Full description

A small mountain house located in a villa area of Minē, Kawazu Town. The 1st floor features a dining kitchen and Western-style room; the 2nd floor has a loft. Despite its compact size, it has a charming secret-base-like appeal. The highlight of this house is a large wooden deck. On beautiful days, it seems perfect for stepping outside to enjoy coffee, read a book, and spend time leisurely. The yard is spacious, allowing you to enjoy yourself surrounded by nature. It would also be wonderful for vegetable gardening and landscaping. Appeal points: beautiful views of distant mountains / Usage status: currently used as a short-term rental cottage
