The five-room Bed and Breakfast residence is situated on six acres of woodland and adjoins a wonderful birders paradise---Otters Pond. From the upper floor bedrooms you can see ducks, geese, herons, kingfishers, swans and bald eagles. Black tail deer abound. The Pond hugs our rear sunny deck where you may become mesmerized by natures display while you enjoy a five course gourmet breakfast or just lay back with a bottle of spring water and a good book.
Rooms are delightfully decorated in an elegant yet uncluttered northwest contemporary style with skylights and open airiness that yields views of the woodland and pond at almost every turn. Built four years ago the French country style, cedar home is private and cozy. The front porch is a great place to enjoy the woodland views and even have your first cup of coffee and breakfast too.
