Wonderful!

Even rain couldn't keep us down!
Wow! What a property and what a house... Our Memorial Day weekend get together (14 adults, 14 kids) met the misfortune of lots of steady showers, but we didn't let that stop our fun. When the rain was light enough, we would get out to canoe, fish, catch salamanders, go for hikes, and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. We spotted Eastern Phoebes (living on the deck), catbirds, swallows, white breasted nuthatches, cardinals, as well as a northern water snake, and a fawn.
When the rain was heavy, we hunkered down in the house, playing cards, pool, ping pong, having nerf gun wars, reading books, and enjoying the two fireplaces. There were lots of miscellaneous toys and board games tucked in the cabinets. The great room is a wonderful place to all be together even while doing separate activities, but there's also plenty of room in the house to find privacy. Every corner you turn, you find a different little curio or vintage piece of furniture. One wardrobe was checked multiple times to see if Narnia was at the back. The faux animal skins and copper vats inspired many Game of Thrones jokes. There is wireless at the house now and a couple of us connected to it, but most us stayed blissfully offline, with no regrets.
The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, common spices and cooking needs, etc. Double fridges were clutch for feeding so many people. Love the quiet dishwasher and the open shelving and large pantry which made it easy to store food and cook and clean up. Bathrooms were plentiful - not every room has a full bath with shower or tub but if you're good enough friends to be staying together out in the middle of nowhere, you're good enough friends to manage taking turns with the showers, right? One note - make sure anyone you plan on putting in the sleeping loft is able to manage climbing a completely vertical ladder and getting back down. Kids love it but have to be old enough to be safe on it, and adults have to be young enough to pull themselves over the top! When you see pictures of the carpets online, you might think "musty" or "allergies", but this place was one of the cleanest I've ever stayed and had no "wet carpet" smell. I get sneezy very quickly and never did here! The owner called by phone to check in the first night and was very friendly and responsive to all my pre-trip questions. He made it very easy!
Thanks for such a great stay! We loved it and can't wait to come back!
Incredible Place....Great Owners
First of all thank you Josh & Michael for helping our retreat come together effortlessly and make it the best ever with your very responsive (within minutes usually) answers and helpful guidance that helped us coordinate the activities and menu (love Bingmans meats) for 26 people & 5 dogs from 4 states. We have been having a get together at different locations (usually staying at various hotels etc) for the past 10 years as our group is very extended from DC to Ohio. We have been wanting a place everyone can drive too easily that was big enough for all of us to be under one roof yet with enough outdoor activities to keep everyone happy (not easy to do) - from golf to hiking to swimming to grilling and making smores by the bonfire. We literally found the perfect place and the nicest owners who helped us with finding a great local butcher who cut us the freshest meats and delicious burgers for our dinners and introduced us to a local Buffalo Farm where there are literally hundreds of wild buffalo roaming over huge fields - the kids could not believe how big they were!! I probably reached out 5 times with questions of the owners and they always got back with a response in minutes. The house is really big and well laid out and at night the game room was in full use to the wee hours. We went on group hikes everyday, the kids fished and the dogs thought they discovered paradise. On the final night we had a big bonfire under the most amazing star filled sky and made smores till marshmallows came out of our ears. We had an amazing, amazing vacation at your home and we cannot thank you enough! We cannot wait to return next year.
Beautiful home but not close to five stars for the cost.
The home is in a beautiful location with a spectacular old growth forest, well kept property, a mountain stream, and a spring-fed pond for swimming. The panoramic view from the large deck was gorgeous. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils and sundries. There were plenty of beds for a large family get-together. There was lots of easily accessible wood for the fireplaces.
However, the home furnishings and utilities were a throw-back to the 1970's - very appropriate for a hunting party, less so for a family reunion. The internet connection was a throw-back to the 1990's. Also, there was no heat in the lower bathroom and counter tops were minimal at best. The canoe had a hole and the kayak was not to be found. There was a pile of electrical trash next to the house which would present a problem to any young children. The damper to the downstairs fireplace was broken, which we learned of when the house filled with smoke. The kitchen had a mouse.
The owners threw in bedding and towels at no additional cost but you need to make the beds. After the addition of fees, taxes, etc., the final cost was 40% more than the listed per night cost. A beautiful home but not worth that amount. My family has been doing reunions for over twenty years across the eastern United States. We have consistently found large homes of equal value for one half the cost.
Fabulous Vaccation
This property is stunning and very well maintained. Wherever you look all you see are stunning views. During our rental weekend, the daffodils were in full bloom everywhere and it was a sight to behold. It is the perfect place to spend your time reconnecting with nature and your family away from the hustle and bustle of life. The house is well stocked with amenities for outdoor activities like fishing and boating. You can go on hikes. There is a charming stream that flows through the property. There is a fabulous pool right upfront,. As it was April and the water was cold we were unable to go for a swim in it, but the kids had a great time dipping their foot in it and playing in the water..The kitchen is tidy and has all things you would need. Its a perfect getaway. We look forward to coming back...
Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Our party of 25+ adults (ages 26-62) rented this property for 3 days in late March / early April. The photos do not do the property justice, especially the privacy and spaciousness of both the home and the land surrounding it. Upon arrival we found all of the bedding, bathrooms, and kitchen to be extremely clean and in good order. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful, quick to answer any questions including those asked the day we were to arrive at the property. From a courtesy call on our arrival day to make sure everything was okay, to allowing us to take our time during departure since no one else was coming in that day (other than the cleaning crew).
The interior of the cabin is filled with treasures that sparked conversations throughout the weekend. The wide open great room with the fireplace and the basement game room with fireplace provided plenty of space for everyone even though it rained during most of our stay. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our older guests, and the younger guests enjoyed the thrill of climbing the hay ladder into the sleeping loft. We were amazed at the number of fishing rods and outdoor items (soccer balls, volley ball, bad mitten rackets, football, croquet set, etc...) that the owners provided in the downstairs hallway. The amount of cut, dried, and stacked firewood well outlasted the fires we had going all weekend. As the owners noted, cell service is spotty, however we tested a Verizon Jetpack that worked well.
To say the kitchen was well stocked would be an understatement, it had a plethora of pots, pans, mixing bowls, muffin pans, large stock pots, and the Keurig and regular drip coffee maker kept all of our guests happy and caffeinated. The dishwasher looked brand new, and the two fridges were very clean and provided plenty of space for all of our food. Just a note, one fridge has a top freezer with ice maker, and the other fridge is a full free standing unit with about 5-6 shelves (no freezer).
A few of our braver guests made the polar plunge into the spring fed pond, and we enjoyed fishing in the larger pond. The true remoteness of this property is amazing. Standing outside on the full wrap around deck you are instantly at peace as the only sound is the creek and wind blowing through the mountainside. I highly recommend making the trip up to rocking chair ridge and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding property.
We cannot wait to visit this property again in the near future!
We make this an annual retreat destination!!
This property is so perfect! We have a large group of 20 people and spend a weekend every year out here enjoying the breathtaking beauty of the region. It's quite rare to find a place that has a lake, natural swimming pond, and creek running right beside each other. Sitting up on the balcony with the fire crackling inside is the most peaceful thing - I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone else looking to escape and get away for a bit!
