Three full levels entirely for your use, providing plenty of space for families or groups to relax, spread out, and enjoy time together. Children are warmly welcomed, making this a wonderful setting for families to reconnect, explore the outdoors, and create lasting memories.

Magical evenings with the night sky often filling with stars, making stargazing a favorite ~ fun guide with ideas on what to look for in the sky. Cows are often seen grazing in nearby pastures. For safety and respect for the animals, please do not enter the fenced pastures or attempt to feed them.

Guests enter through the side door located across from the garage using the digital lock system. Access code will be the last four digits of the phone number used when making the reservation.

    Our host went above and beyond to make our Thanksgiving reunion a treasured event! There were special treats for all, and they had gone all out to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying at the Nickel Cottage again!

    Wonderful, well curated home. Grace goes above and beyond to make her guests experience perfect. Too many thoughtful touches to list. Great outdoor spaces for gathering. Lots of games. We highly recommend this property.

    We chose this location for our crew working on a job nearby. The host was amazing with communication and checking in with us to make sure our stay was comfortable. Our crew loved this location as they had the comforts of home while being on location.
