Accommodations include five cozy cottages scattered throughout the property. Each cottage allows for privacy and seclusion and grand views of the Irish Hollow Valley from a private screened-in porch.

Each cottage comes with its own fireplace to add to the cozy, romantic atmosphere or just to warm up next to on a cold winter's day!

Another option to stay is in one of two suites located on the second floor of the Main Inn, which was once a former historic general store and home to the shopkeeper. These elegant suites have more of a bed and breakfast feel to them than the cottages, but still allow for privacy.
