Cool mountain air and quiet wooded surroundings set the tone for your stay at this restored 1802 property, once a Civil War-era blacksmith shop. Mornings unfold with coffee in hand as soft light fills the rooms, while evenings invite you to settle in by the woodstove or gather outdoors under a wide sky.
