The wilds

It’s difficult getting around in the rain, because of the switchbacks and how dark it is. In the sunlight, it’s beautiful, the rolling Hills, the waterfalls the creek right in front of the house. That stayed with most of the time. You are deep in the woods. Glad I went, probably wouldn’t do it again.

Beautiful property!

This cozy little house is in a great location - far enough away that it feels private but close enough that you can still get things you need! The property was beautiful and the sound of the river was comforting. The porches were perfect for just sitting and enjoying nature.
