The Orchard On The Ol’ Homestead

Waterfront serenity tucked into the timeless beauty of an old homestead. Gods Country. A place where the past lingers gently, offering quiet moments and a slower rhythm, steeped in the spirit of simpler times. The property has a railroad track nearby with trains running several times a day. There is no whistle, but if you are a light sleeper the rumble may be a disturbance. 23.5 hours a day are incredibly peaceful. The other half hour is a nostalgic sound track, echoing the spirit of American industry that helped build a nation!
