The main floor includes two private bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed.
PLEASE NOTE: The upstairs is considered one bedroom, but there are 3 separate sleeping areas, each area having 2 single beds. Please see the photos for clarification. Kids love the upstairs!
Our guests love the huge fire pit and our 7-seat hot tub! Our cosy mountain house comes with a well-stocked kitchen and a propane grill on the back deck, if you choose to stay in for meals(although there are many restaurants within a few miles). There are 2 full bathrooms on the main floor, one with a bath/shower combo and the other with a large shower. Sheets, blankets, bath towels, hot tub towels and kitchen linens are provided. Some K-cups, creamer packets, tea bags, dish soap, dishwasher soap, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, bath tissues and laundry soap are provided to get you started.
This home is centrally located to countless things to do. Hiking trails and acres of hunting are right out the back door, where Forbes State Forest borders the back yard! A stocked trout stream is across the street with easy access just up the road.
Let Middle Mountain Cottage be your “home-base” after all your many adventures, where you can relax in the hot tub, warm up by the gas fireplace, have a foosball or darts tournament, play corn hole, or enjoy S’more making at the fire pit. If you want to stay for a week to fit in all the adventures, there is a washing machine and dryer for your use - No need to over-pack!
