Once a dairy farm for over 200 years, we acquired the property 16 years ago and immediately started on the task of reverting the property back to it's pre dairy farm state. Working with the Forestry department and other agencies, we have reforested over 30 acres with over 6,000 trees. We have also created a wildlife habitat ( Wildlife corridor) which has succeeded in bringing back species of birds that have long been gone from the valley. Additionally, the pond in the back of the property was dying, now it is thriving! No logging on this property since 1964 and we plan to keep it that way. Just today, there were a bunch of wild turkeys in the front field which is now encircled with chinquapins. We are happy to announce that starting in the Fall, we begin the process of converting the final 9 acres of hay into wild flower fields. This has been in the works for years and we are so excited that it is finally happening! Learn more about this land: Allen has carved out some beautiful sites for you to choose from with awesome views of the western Virginia mountains. Looking for privacy? You've got it here. You get away for privacy, not crowds. Choose  your own special piece of paradise. The property has multiple fields, the side of a forest covered mountain, and sites along the creek. We back up to Jefferson National Forest. This property is really more for the tent camper that does not need a lot of amenities. If you have a small RV ( like a tear drop) or vehicle you can sleep in, we do have flat fields that can accommodate you. Note, there is no water or electrical hookup. We have a nice pond in the back of the property located just before the mountain starts. We are more than happy to hike up the "hill" with you and show you some tent sites with spectacular views. Great for bird watchers and bikers alike!Allen has carved out beautiful sites  with awesome views of the western Virginia mountains.

Dog Friendly Scenic Retreat
The views at this place are SPECTACULAR!! It’s off leash dog friendly which is great for our pup. Definitely try to get there in the daylight as it gets really dark really fast. We got there pretty late so the only thing I’d recommend is a bit more signage to the sites but I’d stay here again and again…and again. Unfortunately it was a cloudy night so we didn’t get to see the stars but I’m sure they cover the sky because of how secluded it is. doing our morning walk around the property was so beautiful. So many different types of trees that we spent the morning identifying and huge elephant ears and wildflowers by the entrance. There were two pups on property and they were super friendly and of course our pup had a great time playing with them! Ted was courteous and informative especially since we were getting in so late and Allen was at the property directed us to our site when we got there! I’d recommend this to everyone especially in the fall time where you can see the foliage.

This property is an amazing slice of Appalachia. A very private place with incredible views. I appreciated Ted reaching out ahead of time. Getting the chance to meet Allen at the property was wonderful. He has done an incredible job with the place and really loved us having our kids there to enjoy it. If we are in the neighborhood again, we will be back.

Sleep with the deer!!
This was by far the best camp I’ve ever experienced. The views you get in the morning and sun down are unbeatable. And if you go hiking early in the morning, you will find a plethora of deer waiting for you.
