A Cozy Country Home Nestled in 43 Acres of Wooded Hills, All Exclusively Yours For the Length of Your Visit!!!
This is the perfect setting for couples and families looking for a quiet getaway from the harried routine and pressures of everyday life. Rejuvenate relationships with loved ones as you find time to talk and listen, play and relax, dream and plan your future together. Hikes in the woods, picnics on the lawn, singing and sharing stories around a campfire, or a friendly water battle with the garden hose bring joy and laughter to one and all.

Discover the artist in you! Explore and expand your creativity, whether it is setting a pen to the written word, capturing a wonderful memory with your camera, or painting your masterpiece, this is the perfect time, the perfect setting!

SPRING/SUMMER- Explore the woods discovering exquisite wildflowers and chance sightings of speckled fawns frolicking under their mothers watchful gaze. Delight as delicate butterflies and brilliant hummingbirds enjoy the abundant fragrant flowers. Gardners and children of all ages get down and dirty, play in the dirt! Create a new life- plant a seed, enjoy sinking your hands in the rich sweet-smelling earth of our organic flower and vegetable gardens. Or just relax, experience the nurturing comfort of lying cradled in the womb of a hammock cooled by the shade of the towering poplars, soothed by the cooing doves and the humming cicadas.

AUTUMN - Enjoy the picture postcard beauty of the Appalachian Hills as Mother Nature adorns our trees with brilliant shades of red, yellow, and orange all set against the clear sapphire sky. Hike along wooded paths, rustling through crisp fallen leaves and breath deeply their rich, spicy scent. Build a campfire and sit dreaming into the gold, flickering flames or stretch back onto the cool fragrant grass gazing at the thousands of glittering stars performing their celestial dance in the blue-black velvet sky.

WINTER-Walk along snow covered paths spotting and identifying tracks of local wildlife, the hip-hop of a rabbit, the scattered run of a squirrel, the meanderings of a grazing deer. Enjoy a relaxing nap in the comfy easy chair by the wood burning stove or nature watch as a multitude of birds jostle at the feeders and deer pick their way across the yard enjoying their evening dinner. In the evening fill the air with the scent of hot buttery popcorn and gather around a favorite board game experiencing the quiet joy of being together as a family.

  • The majestic hills of WV that surround this gorgeous and peaceful country retreat seem to whisper to visitors that the time to relax and unwind has arrived. If at first I didn't hear it as I entered the 43 acres after transitioning from the busyness of my normally hectic NJ lifestyle, it was only a matter of time. The sounds of the seasons, the beautiful colors of the trees, the timeless quality of the grounds and rustic home---all seemed to speak directly to me, imploring me to just enjoy myself while savoring each moment of peaceful relaxation away from work (and traffic!). Those who choose like I did to spend some time alone here in quiet reflection will find an immediate companion in nature---and friendly neighbors are never far away (and even shared with me some delicious homemade pie and juice!). The summertime when I went was full of life and energy. I ate healthy foods. I slept soundly. I was able to rest. I was able to "pass the time" sitting on the porch drinking tea. Who gets to "pass the time" in quiet with a smile on their faces these days? It seems it is those who take the time to do it. Families will build lasting memories of time spent together---talking, sharing, roaming freely the open land, hiking, reading, bird watching, counting deer. When given the opportunity to just enjoy time alone or time together, the cherished moments will seem to last forever. I'm looking forward to returning in the fall to see the changing of the leaves! Any questions at all, call Pat. She is so friendly! She really helped me to visualize my stay. You can tell from speaking with her that she truly wants this land and this retreat to be enjoyed by those seeking to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life. Thanks Pat! Jennie S.
