Entertainment

Hartwood K keeps things simple and relaxing - the focus here is on the views, the fireplace, and good company. With five TVs spread across both levels, there is always a screen where you need one, whether the kids are winding down in the bunk room or the adults are settling in by the fire.

Dishware and utensils are provided per guest, so no one is left without a place at the table. A dishwasher and garbage disposal make cleanup easy, and the refrigerator and stove handle all the heavy lifting.
