The open main level is built for time together. After a day outside, the living room is a comfortable place to land, with two plush sofas, extra seating, a 55" TV, and an electric fireplace. The kitchen is fully stocked for meals at home: stainless appliances, a deep farmhouse sink, cookware, serving essentials, and a full coffee station with a Keurig, drip maker, French press, and tea. The dining area seats six for meals, coffee, or a glass of wine.
🛏️ Rest

The second bedroom offers a queen with peaceful tree views, and the third has two twin beds plus a desk for anyone who wants a quiet place to work. A second full bathroom sits off the main hallway. Traveling with little ones? A pack 'n play, high chair, and kid-friendly extras are tucked into the bedroom closets.

Outside is where the wooded setting shines. The back deck has a propane fire table, grill, and comfortable seating, a great spot for dinner or a quiet evening under the trees. Just beyond it, the private hot tub is the place to soak and unwind. Out front, the covered porch has rocking chairs and a bistro set for morning coffee, reading, or fresh mountain air.

🐶 Pets • While we love furry companions, due to allergies and the layout of the home, pets aren't permitted here. If you're traveling with a dog, check our profile for our pet-friendly properties.
🚼 Family-Friendly • We love hosting families and provide a pack 'n play, high chair, and children's tableware. Need more than one of any item? Let us know with a little advance notice.
🚗 Getting Here & Winter Weather • The home is reached by paved and gravel roads, with the final quarter mile on gravel.

🦌 Wildlife & Surroundings • Surrounded by woods, you'll likely spot deer, rabbits, foxes, box turtles, groundhogs, and the occasional black bear nearby. Please don't leave food, trash, or scented items outside, as they can attract wildlife. The home is serviced by a professional pest control company, though the occasional insect may still wander in, part of a true mountain setting. We're a message away if anything seems off.
🏡 Privacy • Chipmunk Hollow sits in a quiet, wooded spot, though neighboring homes are visible and you may occasionally notice neighbors, pets, children, or vehicles nearby. Please help preserve the calm by keeping in mind that voices, music, and noise carry, especially from the deck, hot tub, and fire table.
