Post Christmas Trip

The property was peaceful. There are plenty of paces to stroll and nearby hiking trails as well. The sound of the water was soothing and relaxing. I am sure it must be a great retreat from the heat of the summer as tubing and kayaking would be readily available.

42nd anniversary trip

As other have said, the pictures only hint at the beauty of this property. We had planned to do some tourist visits to the caverns, etc, but we realized we were already in our own private mountain park and it couldn't get any better than this. We hiked, fished in the river, and grilled steaks from Crabill's up the street. We watched the mountain range on all sides of the surrounding valley turn into fall. We identified more song birds in this spot than in any other rental. We watched as deer, wild turkey and cattle grazed in the field. The night sky was wonderful for star gazing, and I even saw a meteor. If we could live here, we would....

Perfection

Everything was perfect. The pictures of the property don’t do the beauty justice. Gorgeous setting in the valley, by the river, with mountain range all around. The house had everything we needed and more. We’ll be back again for sure!

A Garden of Eden(with a Farmhouse)

To be honest, I would like to give Kathleen and Jerry's property a negative review, in order to keep the place all to myself...but the truth should be told. The pictures on the website do not give an accurate depiction of the house or the property. It is WAY more beautiful, charming, and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, it felt as though we were plopped down in the middle of an National Geographic nature show. In our first few moments we were greeted by Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey, Great Blue herons, Green herons, Belted Kingfishers, Osprey, and a huge variety of songbirds. The list continued to grow as the weekend continued...and the Smallmouth bass were bitin'!!! The farmhouse, itself, is much roomier than it appears in the photos. It was actually rather surprising. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The kitchen is as well. The cabinets are better stocked than those at my own house. From a large array of spices to every cooking utensil that you could possibly need, you will want for nothing. The plentiful supply of towels and the bed linens are soft and of obvious high quality. The one rainy day gave us a well-needed day of rest from all our outdoor activities. Even then, Mother Nature's show continued through the large windows throughout the house. We all could still watch the deer and flocks of turkey feeding in the surrounding fields. A rolling mist across the green mountains gave us the illusion being in Ireland. This place is simply heaven!!!
