Acorn Cottage is a 1200 sq. ft. rustic delight with above average facilities. We built this with loving care - actually it's an old-time store dating from the 1940's that we gutted and refitted in 1995 - we intend it to be our own retreat one day! It's less than a quarter of a mile by road from the Lodge, or ten minutes rambling across the grounds on the wildflower trails - here you can take breakfast each morning of your stay. Acorn Cottage is located on Highway 297, heading towards the river gorge in Big South Fork National Recreational Park. The cottage has two bedrooms, with built-in closets. There's a very large living room - equipped with satellite TV, VCR, radio/cassette and CD player - with two French doors onto the wraparound deck. The kitchen is fully operational, offering stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven, coffee, iced-tea, espresso machines and an electric blender - you can comfortably cook and serve dinner for six. It has a larger than average bathroom with a tub/shower with twin heads. There's a washer and dryer, airing cupboard, iron and ironing board. Overall decor is decidedly cozy country: lots and lots of wood, on walls, floors and ceilings - many textures, all natural. There's a gas log fire in the living room, oil lamps for emergencies or romance, hand-stitched quilts on the beds, good books and magazines to curl up with, parlor games, good movies and a collection of 1960 hit tapes. There's a gas grill on the deck along with a picnic table. A well-stocked fishing pond is adjacent to the cottage, which you are more than welcome to fish during your stay.
