Little Switzerland

Our family has been staying at the Wilson House for a number of years. Over that time we have made so many lasting memories. We are still awestruck by the front yard views every time we return!

We wished we could have stayed longer

This property met and exceeded the expectations of myself and my friends who spent the weekend here. It is a century old home, and it shows!, but it has been upgraded sufficiently to make a stay there comfortable and fun. We enjoyed the solitude, the view from the front yard, the many amenities, the hiking trail (challenging!), and the peek at what life must have been like in the early 20th century. Great place to get away from it all.

Beautiful view. Back of cow pasture.

I like to say things I think will be helpful for future guests. First, the house slopes up in the first half and down in the second. The stove is in one small room, the sink in another and the refrigerator in another. No problem for us. Stair are narrow on riser but good railings. Fall risk for anyone unsteady on their feet. Very quiet and peaceful. Beds comfortable.
