About the host
Hosted by Joan Freeland McGowan
The house has been in the Freeland Family for almost 60 years. Now the three sisters, Carole, Joan, and Susan, own it and provide loving care. We love being there ourselves, and also welcoming guests from all over the world to our property.
Why they chose this property
The house is charming both inside and out. Built during 1860's, the original house was tiny. Over the years other rooms were added, including a second floor bathroom. The property provides pure, cold mountain well water.
What makes this property unique
The front porch has an uninterrupted, sweeping mountain view. The area is peaceful and abounds with birds and wildlife. The home remains a quiet, comfortable get-away for those who want to relax. The nights are dark and, on a clear night, the sky is flooded with stars. You may see an occasional spacecraft, many shooting stars and the Milky Way!
