From the wraparound porch to the tree-lined yard, the setting feels quiet and tucked away, while still just a short walk from McKinley Beach’s shoreline. Inside, light-filled gathering spaces, high ceilings, and a fireplace create the backdrop for meals, games, and time well spent. It’s time for a vacation! THE SPACE Inside, the main living room is open and comfortable, with exposed beams, skylights, and soft seating arranged around the inviting hearth. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the action, with generous prep space, a central island, modern appliances, and a layout that works whether you're cooking solo or making breakfast for a crowd. When the weather shifts, take it all to the porch—ideal for reading, conversation, or simply listening to the trees. Each of Forest House’s five bedrooms is thoughtfully styled for dreamy downtime—think bright, airy spaces with crisp linens, soft textures, and calming views.

MAIN LEVEL Primary Bedroom: 1 King-size bed Bedroom 2: 2 Twin beds Bedroom 3: 1 Queen bed UPPER LEVEL Bedroom 4: 1 Queen bed Bedroom 5: 2 Twin XL With three beautifully designed bathrooms, getting ready feels like part of the vacation.
