About this property

Secluded mountain home; explorable acreage; free of noise and light pollution

The farmhouse sits almost one mile off of US Route 220 with the nearest neighbor being a half mile away with 150 mostly forested acres to explore with old roads, trails, and a mountain stream . Three covered porches include a spa, grill, and porch swing. An elderly neighbor does walk the property for exercise as has been his routine for 25 years but is very respectful of guests and maintains guests’ privacy. Only only cell service provider available at the house is AT&T.

We went with several others, some who had been going to the area for almost 50 years. The entire experience was wonderful! Extremely clean, well stocked, views were awesome. The owners checked in to make sure everything was okay. We have already decided to return next year for additional days.

Perfect Mountain getaway

The property is secluded and very comfortable. You just sit out on the front Stone porch and enjoy the beautiful view of the valley in front of you in the mountains and listen to the stream.. we felt like we were at our grandma’s house so comfortable and very spacious.

Family trip

We had a blast staying hereThere is so much nature and things to doOn a rainy day we took the kids the next town over to the discovery museum , and we saw several caves and waterfalls. Not to mention the creek running down the mountain on the property. On our last day there was an amazing lighting storm over the mountains. I recommend this place for anyone who wants a quiet relaxing vacation.
