The inspiration for this rustic cottage is the beautiful barns you see out in our farmlands. We sourced 100+ year old, local barnwood and finished it with a rustic, red, metal roof. Voila, the Red Roof Retreat was born! Step onto the charming front porch of complete with a porch swing and two classic rocking chairs—a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a good book. Out back, you’ll find a spacious wood deck with aTraeger grill, perfect for barbecuing, relaxing, and watching the sunset over the mountains. Enjoy meals outdoors at the shaded dining area featuring a table with an umbrella, nestled beside fresh herb planters you’re welcome to snip from. Guests are also welcome to pick seasonal fruits from our small orchard when ripe (they are a little small now)! You’ll also love the fully fenced yard, giving your pets the freedom to roam safely while you relax nearby. Inside, every door is 36" and the open and fully accessible, great room welcomes you with a bright, airy layout ideal for relaxing or spending quality time together. The living area includes a couch that converts into a full-size bed, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for additional guests. The fully equipped kitchen features a roll under sink and induction cook top, and opens into the living and dining area, making meals and memories easy to share. The first bedroom is a cheerful bunk room that sleeps 3 with a twin-over-full bunk bed and includes a creative area with a desk, toys, games, and art supplies—a haven for kids or work area for adults. The second bedroom features a queen Murphy bed, dedicated workspace (once lifted), and a vanity/makeup nook, combining function and charm for the perfect adult retreat. The large bathroom includes a rustic brick, roll-in shower with a built-in bench. Along with a roll under sink and toilet with grab bars, offering extra comfort and accessibility. A washer/dryer combo unit is also available for your convenience during longer stays. After a day at the nearby lake or river (which are only 2 miles away), gather around the outdoor firepit to toast marshmallows and watch the stars.
