You have full access to the house, the firepit, the flat area behind the house, and the hill below the house. The space directly above the house is rented by our Amish property caretakers. You may also explore the property but please do not enter any buildings except the chapel, trash bin, and your rental. Please do not approach the farm house or the yard to the front or right of the farmhouse to give the other renters their privacy.
Interaction with Guests
I’m always available by phone and can be on site within an hour if needed. Our Amish caretakers live on property and may greet you; feel free to say hello.
Other Details to Note

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
I hiked the AT through the area and the location was perfect for my wife to drop me off each morning and pick me up at the end of the day. The home was very clean and the host was great to work with. The home also overlooked a pasture with horses and the scenery was great.,
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We spent two nights. We had a tour of ETSU and I waited to late to book a hotel. The room rates were outrageous for two hotel rooms.This place was about 30 minutes fromcampud. It a beautiful setting. The drive gorgeous. TRhe home was comfortable. Even had box fans for each room in the closet. The white noise perfect. I travel a fair bit and over the last 20 years have stayed at about at around. KLuxury places that housed 20 people, beachside homes, cabins etc. This single wide trailer was better supplied with everhthjnf you need more than anywhere Ive2stayed. Some places don't wvnwn procide dish soap. This place was cometsble and well stocned. We will stay here again and recomme d others do tio.two dozen vrbos. TIvsw
