ncluding the original homestead, barns, outbuildings and farmhouse. The outbuildings have now been converted to a bunkhouse and cabin where we offer rustic lodging to hikers and others interested in stepping back from today's hectic lifestyle to a time in America's past when life in rural backcountry Appalachia was considered the "good life". We offer lodging in our rustic bunkhouse or cabin, tent camping, hot showers, laundry, internet, mail-drops*, shuttle services, kitchen, fire pits and grills.
