Property Description
Rustic Elegance! While retaining the rustic aesthetic of this unique “compound”, the systematic updating and inclusion of modern day conveniences in the most creative and elegant ways, has transformed it into a retreat for the ages! No one will forget their glorious stay in this perfect wonderland! Leave the stress of the big city behind for a breath of fresh mountain air! The main cabin, with its beautiful rear expansion, features 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a full sized laundry room as well as a great variety of daytime spaces all perfectly finished and furnished for ultimate enjoyment. Heading down the private drive from Old Forge Rd, the first cabins you see, as you round the corner, are the guest cottages and their red-roofed gazebo. The “little cabin” cottage has an upstairs bedroom and super comfortable pull-out-sofa in the living room, as well as a petite kitchen and cottage-chic full bathroom. The one-room “studio cabin” is bedroom by night and quiet indoor space by day. The grounds have also been extensively improved with strategically placed professional landscaping, including a relaxing pond, a sunken fire pit and an above ground fire pit with a river view. The “river trail”, one of 5 trails, leads to the Shenandoah River access portion of the property. But for a few more personal items, all the furnishings convey as shown. As if the Rustic Elegance of the cabins isn’t enough, their history is equally special! Made of logs dating back to the 1800’s, these cabins were originally situated on what was to become the Appalachian Trail. Disassembled and moved aside to make way for the trail, this collection of cabins was acquired and carried away by mule by the Winn sisters. With the help of a family friend in Luray, they were able to secure these two pieces of land to rebuild their rescued cabins on in the 1940’s. The two sisters, one, a teacher in Baltimore (and more comfortable with the rustic life in the cabins), the other, a writer in NYC, spent only summers at the property. They supported their “mountain neighbors” by establishing a cottage industry, teaching the locals to weave and sew using the large room in the bank barn. The crafts these locals learned to produce were then purchased by the Winn sisters who would take them to fairs and sell them. This enabled them to provide much needed income for their new neighbors. Over time, plumbing was added to the main cabin to make it more accommodating to the NY sister. After the sisters’ passing in the 60’s, the cabins withered through a period of disuse until the current owners stumbled upon the property in 2013 and began its transformation. With the transformation fully completed and other interests beaconing in the distance, the time has come for the next chapter of this storied property to begin. Perhaps this is just the amazing, truly turn-key possibility you’ve been dreaming of.
