The Space:

**We hope you find time to enjoy the above-ground pool, open now until October 1st! Please note that it's not heated. Reach out if you have questions.***

The Retro Pad comfortably sleeps 12 guests. This is a split-level home with two bedrooms and one bath in the basement, and three bedrooms and one bath on the third floor.

Main Level: The living room boasts a comfy couch and two arm chairs so everyone can sit around and chat. There is also a 4-seater table in case any sports fans can't break away from the action during meals. On the opposite wall is a desk perfect for catching up on some work. There is also a guest book for feedback which we always appreciate! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to serve up an amazing meal. There is a full sized fridge, stove, blender, microwave, coffee maker, pots and pans, and all the basic utensils you'll need. A sleek black marble kitchen table seats 6. Just off the kitchen is the garage which houses the washer and dryer. Get a tournament going and whoever loses has to fold laundry!

Downstairs Beds & Bath: This is a split-level home with two bedrooms and one full bath downstairs. The downstairs bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with a marble vanity and luxury walk-in shower (no tub). The basement is home to a super fun bedroom with 2 full sized beds with end tables and lamps so you can read late into the night. Combine rest with play with a game of chess or darts! The second downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and is for the divas in the group!

Upstairs Beds & Bath: Upstairs on the third floor are 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The first bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has a king bed.
