The futon folds out into a bed for extra guests. Board and card games are provided.
    The Hilltop cabin kitchen includes a 20-inch oven and range. A 4.3-cf refrigerator under the bar has a small freezer compartment. The whirlpool tub has a view of the yard and the TV. All windows have shades for privacy.In the Hilltop cabin, guests can choose between a king bed (with memory foam topper) or two twins. All windows have shades for privacy. A door from the bedroom area leads to the fenced yard and patio.
    Our second cabin, the "Treehouse," offers the privacy of being surrounded by trees, with an elevated screened porch to catch the breezes.The Treehouse cabin features view of the sunset through the trees from the front porch swing or the futon couch. The TV carries local channels, and the stereo/DVD system includes iPod docking.
    The kitchen in the Treehouse cabin includes stove, small fridge, coffeemaker, microwave, utensils, serving ware and some condiments.
