THE SPACE
The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Lounge on the sofas, switch on the Smart TV for movie night or the big game, or enjoy one of our board games with your group. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen and dining room, with a table large enough for your group to dine together.
Sleeping Arrangements
Acorn Bungalow has 3 bedrooms and can sleep 6 guests. With 1 King Sized Bedroom, 1 Queen Sized bedroom, and 1 bedroom with a Bunk Bed you will find room for your entire group to spread out.

Each bedroom has either a closet or a dresser for unpacking your personal items, and its own climate control so that guests can adjust to their individual preference.
