Place was amazing. Wish we had more than a day to stay. Deer running all over the area, beautiful stream and fire pits all over the property. A must stay if you want a peaceful getaway!

Nice place and renovation idea

It’s a small historic neighborhood that was largely forgotten. The owners are renovating it as a good destination for hiking and the like.

Gem off the beaten path

We came for a wedding at the Barn at Graver’s Tree Farm. The hotels reserved for the wedding were too far and not rated highly. Found this 1st floor house that slept 6 and it was perfect. The whole place was recently redone and everything was top notch. Great high end fixtures and the kitchen was excellent. Fully stocked with everything you could want or need. Bathrooms were very tastefully done and large. Hiking trails nearby and close to town. Owner very attentive and super nice. The only surprise (but very cool) is the bridge to get into compound. It looks like a one lane wooden bridge barely safe for walking but underneath are massive steel beams. Adds to the charm. Would definitely recommend to stay!!
