Travertine tile floors, granite countertops, and a sink. Before you walk upstairs, look up!

They each offer kitchenettes with Kitchen Aide refrigerators, drawer dishwashers, and microwaves. The family and dining areas are intimate, and both have ample bedrooms with ensuites. Stone paths from the Main home and the Guest Home lead past the stream, waterfall, and pond to a covered gazebo with beautiful lake views.
