Enjoy the Peace and Serenity of Nature
The Front Porch
The front porch greets you with a hug and has seating for four- a perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee while watching the wildlife.
The Rear Deck
Wading out onto the back deck is a real treat. The view of the great lawn, the barn, and the forest can all be enjoyed from this vantage point. There is an electric awning for our guests’ comfort on sunny or rainy days.
The Backyard
The great lawn viewed from the back deck is a sight for the eyes and ears. Lots of wildlife can be heard chirping, buzzing, ribbiting, and cooing, especially in the early mornings and at dusk.
The Outdoor Dining Area
There is an outdoor dining table with seating for 10 on the front patio with a view of the fire pit and forest.
The Firepit
The fire pit is a favorite spot for our guests. Perfect for an evening drink, hot cocoa, and telling stories. We provide six chairs as well as one bundle of wood and fireproof blankets.
The Hot Tub
The hot tub located on the back lower deck area is perfectly positioned to enjoy the view of the great lawn and barn.
The Barn
The 1820’s barn was built by the Mabrys, one of the original settling families of the area. It is made of chestnut trees which were plentiful at the time and have since gone extinct in the United States. The barn is a rare treasure which makes a wonderful backdrop for photos. The interior of the center portion and lean-to area on the right side can be used for small dinner parties and events for up to 50 people.
The Creek
1700 feet of Road Creek runs through the property. There is a walking trail to the left of the barn for guests to explore the area and listen to the relaxing sounds of the babbling brook.
The Path to the Creek
Take a serene short hike through the forest down to the peaceful creek – fun for the whole family.
