    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 absolutely loved our stay here. The views were magnificent, the property gave us a lovely walk. Though we were in the area for an event, we were very happy to have some down time to enjoy all of the space and quanquility. Functionally, it was one of the best stocked vacation rentals I have ever stayed at. Everything you could want in the kitchen, convenient towels for the hot tub, lots of maps and info on things to do. Nicole is an extremely thoughtful host and it showed. Oh, and while this is a bit off the beaten path(wonderful!) the directions were perfect and it was super easy to get to. Price-wise, it was a little steep for 2 people (but the only thing I liked in our needed locations, so worth it to me), but the house comfortably would sleep/sit/dine 12-14 and its a steal if you have even 5, much less 12-14- it would be perfect for a small family reunion or similar. We hope to get back:)

    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.

    Thank you for allowing us to stay at your vacation home. It was a wonderful base during the Highland County Maple Festival. We plan on coming back in a few years and hope to stay here again. We appreciate that the house was dog friendly and all the amenities.

    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.

    This rental was awesome! Couldn't have found a better place. We were there to do Via Ferrata at Nrocks in Circleville, WV and this rental was 30 away which was perfect. The owners were extremely responsive and nice! I'm coming down again next summer and hope to rent this place again.
