This home was built around 1936 and was the home of the Ritchie Family.

The front porch is a great place for the adults to sit while the kids play in the large yard. Outside is a nature lovers dream, listen to the crickets, catch fire flies and relax under the stars! There is small creek nearby which provides music of it's own. You will feel like you are going back in time to a place when life was simple and family was everything. Plenty of parking and trucks with trailers are welcome.

Guests will have the house all to themselves excluding the basement and attic.

Getting Around:
The road leading to the house is a single lane road that is in great condition. Once you reach the driveway there is plenty of parking for four or more cars.
Other Things to Note:
Airbnb customers agree that they undertake recreational activities in and around the Ritchie Homeplace at their own risk. This property is located in the heart of the mountains so guests need to expect possible visits from wildlife such as insects, snakes, deer, turkeys and even an occasional bear. It is not often that you may see these animals but it is possible. Bears are not aggressive unless provoked and walking in and around the forest at night is not recommended.
There is another home located at the rear of this home and we do rent it to guests as well. The brown house also called the "Dollhouse" has it's own parking and guests enter on the opposite side of this home so you will have privacy from the guests next door.
Interaction with Guests:
I rarely meet guests in person but I am always on duty!
