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.
