Rural, countryside destination along a quiet, well-maintained, unpaved road. Forest, mountains, ponds, lakes, rivers, our own spring-fed mountain brook, wildlife, and clear skies. We feel very remote and rural yet are accessible to nearby villages and towns for your sundries, ice, supplies, groceries, farmers markets, dining and the like. What we love most about this part of the world is that the landscape, waterways, and mountains are so incredibly beautiful (stunning, really).
