The space
This quiet, secluded cabin is located in the woods up a little hill on a larger property that has a main house further down the driveway. But cabin guests give up nothing in privacy. The cabin, closer to where the covered bridge spans the creek, is tucked securely in the woods.
The cabin is cooled by fans in summer and warmed by baseboard heaters in cooler months; it contains a single bed by a picture window, as well as an inflatable mattress (along with pillows, sheets, blankets and towels); a large desk, a small tv with a collection of dvds, a large desk with a working electric typewriter, shelves of books and games, and office supplies for your use. There's a toilet hidden by a screen and a sink with hot/cold water. The kitchenette area offers a mini-fridge, microwave, and water dispenser, along with glasses, mugs, disposable eating utensils and tableware, tea and instant coffee, etc. Outside, there's a little front porch with two chairs and small table, an outdoor shower, a grill, and a fire pit.
Guest access
Guests park off to the side of the driveway near the cabin and must walk up a little hill and two steps to access it. You'll have ready access to Big Walnut Creek (including loading your kayaks in or out). The creek is best accessed by crossing the covered bridge, and turning right to the easy slope to the water. The water is deeper under the bridge if you want to swim. If you keep walking along the mowed area by the creek, you'll find a path to a pebbly beach , which is a lovely place to wade and play in more shallow water.
Other things to note
There are barbecue tools etc. including charcoal LIGHTER FLUID on a low shelf in the kitchenette. Please note charcoal lighter fluid is extremely flammable as well as poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed.
