We are a semi retired couple with a farm. We both are from Carter County (Elizabethton) born and raised.
We have other rental properties in this area and decided to turn my husband's grandparents place into a VRBO rental. We enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and having them stay at our Farmstead.
