Welcome to Brookforest! Our home sits on 6 acres about 1.5 miles from the interstate and includes a pond, waterfall, and a large saltwater pool with natural, calming landscaping. Your apartment is located on the ground floor of the house and is 1400 square feet. You have a separate entrance with parking directly in front of your door. The property is tranquil and feels like it is in the country, but is only twenty minutes from downtown and ten minutes from the Summit shopping mall.
There is a covered patio leading up to your door. Keyless entry leads you into your open living area with a 70-inch LCD smart television with an Amazon Fire Stick, couch, coffee table, and a stocked coffee bar with both regular and decaf. As you walk further into your living space, you have a dining table with seating for four as well as a desk with a monitor and cables to connect a PC, a comfortable office chair, and complimentary Wi-Fi. As you turn the corner, you will enter the kitchenette with a full-size stainless-steel GE stove and microwave, full-size side-by-side stainless steel KitchenAid refrigerator, sink, island, and a full set of pots and pans to prepare any meal you like. You have a full-size front-loading Whirlpool washer and dryer for your use. The first bedroom has a queen bed and an LCD wall-mounted TV with an Amazon Firestick, dresser, and closet. The second bedroom has two twin beds and toys for your little ones. Your full bath has a curved shower rod for extra space with a shower/bath combination.

Guest access
The entire downstairs is yours and you may use the property as well, but the property could be shared space depending on our family plans. We always try to accommodate our guest's use of the pool and outdoors and stay out of your way and we will communicate if we plan to use the space and schedule with you.
Other things to note
We will consider reservations for events, but any special event will have an additional charge that we can discuss prior to booking, just message me to discuss.
We live on six acres and that means we have wildlife, insects, and foliage that you might not be accustomed to. We are happy to help with any inconveniences you experience, but we happily co-exist with nature at Brookforest Acres.
