The mind is a terrible thing to waste unless that is your intention. Sometimes that’s the best form of relaxation, to just sit on the deck and listen to the sounds from the soothing stream below and just waste a few moments by yourself nestled under a canopy provided by 70 foot Hemlock trees. Soothing Waters will change your way of thinking and that’s exactly why you should be here. There are two queen bedrooms, one on each floor, as well as two full baths plus additional sleeping for two in the loft.
Hot tub and gas grill on the deck, internet and pet friendly, EV charging station (J1772 EV charger @ 30 Amp), gas log fireplace, central heating/air, master bath features a jacuzzi bathtub and tile shower to die for, modern kitchen, well furnished Family Room, rustic yet was the whole idea. Soothing Waters is not just a name, it’s a place in the mountains just quietly you.
