The space
Mountain Home is a newly built (2023), handcrafted log home on a forested 1-acre lot in the beautiful, forested, quiet, sub-division of Ausable Acres. It is a ranch-style home with a cathedral-ceiling great room that comprises a full kitchen and living area. A master bedroom (queen bed) plus two full bathrooms complete the ground level dwelling. There is a down-stairs living area that is comprised of a large bed-room that hosts a queen size bed, a futon (pull out full size bed) and an amish made rocker. Stairs leading to the downstairs bed-room/living area are complete with log rails & log gate for safety. Mountain Home has a covered porch with comfortable Adirondack Chairs plus an open deck to relax outdoors.
There is an outdoor grill (bring your own charcoal) and fire pit (please keep fires small and contained). An outdoor hose is available. Soft sandy ground easily tracks through the home so please, we ask that you remove your shoes upon entering. Water is safe to drink. Septic system on property can handle toilet paper only.
The Mountain Home is cleaned with all natural cleaners by (PUR Evergreen) products, Milliken, Co.
Ausable Acres is a quiet neighborhood. Evening quiet hours are in place from 10pm to 7am. . As such, we have the expectation that our guests will honor the peace & quiet of the surrounding area. If you are unable to do so and are disruptive, you will be asked to leave our home without refund.
Guest access
You have the Mountain Home to yourself. There is a washing machine and dryer in the basement available for guest use ( soaps are not supplied ). Please care for our home as if it were yours. Thank you.
Other things to note

We are also 3 miles from lovely Ausable Forks where you can pick up whatever you need (groceries, gas, banking) or grab a bite to eat and enjoy a night out in this quaint village.
But you may never need to leave the Acres as this wonderful wooded
