Ideal Tenant
We are seeking a quiet, respectful, and nature-oriented occupant(s) who will
enjoy the privacy and surrounding wildlife and woods and the
slower pace of country life. Please know this is not urban living.

The Space:
This unique, freestanding cottage sits on a dead-end country road, nestled within 1.4 private acres of beautiful mature hardwoods. The cottage has been described as unique, charming with positive vibes, and feels like living in a beach house by the woods.

The Neighborhood:
The Barnhouse is located in a highly established, exceptionally quiet, and tight-knit
neighborhood where most homeowners have happily resided for well over thirty
years. Located across from our organic farm, the tenancy requires someone who understands and respects rural privacy.

The Layout:
The upstairs features one bedroom, bath with separate tub and shower, comfortable and spacious living room, and a large open kitchen (1950’s vintage sink with new faucet) equipped with a stove and refrigerator (there is no dishwasher). The highlight of the upper level is a big, private wooden deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee, birdwatching, or outdoor dining among the trees.

The downstairs room is very roomy with outside entrance only used most often as the second bedroom.
This large, versatile room has served as the ultimate work-from-home office oasis, an expansive fitness studio, or creative workshop. The cottage’s washer and dryer are also conveniently located in the building.

Amenities & Highlights:
~ Water and septic & recycling cart included in the rent.
~ Large private wooden deck.
~ Washer/dryer on site.
~ Outdoor parking

Excellent references from landlord (from last two rentals), income verification,

Tenant Responsibilities & Utilities:
