Guest access
Gracewood is set back 1/4 mile from the road up a long drive, nestled among towering pines, oaks and maples with plenty of room for parking your toys. The main house includes three porches, all of which are attached and a fire pit on the back lawn. The property is located on six acres which you're free to roam, and includes a pond, carriage house, potter's kiln and barn (although these buildings are off-limits to guests). The house has a view of a large meadow with vistas in every direction. You can enjoy views of the sunset and sunrise from the porches, and you'll see plenty of flora and fauna from the big bay window in the kitchen. We often watch deer in the front yard while we eat dinner in the kitchen.
Other things to note
We lovingly restored this house in 2022, and named it Gracewood after our mothers. They taught us the value of gathering, and we're excited to share this wonderful old house with our family, friends and new guests. We hope you'll enjoy this place as much as we do, and make new memories here with your own families and friends. While the interior of the home is nearly fully updated, the grounds and other buildings will remain a work in progress for some time, as we continue to improve the property and restore the natural beauty of this amazing place.
