Nearby the roomy dining table seats 6 and overlooks the back deck and wooded back yard.   The back deck features a small dining table, additional seating area and a Big Green Egg grill and new propane grill.  The kitchen overlooks the private backyard and is a tranquil spot for any chef, offering beautiful wooded views.   The well-appointed kitchen has a gas stove and offers the perfect spot to make a cup or coffee or a memorable family meal.

Behind the house- is a gorgeous expanse of trees, at the edge of a creek.    Enter home easily from the flat-covered parking pad directly- in front.   Easy entry to front of house.    Fantastic location to enjoy the adventures of Big Canoe.
