About Mona Rishel-Shissler

My husband (Bryon) and I purchased the James Campbell Farm property (located beside the Woodland Cottage) in 1990 and spent many years restoring the original (1780's) log house as our home. Subsequently we have refurbished all of the farm buildings and added our "glamping" site at our son's favorite camping spot. We have planted 100's of trees (mostly native species), created vegetable, fruit, herb and flower gardens. In addition to raising much of what we eat we cut firewood on our sustainably managed forests -- press apple cider in the fall and early in the year produce woodfired maple syrup from trees on the property. ************Come and see how peace-filled and 'green' country life can be!

Why Mona Rishel-Shissler chose Fort Hill

Bryon and I were excited to have a chance to share our homestead by purchasing the small wooded parcel next to us, rebuilding the cabin, repurposing the pavilion and creating a special place for couples to slow down and recharge. Over the years guests at the "Cottage" (see: Vrbo 322410) and this listing have given us 5 star reviews, we are happy to continue our efforts to make the "Woodland" Cottage a place our guests will love to visit again and again.

What makes this Cottage unique

This "woodland" cottage is 'tucked' into its very own 'special' spot beside a small stream, in the woods and surrounded by over 800 acres of undeveloped land on our side of Fort Hill Road. (This property is owned and posted by Highlands Land Assoc. LLC) There are 2 cabins on these acres but they are more than a 1/2 mile down Fort Hill Road and the cottage itself feels very private. There are many types of bird feeders that attract a variety of birds. Flowerbeds attract butterflies. On any given day you might see woodcock, ruffed grouse, wild turkey and white-tailed deer. If you are lucky you might hear a great horned owl, screech owl, or a coyote. The view from deck is forests and mountains as far as the eye can see.
