Your Kingdom

Eight acres bordering state land. Trails into the woods where kids become explorers. A fire pit that pulls everyone together after dark. Space to let the day unfold without a schedule, without supervision, without anyone asking "what’s next?"

  • The Woods: Trails connecting to state land—kids explore, parents relax.

  • The Fire Pit: The evening gathering spot that does not require a plan.

  • The Hammock: Strung between pines for the 20 minutes you steal for yourself.

  • The Outdoor Shower: A proper one (no hoses with delusions). Best enjoyed with a shower beer.

  • The Gear: Paddle boards ready for Minerva Lake, 4 minutes away.

  • The Yard: Where invented games happen and no one needs a referee.

Built for Big Groups.

Designed for Comfort.

We built a space where 13 people can actually coexist. No one ends up on a lumpy cot in a hallway. From the kitchen designed to feed a crowd to the yard designed to entertain them, every inch of this place is meant to be used.

The Stats at a Glance:

  • King Suite — First Floor: Private en suite bathroom. Your retreat at the end of the day.

  • King Suite — Second Floor: Includes a queen pull-out for the little ones who aren’t ready to sleep down the hall.

  • Queen Bedroom: Comfortable, next to the kids room, and exactly what it needs to be.

  • The Kids' Wing: Five twins. No bunks, no arguments about the top.

  • 3 Bathrooms: En suite on the first floor, standalone on the first floor, shared on the second. No morning gridlock.

  • The Chef's Kitchen: A pro-level engine room steps from the mountain-view deck.

  • The Entertainment Hub: Air hockey and a retro arcade game in the basement — for rainy days and rematches.

  • 8 Private Acres: Trails, a fire pit, and an outdoor shower (the proper kind).

The House Comes Ready.

Most vacation rentals hand you a key and wish you luck.

We stocked the shed, buried the fossils, hid the monsters, locked the treasure chest, and mapped the trails. Six bikes, two paddle boards, fishing gear, and enough built-in adventure to carry the whole week without a single "what are we doing today."
