THE SPACE:

The house is big with 3600 sq ft all on one level. There's lots of open space to gather both inside and out so you will never feel cramped. The living room is 25x25 feet. The dining room is open to the living room and is 12x25 feet with dining for 18. The hot tub off of the deck is available year-round and is professionally maintained. The house has been newly renovated so everything is fresh and modern including bathrooms, kitchen, furniture, flooring, bedding, etc. It sits on 20 private acres, half of which are across the street as private wooded space. We are surrounded by hundreds of acres of neighboring farmland with no neighbors in sight, only a few abandoned farmhouses and two buildings in the distance that used to be part of a commercial chicken farm. The silence in the evening is deafening.

THE STYLE:

Modern style blended with a 60s flair is the theme for the décor in this custom built 1965 house. Some original treasures have been preserved and incorporated into the décor and used as inspiration for the design. The bright funky colors are favorites of the 60s era and make the space feel fun and cheery. The new furniture is modern in design.

OUTSIDE:

Step outside the French doors onto the 12'x35' deck with a picnic table and seating. Three steps down is the 25'x25' patio with the year round hot tub, gas grill and firepit. There are no close neighboring houses and only an occasional car drives by. The silence is deafening. During the summer you might hear distant music from the summer camp a mile up the road but it is not bothersome. Look out onto the open fields where nature abounds. We have seen many deer, groundhogs, chipmunks, many species of birds, harmless garter snakes and on rare occasions black bears. 20 total acres surrounded by 100s of neighboring acreage. Take a walk around the block where you will get some nice distant mountain views.

THE LOCATION:

The house is deeper into Swan Lake towards the northern part which is more secluded with a lot of farmland.

ABOUT THE HOST:

I have been hosting for over 5 years with Superhost status. I absolutely love hosting and will do everything possible to make your stay 5 stars and the best it can be. I renovate and design old tired homes and The Modern Retro Ranch is one of those homes that had good bones but needed some updating. It brings me great joy to be able to share it with others to make their vacation truly special.

This house has FAST WIFI so you can work, stream or Zoom. The sunroom can be closed off from the main house via sliding doors for privacy if you need to take a phone call or Zoom for work or school.
