" (Riverside FarmHouse)..felt like home, but with a mountain view.   (It was)..comfortable, well stocked, best view, very clean and the bed was so comfortable!...This has really been a place of peace for us.....We saw deer--many behind and beside the house--rabbits and many birds.  We saw many cows and sheep, several eagles, chipmunks, no bears thank goodness.  We caught four large trout in the stream and had them for supper one night.  One was so big it would not fit in the largest fry pan.  They were very good.  ...  Comfort, beauty, peace and joy are sisters here.

  2. "We had that overwhelming 'home-at-last' feeling as we pulled into the driveway...The morning serenade of cows and the sound of the stream running over the rocks, and the wind rustling through the leaves, a sound we don't hear in Florida....Feel at peace and so close to God in this wonderful place."

  6. "...the piano really got a workout this time with lots of Christmas music. We took the kids to Snowshoe for a day of skiing and tubing and that was plenty of winter for us. this year. Our spirits were renewed and challenged for the New Year at Blue Grass UM Church and we enjoyed the New Year's Concert at Garth Newel Music Center. Looking forward to next time."

  10. We found this hidden gem quite by accident when looking for a place that could accommodate a larger group for the first weekend of Maple Fest. I spoke with the owners several times during the 'reservation' phase and I was confident going in that we would enjoy our stay. Little did we know that we would absolutely LOVE this great old house! The bedrooms were spacious and the full kitchen had all the amenities we needed for us to enjoy all of our meals as a group. A full sized dining room and living room were a plus as well. A second shower would be nice, but there is no room in this review for a complaint as we all worked around that one minor item. The property was fantastic and getting to see the newborn lambs daily was a bonus. We also can't say enough about the owners / hosts. They were around enough to ensure we had everything we needed and yet we never felt like any privacy was invaded. They were accommodating on numerous levels and helped make our stay fantastic! I am VERY sure we'll be back to this awesome retreat location!! If you're considering a reservation here, don't hesitate - just do it - you won't regret it!

  11. From the beginning the owners were very helpful answering question and providing information for our stay. My family and me spent our xmas vacation there and we loved the place! The house was perfectly clean and warm and have all the sheets, blankets, towels and kitchen equipment any large group may need. The property is set in a beautifull location and all my family, including my one year old son enjoyed walking the hills (get to the top, it's beautiful!), going to the creek in sunny afternoons and exploring the outdoors despite of the cold. The little town of Monterrey is darling and we visited its library and most of the shops. We also did almost every sceanic drive we found in a brochure the owners left for us and we really liked them. All in all one of the best vacations we had. Thank you Jeanie for everything.
