This was a perfect get away spot in the hills of Appalachia. Our family had a lovely time. The view is beautiful and the quiet surrounding nature is serene. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly relaxing — exactly what we were hoping for. Dan and Casey were very responsive and helpful throughout our visit, which made everything even easier. We’ll definitely be coming back!

During the winter months, if inclement weather (snow/ice) accumulates, it would be best to use a 4wd vehicle for access to Shurtz Overlook.
