Host profile image

Since moving to the area 10 years ago, we have had our eye on this farmhouse. We jumped at the opportunity to purchase it in 2019 and spent most of 2020 renovating the inside. It was a labor of love and we hope you fall in love with it as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

Stay in a piece of history while enjoying modern amenities. Hersie House was built before the lake was created. Come enjoy all that Towns County has to offer or just relax by the lake. Either way we hope you will enjoy our little home away from home.

What makes this property unique

Charm of staying in a house that is older than the lake while also enjoying modern amenities.
