A rustic, two-story, 19th-century cottage (1 of 4 listings on the property. It is located near the main house and another guest cabin). The cabin has a cozy living space and a full kitchen. Conveniently located to the park, historic sites, breweries, and several wineries.

Wood stove is no longer available, sorry.


The cabin has a cozy living space and a kitchen that is adequately equipped. The bathroom offers a clawfoot tub with a shower. Upstairs you'll find a comfortable bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The sitting porch out front offers a perfect place to watch the sunset. The original cabin is at least 100 + years old and rests on a stone foundation. The kitchen and bath are later additions. Consider its age and rural location when booking especially if you are prone to allergies. Insects find ways to get in despite our best efforts. Also, heating the cabin with the electric baseboard units can be expensive. Guests are asked to help us keep electricity costs manageable by turning the heat down or off when away for long periods. And, please do not open the window if the heat is on. The cabin is also one of several buildings on the property and is situated near the main house.

Guests of The Cabin share a driveway with the main house. You are welcome to pull right up the cabin. Once situated, guests may explore the property. Given the number of fruit trees, be aware that pollinators a present especially if you are allergic to stinging insects.
