  • Appliances: All kitchen appliances plus a convenient washer/dryer combo unit.
  • Bonus Gear: A storage shed and a grill are already on-site.

The “Fine Print” (The Good Kind!)

  • The Community: You get full access to the pool, “tiny gym,” and river access for kayaking.
  • The Catch: To keep the community tight-knit and peaceful, these homes cannot be purchased as investment properties (short-term rentals). This is for someone looking for a true home or a personal getaway.
