Farmhouse in the South Branch River Valley with idyllic views and country charm
Welcome to Nellie's Farmhouse! LOCATION is key to this rental. Nestled in farm fields along the South Branch River, Nellies is close to many scenic wonders in the Potomac Highlands, including the famous Trough section of the South Branch of the Potomac River. In the midst of where eagles fly, Nellies boasts scenic farm and mountain views in every direction. This farmhouse vacation rental offers a truly relaxing escape in an unforgettable setting. With 3 bedrooms, including a king, queen, full, and two twin beds, everyone will have a comfortable night's sleep. The beautifully decorated bathroom features a large soaking tub and walk-in shower. The newly renovated kitchen is well equipped for cooking while maintaining its historic charm. There is plenty of meal seating for the whole family with bar stools, a kitchen nook with a view and an adjacent, spacious dining room table overlooking the property's pond.  Guests will enjoy outdoor front and back porches with breathtaking farm views.  Local photography adorns the walls throughout the house. Enjoy lots of green space, night sounds, beautiful views, birdwatching, farm life, wildlife viewing, night skies, and the simplicity of country life.
