Welcome to The Lightfoot Cabin as featured on Conde Nast Traveler, Dwell and Sunset Magazine.
We do kindly request no shoes inside. There is a small shoe bench right outside the door and indoor slippers inside waiting for you.
This keeps it cozy and clean for everyone to enjoy.
This is a tri-level split home.
Once you enter through the front door, you will go down some steps to get to the main open living space.
You have a full kitchen with all of the essentials.
There is a French press with ground coffee and tea packets for your morning pick me ups. The kettle is electric.
Please note that the fridge has a small freezer section and there is no dishwasher. The water gets hot really fast, so please be careful.

There is an inviting living room with daybed for your afternoon naps or sit in the swing chair for you to enjoy the view outside, the fireplace, or enjoy some music on the record player.
The unique, free-standing fireplace is gas for your safety and ease of use.
There are plenty of board games available for your enjoyment.
The sliding door opens up to a nice deck to sip your coffee or grill up your your next meal while you enjoy the view of pine and cedar trees. There are heat lamps when it gets chilly.

The dining table really takes you back to your cool grandma’s house with its white pedestal table and cantilever velvet and cane chairs. Here you can comfortably enjoy a nice meal.

Going up the stairs from the main entrance, you will be greeted with a king sized bed. There is also a leather lounge chair for you to enjoy a good book or a writing table with a typewriter for you to get inspired to write a book. There is also another small deck off the loft room.

No need to worry about power outages here! We have a whole home generator that will kick on as soon as it detects the power is off. No need to go outside or disrupt your stay, just continue to enjoy :)

My husband and I are wedding videographer and photographer. See our work on IG @onemomentteam.
If you are interested in a video or photo shoot during your stay to commemorate an anniversary, birthday, celebration, or just want photos, let us know when you book and we can arrange a session.
