A TREETOPS Retreat! Sleeps 10-12, perfect for large gatherings. Seasonal POOL!

TREETOPS is a 4850 square ft 5 bedroom Mid century Modern perched on an outcropping of granite cliffs, surrounded by 2 acres of beautiful forest. Perfect for retreats, events, and reunions!
PLEASE NOTE: *Property not suitable for children under 8 years old. 2 small dogs allowed with prior discussion and fee of 50 per night. Events to be discussed prior to booking and there is a reasonable event fee. Nightly rate for 6 guests, additional guests pay 60 a night. Please list all guests upon booking*

Treetops is perfect for family reunions, work retreats, "rest and relax" retreats, yoga retreats, writers' workshops, and even small weddings! Spa services right in town, 5 minutes away. Stroll along the loop trail in our backyard woods, hike in acres of beautiful woods in "Westwoods" next door, visit the town green with lovely shops, swim at Jacobs beach, have s'mores by the natural stone fire pit, or relax and get some sun by the marine-blue, stone decked pool area with flower garden! Birdwatching, breakfast, yoga, and evening cocktails are best on the spacious wrap-around deck. We also have an incredible library, fireplaces, and even a baby grand piano!

The space
The inside of Treetops is spectacular, where classic and modern styles blend. Antiques are plentiful but so too are modern paintings, sculptures, and other unique art. Our love of indigenous cultures will be obvious, and we don't shy away from colors as well! Beautiful, lush plants give the house a welcoming, homey feel.

Treetops has vaulted ceilings, and an open and spacious floor plan. There is a great kitchen with new appliances, a two-person breakfast nook, and an oversized dining area and living room overlooking the oversized deck mentioned above. Perfect for social gatherings of all kinds! Plentiful windows and slider doors flood the house in sunlight and fresh breezes.

The large living room has a top-of-the-line stereo system, CDs, large Smart TV, impressive fieldstone fireplace, and extensive library. Grab a book and recline on the new sofa while listening to some classical music! From there, walk into the master bedroom with more windows and wooded views, TV with DVD player and huge selection of movies, walk-out deck, and walk-in closet. The tiled bathroom has two sinks, a jetted tub for easing sore muscles, and a great shower/showerhead, with some basic amenities available for your stay.
Then walk into the "Blue" room, a bedroom with 1 Twin bed and 1 Full bed overlooking the driveway with bureau, bedside table, and bookshelves. Guests in this room will share the master bathroom for bathing but can also use the half bathroom near the front entrance.

A hallway then leads to the newly appointed den, with new TV, sofas, and a second beautiful fieldstone fireplace. There are games and coloring books available in the cabinet.

Across from the den and off the main entrance is the "Yellow" room. It too is newly renovated and has a Full bed, large built-in desk overlooking the pool, views galore, and a cozy reading nook that can also double as a second place to sleep.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, "The Queen", with a queen-size bed, and "The Twins" with -- you guessed it -- 2 twin beds. Both rooms have bureaus, bedside tables, one or two oversized windows, sound machines, fans, and their own full bathroom. You are really in the treetops up here! Enjoy your stay.

Other things to note
Nightly rate is for 6 guests. additional guests are 60 dollars a night.

We are near some railroad tracks and a few times a day, mostly morning and evening, trains go by. You will definitely hear them if you are awake, but we have never been bothered by them when sleeping.

The Pool is scheduled to be available between Memorial Day and Labor Day weather permitting.

See house rules for additional information.
