Providing lodging for up to 12 adults, sleeping areas include four bedrooms plus a spacious sleeping loft, accompanied by three bathrooms, the master bath featuring a 2-person shower and 2-person deep soaking bathtub. The walkout basement functions as a playroom complete with swing, climbing bars, and toys. Adirondack furnishings abound, and of course, floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere.
