The farm is also located approx 3 miles from the national forest. Their are many local trout streams to fish which include the calf pasture and bull pasture river. Also many smaller local native trout streams. I know where all the honey holes are for the trout..;) Or you can visit the Virginia Trout Company in Monterey for Rainbow and Brook Trout, also the Sugar Grove trophy trout ponds. There is also another native trout steam that I can tell you about , but count on it being an all day trip! The small town of McDowell has a home town grocery store (Grants Grocery) they make fresh sandwiches/ home made biscuits and barbecue daily. There is also a small gas station just up the road that is famous for its fresh cinnamon buns. McDowell also has “Sugar Tree Country Store “for maple syrup lovers.

You will notice a large variety of different apple types with over 30 native trees on the property. Black Walnut trees are full of fox squirrels. There is also an old home on the farm that was built in 1916. The home is at an altitude of 2800 feet above sea level and at the top of our upper field , the altitude tops out at 3400 feet. So you will see snow! We have great hills for sledding!!!For skiers , the ski resorts of Snow Shoe and the Homestead are about an hour and a half drive from the farm. Many many things to do! But If you want complete privacy and just want to sit on the front porch with a cup of coffee, you have this as well. The farm is almost a mile off the less traveled small trail ( route 617) with a chain gate and a additional metal gate you will need to travel thru to get to the farm. Please note you should have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to the property in the latter part of November and into the winter. Especially December and January. This property has been in our family since 1979. The home was built in 2005. It is a very special place for me and my family to go and recharge our batteries from hectic work weeks. We are active hikers, hunters and paint ballers! We love the outdoors and would like to share our piece of heaven with you. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Porch ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Load the dishwasher Strip any used beds and gather used towels Remove personal items and take out the rubbish Please close gate around the cabin Leave doors unlocked when you leave.
