Zao Starry sky cottage

We have been operating as a simple accommodation facility for 6 years. This time, we have made some changes to the listing and are treating it as a new listing. The cottage is located in Zao Kyuyo Village, a vacation home area within Miyagi Zao Quasi-National Park. This place, rich in nature, is perfect for relaxing. I think you can refresh both your mind and body. The facility is a private rental of the entire house, and the property is about 600 tsubo. You can enjoy barbecues and campfires on the property. (It is not all-weather, but a tarp tent is provided, and it can withstand some rain.) It can accommodate up to 4 people, and the bedding (urethane floor mattress, sleeping bag, blanket, pillow, 4 sets of inner sheets) includes a sleeping bag, so you can also enjoy the feeling of camping. The sleeping bags are envelope-shaped, so you can spread them out and use them as a substitute for a futon. There is one bedroom on the second floor. A full set of cooking utensils and a full set of tableware are provided. An outdoor kitchen and toilet are also available. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to your visit.
