What a wonderfully put together booking! So cozy and welcoming- it’s a perfect reprieve from the frigid outdoors. Lon was very helpful, always prompt with responses. I would absolutely recommend this booking to anyone who wants to explore the surrounding national forests, and I would certainly be open to using this booking again for the summer.

Wonderful property in the mountains with dark skies and the milky way from horizon to horizon. The hosts were very nice and easily contacted when needed. The house was comfortable, clean, and well stocked with the essentials. Do go to the Green Bank Observatory should you stay as it was a highlight of the visit. Hope to return.

Our week in the country

In a remote 1960’s farmhouse, with sparkling clean rooms and a friendly Jersey cow next door, we loitered on the porch with our coffee, and enjoyed lots of books and memorabilia for five great days while attending a friends wedding. It was wonderful and I recommend this place.

A beautiful home

A beautiful and tranquil place. Lon and his wife were super hospitable. We had two kids with us who enjoyed the fire pit at night and watching the cows in the morning. The cleanest and most well maintained vacation rental we’ve been to. Can’t wait to go back.

Winter Wonderland

Haven is a lovely warm home. It being Christmas time was decorated beautifully and we were lucky enough to get a fresh snow fall. Highland county is very quiet and rural but thats the beauty of it. Its a very special place.
