Step Into A Robert Frost Poem
Step into a Robert Frost poem combined with a state-of-the-art sustainable farm that also happens to be a beautiful B&B. Marsha and her family were immensely welcoming and accommodating, and it was an absolute honor to get a glimpse into their inspiring lifestyle. Only a 20 min drive from White Grass Ski Area, we were able to traverse the snow-covered roads just fine with our Forerunner. The wifi worked well for us, our room was perfectly comfortable, and Marsha provided anything we needed (and generously made us breakfast). I cannot wait to stay with her and her family again at this one-of-a-kind destination! ~ Samantha
This is a Very Special Place!
This is a very special place. This idyllic working farm is nestled by the Dry Fork River in the valley between two incredible mountain ranges so no matter where you look, you'll find magical views. The second you walk in, Marsha makes you feel right at home and part of her wonderful family. The charming 120-year-old house is beautifully maintained and has a lovely homey feeling. You will love the delicious fresh and healthy homemade breakfasts and dinners. It is also an animal lover's paradise - inside, the family's large friendly dog and three cats are there to give you company and love to be petted, with kitties purring and jumping on your lap. Outside, there are pigs (with piglets), sheep, chickens, bunnies, and horses. Marsha's son Collin - the master class falconer, is happy to show you his magnificent birds of prey and the ways he trains them. If you enjoy nature and animals, this is the place for you! ~Melli
One of the Best Places I've Ever Stayed!
One of the best places I've stayed and one of my favorite trips to add to the memories. This secluded farm was so peaceful - I was able to finally disconnect, enjoy the moments, and slept amazing. My husband and I loved walking the farm and seeing all of the animals, relaxing in the hammock by the river, and getting to know Marsha and her family. Marsha, her husband, and her awesome kids make you feel right at home and part of the family. One of our favorite parts was playing a board game one evening with Josie! Perfect location to make trips to Blackwater Falls, Spruce Knob & Seneca Rock, Canaan Valley, or exploring the cute little towns of Thomas and Davis. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area - we will definitely be back! ~ Lindsay
Reviews
Feel Recharged
This was an unexpected treat. I was able to get away and spend time in the nature, staying in a farm with friendly dogs , curious cats, all while being treated like family with home cooked healthy food and sharing stories ... Marsha, Kendall and the kids were delightful and warm.. And am grateful for their generous and gracious hospitality. Feel recharged. ~ Madhavi
Stargazing Glamping Dome
Guest Review: My kids and I spent a magical night under the stars in the dome! We got to walk around the property checking out the many animals, stream, and beautiful landscape before retiring to the dome for games! I was a little worried about the weather forecast bc it was supposed to be cold and rain overnight, but Marsha’s husband already had a nice fire waiting for us and the dome was plenty warm and dry!! Marsha made us a lovely breakfast in the morning before we we departed and made sure I had printed instructions in case we hit a bad cell spot along the way. We plan to visit again!! My daughter said this was her best adventure yet! Seneca rocks and black water falls both within about 30 mins! ~ Brooke
Something For Everyone
I have traveled here three times for different get-aways. This BnB is my go to for rest and relaxation. Marsha is a gracious host and her family is delightful. The house and property is gorgeous and, best of all, it is a working farm. There is always plenty to going on. From milking cows to Falconer demonstration, this place has something for everyone! ~ Tracy
Unique, Memorable, and Fun!
The home is absolutely charming. Built in 1905, it has a victorian, farmhouse vibe. It is warm, quaint, and comfortable. The host family is wonderful. We played board games with them and some of the other guests the first night. The next morning we woke to a wonderful breakfast and then was treated to a tour of the grounds. They have chickens, pigs, horses, mules, dogs, and cats. The river that runs alongside the estate is absolutely beautiful. There are also some remnants from the past as the estate used to be a logging town with over 800 residents and 300 structures. Later that afternoon, we went on a squirrel hunting excursion with one of the best Falconers in the state and his Red-Tailed Halk. It was amazing! ~ Curtis
Bittersweet to Leave
We love Marsha, her family, their animals, and the beautiful landscape they call home. They are deeply committed to ensuring guests have the best experience they can provide and they make everyone feel like family. This is why we keep coming back. It’s always a little bittersweet to leave. I’m so grateful to her and her family for who they are and what they do. They’re all true gems. ~ Theo
