LIVING ROOM
The living room is so cozy you don't want to leave. Look over the wall to wall bookshelves with a focus on nature, gardening and living off the land. Get out the games and puzzles and take over the dining table. Cuddle up by the wood burning stove. Wonder what it was like to live here long ago.

Both porches have rocking chairs for taking in the scenery. Relax with your favorite drink and watch the clouds roll by and whatever animals wander out of the woods and into the meadow. Fireflies grace the meadow in the summer.
Once you step off the porch, you have roughly 60 acres of woods to explore with walking trails by the creek, by the pond and to the river. Fishing allowed in both places.
