About this house rental
A quiet cottage retreat just blocks from the still waters of Martha Lake, Stillhouse is a soulful blend of mid-century architecture and woodland cottage charm, a place where the soft crackle of wood-burning warmth, layered textures, and lake breezes whispering through the treetops come together in perfect rhythm.
Nestled on a lush 12,000 sq ft lot, framed by mature trees and a private greenbelt, this charming 3-bedroom + den home with its chef’s kitchen, cozy wood stove, and tree-framed patio invites you to slow down, gather close, and feel at home. Whether you’re staying for a season or a much-needed reset, the home is made for rest, reconnection, and slow mornings that stretch into afternoon.
The Heart of the Home
Light drifts gently through skylights, falling across vaulted ceilings and exposed beams like sunlight through a forest canopy. Below, hand-scraped hardwoods ground the space, while the living room is softened by the quiet comfort of a cozy sectional and flat-screen TV.
The kitchen and dining areas flow together in one open space that serves as the heart of the home, designed for connection and warmed by the steady glow of a wood-burning stove. Whimsical beadboard cabinetry, stone tile countertops, and a striking 6-burner stainless and copper stove anchor the kitchen, making it just as inviting for quick breakfasts as it is for slow, firelit dinners around the table for six.
Wide patio doors open to the backyard, inviting in the breeze and the hush of the trees beyond. Whether you're sipping coffee on the patio, enjoying wine by the fire, or sharing stories as the sun dips low, this is a space that invites you to linger, soften, and stay awhile.
