Grouseland's Pondside Vacation Cottage. Pet Friendly.

Our cottage is set back about a quarter mile from the road (all back roads here so minimal traffic noise), in nestled next to the pond in the middle of the woods. Our pet friendly solar powered vacation cottage is a perfect getaway for anyone trying to spend some alone time with nature!

We also have various shared hiking trails through the woods surrounding the cottage for campers and cottage guests to enjoy!

Guests staying at our vacation cottage are able to enjoy a furnished bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dining/lounging space. As well as exclusive access to the pond (no fishing), kayaks, dock, hot tub, fire pit, and large deck with a grill!

Both rooms in the cottage are complete with a Fire TV logged into many of our streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime, Max, Disney+ and Hulu.

We have upgraded to a low flush toilet system so please disregard all reviews about the composting toilet, is has been replaced!

We have hiking trails through the woods surrounding the cottage that are shared with our campers.

Campsites are on the other side of the property from the cottage and campers are told that the cottage and pond are off limits and to respect your privacy.

There are blinds on the windows to allow for complete privacy while in the cottage.

We do live on property and occasionally drive past the cottage to get around, we try to keep this to a minimum and use quiet golf carts when possible.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
