JULY DISCOUNT! Romantic 2 BR 2 story w/mountain views and stunning outdoor space
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains with easy access to wineries, breweries, hiking, biking, boating and fishing. Located on a 220 year old farm, the Guest House at Forest Hill features a professionally decorated interior with beautiful views of Mt. Pleasant from the upstairs porch. You can cozy up and read or have a glass of wine and dinner on the downstairs porch while enjoying the stars. Well suited for those who enjoy a well appointed space and an excellent choice for those who love to cook. You will find a nice bottle of wine on the counter and our own grass fed beef in the freezer when you arrive. For history buffs, The Guest House is a former "teachery" (where the teachers lived) for the first Rosenwald School in Amherst County.
