Colonel Katie Boyd herself, adorn the space, alongside logs that have weathered over two centuries. It's a blend of Appalachian history and modern comfort—a true gem waiting to be discovered.

And the fun doesn't stop indoors! 🎉 Relax on our expansive porch, play games with loved ones, or gather 'round the fire pit under the starlit sky. It's all about making memories that last a lifetime, surrounded by family, friends, and the warmth of tradition.

Cozy cabin in private cove

Our quilting group stayed in this cabin for the second time because we adore it! It’s in a lush green private cove with beautiful views from the deck. They’ve upgraded some furniture and bedding since last year so it’s even nicer. We are older ladies and some of us cannot negotiate the steep stairs but we found ways to accommodate everyone. We fully expect to stay there again. ( The only caveat is for those who can’t deal with the occasional smell of distant cows). We didn’t have any moose wander over the mountain, which we had been hoping for, but we did get some snowflakes so we counted our visit perfect.

Overall property was great. It was small things that caused only 4*. Dirty dishes, light fixture without cover, dead bugs and cobwebs. Area is beautiful and quiet for peaceful stay. Livingroom could use some comfortable furniture.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Owen

"Step into the legacy of honor embodied by this house, once the domain of the indomitable Lt. Colonel Katie A Boyd. A trailblazer for women in the military, she epitomized strength, resilience, and unwavering principles.

Lt. Colonel Boyd was no ordinary soldier—she was a force of nature. Tough as nails, she faced down challenges with grit and determination, never backing down from injustice or disrespect. With a heart of gold, she mentored countless young soldiers, urging them to pursue education and personal growth. Her impact was profound, shaping lives and leaving an enduring legacy of honor and integrity.

During her service in Okinawa amid the Vietnam War, Lt. Colonel Boyd stood as a beacon of courage and compassion. For many wounded troops, she was their first glimpse of hope, offering solace and support in the face of adversity.

As her nephew and niece, we were privileged to know and love her. Her memory lives on in every corner of this house, a testament to her strength and spirit.

In 2017, we opened the doors of this unique #AppalachianFarmhouse to guests like you, inviting you to experience the warmth and history that permeates these walls. So come, take a moment to rest and reflect, and honor the remarkable legacy of Lt. Colonel Katie A Boyd."
