About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Wilkinson

Three sisters, myself being in the middle, inherited this property from our parents. They were accomplished artists. Our dad was a professional photographer for many years and our mother was a light oil artist. They designed this property as a place for the extended family to gather for holidays and special occasions, of which we did for many years. This home place has always been full of joy, peace and love. We, my sisters and I, hope your stay is as restful and peaceful as we always find it to be.
Why they chose this property
Vacationing at The Foothills Retreat means versatility. You and your guests can choose how and when you want to visit. There is space for closeness such as preparing meals together in the eat in kitchen, enjoying movies in the family room, roasting marshmallows by the firepit or playing outside with the children. Are you working remote? There's an office with access to the upstairs porch for breaks in your workday. Looking to slip away from the group to catch up on that interesting novel? There's a formal living room, patio and porch with porch swing to hide from the group for a short time. Be sure to take time to enjoy the birds, rabbits and deer as they visit too. One more thing . . . expect quiet slumber waking to a rooster crowing in the distance. :)
What makes this property unique
Peaceful, private and quiet location for families and friends to reconnect sharing good food, fun and laughter.
