Westerfield Kitchen Flat
Overview
Westerfield Kitchen Flat is a one-bedroom apartment in the New Athens area, set on a small rural property that feels secluded despite nearby neighbors. The unit sleeps up to three and is located downstairs from the main cabin, separated by a locked door. Guests access the entrance on the north side of the cabin via a wood deck by the parking lot, with quiet hours observed from 10 pm to 7 am.

The apartment is decorated with reclaimed barn wood from neighboring farms and is designed for longer stays, with a sitting room and dining table by the window. Entertainment includes a TV with Roku and DVDs plus a shelf stocked with books, games, movies, and puzzles. Climate control basics are covered with air conditioning and heating, and the property is smoke-free.
Kitchen & in-unit laundry
A standout feature is the fully equipped kitchen with a large island, full-size refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove with a 6-burner range, and an extensive set of pots, pans, and accessories. Coffee provisions include a small drip coffee pot, some coffee and tea, a French press, and a coffee grinder. A full-size washer and dryer are included in the unit.
Outdoor amenities & parking
Shared outdoor amenities include a gas grill, a fire pit past the parking lot, and outdoor space next to a farmer’s field. Two free parking spaces are provided; guests are asked to use only their designated spaces and stay on the cabin’s side of the driveway. Free Wi-Fi is available.
